Vasque Velocity VST Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Item #VSQ0088 | 0 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Decent shoe but not for high performance.

By Backcountry.com Employee October 16, 2011

The shoe is comfortable but I probably won't get them again. I thought with the rugged build of the shoe that it would handle some high mileage, but after the first couple runs I noticed some substantial damage to the sole that I thought was unreasonable (heal started taking in air and there was a noticeable sucking sound. The shoe does grip unless conditions are a little wet, then I always get a little concerned about traction on some of the smooth rock in Little or Big Cottonwood. Also, with my hyper-mobile foot the wide toe-box made for to much play in the shoe.

Honestly, I am not saying this is a bad shoe, I am just pointing out it's flaws.
