FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Velocity Nitro 5 is a neutral trainer. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may want to consult a podiatrist regarding the use of custom orthotic insoles.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are excellent for running, they are optimized for forward motion. They are suitable for light gym use but may lack the lateral stability required for heavy weightlifting.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
Typically, road running shoes maintain their cushioning integrity for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for high breathability and will not prevent water from entering during heavy rain.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe is designed to be lightweight, though specific weight can vary slightly based on the size ordered.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or hotspots during long runs
Adjust the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points or consider a thinner performance sock.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for mud or debris buildup and clear the channels with a soft brush.
Foam feels less responsive over time
Ensure the shoes have 24 hours of rest between runs to allow the nitrogen-infused foam to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Velocity Nitro 5, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: The shoes use a standard lace closure system. Ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation across the top of the foot.
- Break-in: While ready to use out of the box, light walking or short runs help the foam contour to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and a mild detergent. Remove the insoles and wash separately.
- Drying: Air dry only in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place in a dryer, as high heat will degrade the integrity of the NITROFOAM and the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material aging.
