FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the cushioning and lightweight profile make the Velocity Nitro 4 a reliable choice for long-distance training and racing.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running shoe, they provide enough stability for light weight training and cardio sessions.
How do I ensure the right size?
The Velocity Nitro 4 fits true to size for most runners. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Is the knit upper water-resistant?
The knit upper is designed for maximum breathability, meaning it is not waterproof and will absorb water in heavy rain.
How long will the NITROFOAM last?
With standard road usage, the foam is designed to retain its performance characteristics for 400 to 500 miles.
Troubleshooting
Upper feels too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining lockdown.
Debris getting into the shoe
Ensure the knit collar is pulled taut against the ankle or consider wearing gaiters for trail use.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the rubber sole with a damp brush to remove caked-on dirt or debris that clogs the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Velocity Nitro 4 trainers last, start by loosening the laces fully to accommodate your foot when first trying them on, then tighten to your preferred level of lockdown. Ensure the PWRTAPE sections are not overly constricted to maintain circulation. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the engineered knit with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning.
