Strength is a staple of Vasque design, and the Velocity 2. 0 Trail Running Shoe proves that "strong" doesn"t have to be a synonym for "heavy." At less than a pound, the lightweight, next-generation design of the Velocity features a comfortable and breathable synthetic upper. Vasque built in a stabilizing TPU plate for full and even support to combat fatigue during extended use. Specific EVA cushioning targets known pressure points of the foot, thus easing stress on your grateful joints.
