Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour Velociti Pace Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a lightweight and responsive shoe for everyday distance running in various climates, particularly dry conditions. Their key benefit is the combination of a light, breathable upper with energetic UA HOVR™ cushioning that reduces impact and returns energy. A potential caveat is that they are best suited for neutral runners, and may not offer sufficient support for those requiring pronation control.

FAQs

What type of runner is this shoe best for?

These trainers are best suited for neutral runners who need a balance of flexibility and cushioning for everyday distance running.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The full-length rubber outsole offers good traction, making them suitable for light trails. However, they are primarily designed for road and everyday running, and may not provide the specialized support or protection needed for technical trails.

How do I clean the translucent mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the mesh to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What is the purpose of the exposed internal cage?

The internal cage provides structure and support to the mid and forefoot, working with the mesh upper to enhance stability and fit without adding significant weight.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for a personalized fit.

What is the weight of these trainers?

The trainers weigh approximately 7 oz (200g), contributing to a lightweight feel during your runs.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The offset is 8mm, which provides a moderate drop suitable for neutral runners, balancing cushioning with ground feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If using a custom insole, ensure it is seated correctly. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The UA HOVR™ cushioning may lose some effectiveness after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and energy return.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the outsole provides good traction, performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Ensure you are running within your limits and consider alternative footwear for extremely wet or slippery conditions.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Velociti Pace trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, which can warp the shape and materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
