Under Armour Velocity Elite 2 SHOCK Review

[@shawntankoksiong5144]

Please do a follow up video. Very excited that you like these!

[@dcamos78]

I’ve been telling people this is a sneaky good shoe. I was very pleasantly surprised.

[@dorins3787]

The quality of your videos improved a lot. Good ways to send the message. Good camera angle. Also a good review structure. Congrats!

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you like everything it’s a learning process. I’m not a professional and not here to make it as a KZbinr I just enjoy the process

[@dittellforthewin]

I raced a 15k in this recently and liked it. It offered enough of a punch to go for this distance.

[@shawntankoksiong5144]

any similar comparisons to other super shoes?

[@bcockton]

You're evaluation of a great training shoe is spot on. Having run in the V1 for about 250km, the flow outsole holds up better than you think. I wish they increased the width of the heel, it's a bit unstable if you start heel striking. Do you know if they changed the makeup of the flow foam (didn't know it was super critical; thought it was standard EVA). The price is the biggest hurdle for me, unless its on sale.

[@FordyRuns]

yep theyve upgraded the flow apparently

[@TrailrunnerTroy]

Ha! I love this too as a trainer and was so surprised. Agree on all counts.

[@mackiechang]

got on sale for $100, as a training shoe, seems good

[@brianwj5]

I have these and love it as well. The Flow outsole does hold pretty well. I will be curious to see your experience, if you are able to do a follow up.

[@TB-bp7bs]

I bought these shoes to use in the London marathon. I thought they were great and felt quick over shorter distances 5ks 10ks, over longer runs I thought they really lacked comfort and stability.

[@chrisrose3967]

I have the v.1 and use it as a tempo shoe. The outsole is not very durable, though. After only a 100 km it started to show signs of wear. Fortunately I've got those at a discounted price(around 170€).

[@Ason426]

I'm running the Toronto marathon this weekend in these. Picked them up at 40% off from under Armour website. First time wearing a "super shoe". I've prob got about 120km of training runs with them. I feel like they softened up a little since my first run. Definitely feel the pop and notice holding faster paces is easier vs my speed 2 that I use as a daily. I'm a midfoot to forefoot striker and find the wide forefoot provides a stable landing zone and works well with the front rocker. My main complaint with the shoe is the fit. I love the wider forefoot but I find the midfoot is too narrow for me so If I try to tie the shoes up to get a secure fit I get pressure on the inside and outside of the arch. To avoid this I have to tie the shoes loser which can cause my foot to move around slightly in the shoe with quick direction changes and I don't get that secure locked in fit.But tbh running on the street around my neighbourhood It hasn't been an issue. The other issue is it's a little heavier than most of the mainstream marathon shoes. I think they could save weight by getting rid of the flow foam and adding rubber. I agree that it is a great training shoe, but I wouldn't buy it at regular price. I'd probably go with the endorphin pro 4 at full price. Get the velociti elite on sale and it would be a great training shoe and/or a budget racer. Hoping to hit a 3:45 PR this weekend and will be working up to a 3:30 in the fall.

[@FordyRuns]

Good luck

[@yuree08]

Can you please do a versus video on these?

[@FordyRuns]

Coming real soon 🤗

[@TheMileStalker]

I have two pairs. I fly in this shoe. Fly!

[@늙고병든-r3f]

right, but I paid only $105 last week , I think best price with performance under $150 range

[@thediton]

Here, in Asia, we can get this for $190 so I say it’s a good price

[@taurusx1000]

I think when u have the option of puma deviate nitro 2,at $160 or less USD, it makes this invalid

[@JDeezle21]

The best Under Armour lineup for a real runner. Grab the UA Velociti Elite 2 & UA Velociti 3 as your daily and race shoe.

[@richardharvey4216]

As much as you like these at that price point there are tons of shoes that give you a little bit more. Why the UA Elites over the Nike VF, NB SC Elite, Endorphin Pro 4, Hoka Cielo, Asics Metaspeed, Adios Pro 3? Tough to break into that market with an “ok” shoe. If the UA was half the price I’d take a punt but at full pop no chance. Cheers Fordy, happy running!!

[@aroldoamoroso9968]

what do you think for a marathon? weight 68 kg sub 3h soft medium or hard midsole? difference with Adidas adios pro 3 that I currently use...

[@FordyRuns]

I wouldn’t wear these for a marathon as nearly at zero drop

[@SaschaRobitzki]

I got a pair for $118 from UA. A decent shoe for that money.

[@popzooz22]

Great shoes!

[@bngngb]

is it good for wide foot?

[@SaschaRobitzki]

No. I had to size up; same as v1.

[@fatmel_8214]

Lokedi came 2nd women at Boston in these shoes! That is a fact. Great review! 👍🏽

[@Manuel-901]

Good description. First Like to Fordy. Have a good day.

[@FordyRuns]

Thanks, you too!

[@tombola4046]

The only plus I see these over the new Metaspeed for same price being they are in stock! Loads of Bot reviews on the under armour website too

[@FordyRuns]

wait for the metaspeed

[@gtromble]

It's hard to understand any company who can't get sizing right by now. Seems like that would be the easiest thing of all. If your designers screwed up the last dimensions, should be easy to catch before production ramps up and just change the stupid size labels. (Oh, and get a competent last designer for next time.)

[@i.p2088]

Not true to size long or short?

[@SaschaRobitzki]

Lengthwise they're TTS. But they are pointy and push the first toe in like a dress shoe.

[@kevinscott4938]

Don’t say these are going to be “ok”!!

[@FordyRuns]

ok

[@TheHutchRuns]

Best shoe from Under Armour but there's still better shoes at that price point, Metaspeed Sky Paris or Edge Paris comes to mind, that's a belter! Good luck for London Chris!

[@SaschaRobitzki]

But they're never discounted that much. You can get the Velociti Elite 2 easily at 50% discount directly from UA.

[@smellysam]

Had a pair of non outsole shoes a few years back, fell on my bum twice in the rain, walking, within a few hundred meters. Never ever getting another pair.

[@SaschaRobitzki]

Grip is excellent without a rubber, better than with.

[@smellysam]

@@SaschaRobitzki are we talking shoes?

[@SaschaRobitzki]

@@smellysam Yeah, I run with them in humid conditions and heavy rainfalls here in Singapore. I have zero issues with their grip, it's excellent.

[@edwinduisburg8138]

Training shoe and lack of durability not a good combination.
