Is the Velociti Elite 3 good for a marathon?

Yes, it is designed for long road races. The carbon plate and light foam keep it fast late in the race, but the firm, low-offset ride suits midfoot and forefoot strikers best.

How does it compare with the Velociti Elite 2?

The third version keeps the light carbon-plated formula with a refined minimal upper and the same high-rebound foam. It is an incremental update rather than a redesign, so racers happy with the previous model will feel at home.

Can I use it for daily training?

It is a race shoe. The thin upper, firm foam and plate are built for speed, and most runners will want a more cushioned shoe for easy days and recovery runs.

Is it good for heel strikers?

Less so. The 2mm offset is nearly flat and the heel is firm, so heavy heel strikers may prefer a super shoe with more heel cushioning and a higher drop.

How does the fit run?

It fits true to size with a regular, snug race fit. Runners with wide feet or who prefer room in the toe box should consider sizing up or trying it on first.
