Our take on the TYR Valkyrie Elite Carbon Running Shoes

The TYR Valkyrie Elite Carbon is a road racing shoe built around a full-length carbon-fiber plate in a foam midsole, with a 6 mm drop and forefoot cushioning aimed at fast race pace. The upper is a synthetic mesh and polyurethane blend with a waterproof treatment, which is unusual for a carbon racer and makes it more weather-ready than most rivals. It suits runners who want a plated shoe for race day and wet training days, though the heavier, stiffer build and the waterproof upper make it less breathable and less forgiving than lighter carbon racers. Reviewers treat it as a niche pick from a swim-and-triathlon brand rather than a mainstream marathon shoe.

Questions and answers

Is the TYR Valkyrie Elite Carbon a good first carbon-plated shoe?: It can work, but the firm, stiff ride is less forgiving than most plated trainers. Runners new to plates may prefer a softer option for their first race shoe.
How does it compare with other carbon racers?: It trades some weight and breathability for a waterproof upper and a firm, snappy plate. It is a wet-weather race option rather than a pure lightweight marathon shoe.
Is the upper really waterproof?: The synthetic mesh and polyurethane upper is treated as waterproof, so it handles rain and wet roads. It is not a fully sealed boot, so deep puddles can still get in.
What drop does it have?: It has a 6 mm drop, which suits midfoot and forefoot strikers. Heel strikers may want a higher-drop racer.
Does it fit true to size?: It comes in normal width only and is generally reported to fit true to size. Runners with wide feet should size up or look elsewhere.
What is in the box?: One pair of shoes with the Ortholite insole fitted. No extra insoles or race laces are included.
Where is the TYR Valkyrie Elite Carbon Running Shoes cheapest?: At TYR, for $160.00, 20% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.

Where can I buy the TYR Valkyrie Elite Carbon Running Shoes?: 12 stores we checked sell it, including Scheels, TYR, Runnerinn.com, Swim2000.com, Poshmark.
