Built tough for rugged terrain and it offers a dual density EVA midsole for motion control.

For off-road running that goes beyond the soft surface paths at the city park the rugged Vasque Women's Velocity Trail Running Shoe gives you the protection and support necessary to hop up and over boulders jump across streams and grind up narrow ridge routes. For intense workouts such as these support and stability is needed from all of the shoe's components. The 1.2mm synthetic nubuck and breathable airmesh upper with welded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) reinforcing offers support without causing the foot to overheat. Underneath the foot a TPU plate provides protection from gnarly roots jagged rocks and torsion control over uneven terrain in general. This plate sits immediately above the Vasque Mako® outsole and gives you confidence when running on rock slabs descending switchbacks or making your way up a pebble-strewn logging road. And above the TPU plate a dual density molded EVA midsole offers cushioning and motion control that becomes increasingly important as the mileage piles up. The Vasque Velocity Trail Running Shoe for women includes a Beneke-Ceroprene rand to provide even more protection from the wilderness floor and a gusseted tongue to help shed debris.
