Vasque Shoes Men's Velocity Trail Running Shoe

Tough enough to fit into the emerging low-cut hiking shoe category yet light enough to help you achieve personal bests wherever you roam, the Vasque Men's Velocity Trail Running Shoe is a great match for those who run on especially rough terrain. Substantial support on the medial (inside) of the foot makes the Velocity an excellent motion control shoe, ideal for runners who overpronate or have high arches. The Velocity Trail Running Shoe is equipped with Vasque's Mako outsole, an aggressive tread for traction on steep grades. A dual density molded EVA midsole and Beneke-Ceroprene rand provide cushioning and support that's critical whether pushing through a multi-hour run or just getting back out on the trail after a layoff. Between the outsole and insole a rigid plate of molded thermoplastic urethane gives the Vasque Velocity Trail Running Shoe for men torsional strength to handle rocky routes and eroded paths. If an extra aggressive urge overcomes you, the rubber toe bumper and mesh tongue gusset protect the foot from stubborn roots and loose debris on go-light, go-fast scrambles and canyon routes.

• 1.2mm synthetic nubuck leather and breathable airmesh nylon upper with welded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) reinforcing
• An excellent motion control shoe for overpronators. A good fit for those with high arches too
• Molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) plate for underfoot protection and stability
• Dual density molded EVA midsole provides motion control on rough trails
• Vasque Mako® outsole offers aggressive traction for rugged trails

• Beneke-Ceroprene rand provides enhanced support and protection
• Elastic mesh gusseted tongue seals out debris
• Weight: 1 lb. 12 oz. (794 grams) per pair

great running and hiking shoe
I bought these for my husband as I have the women's version and love them. He didn't have time to break them in and had no troubles out of them. He also likes the rubber tips and tough sides which help keep his feet dry and the shoes from getting torn on rough terrain. The shoe breathes well which is a major factor for him.

Excellent Trail Runner
I have owned 6 pairs of these shoes. They are perfect for unstable, rocky, rooty or wet trails. The traction and forefoot protection plate work great. Not really suitable for pavement or groomed fire roads but great on any unimproved dirt roads.

great trail runners
These shoes are comfortable and need no breaking in. They run true to size. I like them so much I wear them as my every day shoes around campus. They look cool too.

I've never had a better off road runner
Running trails, paths and hills are a pleaseure when wearing these extremely comfortable shoes - also very stable. I've owned and experiemnted with over a half-dozen different trail shoes over the past 5 years; these are the best by far. I've had my one pair for almost 3-years and look forward to purchasing another sometime soon. I picked up my first pair on closeout by accident. I suspect you can get them for around $50 (+/- $10) if you're patient and search regularly.

more than a trail runner
I originally got this shoe as a trail running shoe but there so comfortable that I wear them all of the time. My feet are kinda flat and I like a shoe that is snug across the foot with just a little room in the toe box. These shoes work great. I'm now on my second pair.
