Why Runners Love Veloci
A Letter From The Founder
"Half of all runners get hurt every year. I was one of them. So I built the shoe I wanted for myself."
As a former Division I runner, running shoes hurt the front of my feet from the narrow toe boxes of traditional shoes. Barefoot and minimalist shoes offered a more spacious toe box, but left my calves and Achilles aching.
While working in running stores, I saw the same thing every day: people leaving in the best available shoe, but not the right one. So we built the one I’d been looking for, with modern cushioning and support, paired with a toe box shaped the way your foot actually is. We can't wait to hear how you love your pair!
