4.0 out of 5 stars Vasque Velocity, June 19, 2008

By 

Some Guy (Hawaii) - See all my reviews

I like these shoes a lot(size 13). Very well constructed. Solid feel. Cool(temperature-wise). They were a bit brighter than I expected(purchased mail order), but dulled down after some use. Have gotten a couple positive comments about their appearance. I felt they were a bit tight around the ball of the foot, but I was still able to use them. And after kind of surrendering to that - they did kind of break in to the point where they fit nice now, though a bit wider there would be nice, but for trail shoes I would think they fit well. I would buy another Vasque shoe after this experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vasque Velocity, October 16, 2006

I'm an avid trail runner and wore the Montrail Leona Divide trail shoes for years and loved them. Montrail decided to discontinue the Leona Divide leaving many searching for an alternative. On the recommendation of a friend, I took a chance on the Vasque Velocity and am very satisfied with this shoe. Similar to the Leona Divide, the Vasque Velocity has a stable platform with stiff heel and arch support. The toe box is not as wide as the Leona, but offers excellent protection from the roots and rocks. The shoe is true to size. I am 6 ft and 180 lbs and need a sturdy platform for running on miles of technical trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Right out of the box, I wore this shoe on a 21 mile trail run in Shenandoah National Park on miles of the rocky Appalachian Trail with six stream crossings and experienced absolutely no problems with this shoe. Only time will tell how they stand up to the abuse I'm about to throw at them.

This review is from: Vasque Men's Velocity Trail Running Shoe (Apparel)

I purchased these shoes about 4 months ago after getting back into running following a long hiatus. I've owned Vasque Sundowner hiking boots for years and have loved them, so I decided to give these a try. Virtually all of the reviews were 4+ stars, and Amazon had them discounted fairly significantly off the MSRP, so it seemed like a no brainer.

My reaction after using them on approximately 10 trail runs of 3 - 13 miles is mixed. On the positive side, I really love the way the shoes feel. They struck the right balance between cushion and support that I was looking for. The tread is also excellent; I have had no issues with slippage, even on damp days.

I gave the shoes 3 stars, however, because I have consistently gotten a blood blister just off the ball of my left foot after running longer than 5 miles. I realize that blisters happen in trail running, particularly with technical trails, so I don't want to chalk it up entirely to the shoe. Still, it's happening consistently and it's not cool. I've tried different types of socks, tighter and looser lacing patterns, but I can't seem to make it go away. Since I really don't want to buy another pair of shoes, I'm just hoping that I eventually develop a callous in that spot.
