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!

I’m new to running and have experienced foot pain since beginning. These shoes looked promising so I ordered a pair. They are the best shoes I’ve ever worn! Zero foot pain! Makes running a delightful experience. I’ve ordered another pair! Thank you Veloci.
I like the shoes, but they are too tight. I need to exchange them for a pair half a size bigger. How can I do that? I only tried them on, I have not used them.
The shoes are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Regarding comfort, the wide box does feel really nice when compared to other traditional shoes. They feel good in my 2-3 weekly 5K runs.
Got these to wear for walking on pad at standing desk so they are inside shoes only--have not taken them for a run. Love the fit and support and after a full day of wear in this manner, my legs are not fatigued. They are great!
Took these out on a 13miler and multiple treadmill runs and they are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever run in! I've worn brooks and asics which are awesome, but these Ascents did a better job at keeping my calves from hurting through those first few miles (when they typically act up). I wouldn't use these as trainers, but for long runs especially on pavement these are a win!
Love them🥰 very comfortable and definitely helps with my legs not being so sore😱 definitely would recommend to other runners.
Lots of room for my toes and need a second pair for work now!
I love my Veloci ascent! Best shoe ever! Thank you for offering so many wonderful colors and styles! I am also a big fan of the Mesa too! Keep on Running(in Veloci’s)!!!
Without a doubt, the greatest running shoes I have ever owned!! This is already the second pair I’ve purchased and I will soon own all of the colors!
Love love love
I have three pairs so far.
HAPPY FEET 🥳😊
Best Shoe EVER 💙💙💙I will never walk/run in another shoe again! These truly are designed with comfort and protection of the foot in mind! Thank you Veloci! Try them today, your feet will thank you♥️
I started running at age 51 and after 20 years of traditional running shoes I developed foot pain from pressure on little toe and across top of foot. I tried wider shoes and even having the shoes stretched. I ordered my first pair of Velocci shoes two weeks ago, at the same time had a corn removed, and I’m now able to resume running pain free . The wider toe box is so comfortable! Thank you .
Significant improvement to my walking gait and overall ease when walking my dog thanks to these shoes. I have plantar fasciitis and a swollen Achilles tendon. These shoes have been great for me.
Loving my new shoes for my 2 mile daily walk!
These feel like no other shoe I have put on before. They are magical. Comfortable, but supportive. I’ve worn a lot of running shoes and these are, by far, the best.
My sneakers arrived today!!! I have bone spurs and Achilles tendinitis. I wear a boot but it is very cumbersome but effective. I wear the boot on and off. If I don't wear the boot for a period of time my heel becomes sore but I work through the pain! When my sneakers arrived, I was so excited. I had soreness in my heel. But baby!!! When I put the sneakers on and started walking around the house my left foot heel pain went from a 4 to a "zero" the elevation and support inside the shoe is like have Physical Therapy on the go!!! I feel like I am standing taller. My posture feels aligned. Forget bedroom slippers!! I am going to order another pair. One for inside the house to walk around in. And the pair I received for outdoors. VELOCI scored a 10!!! This brand has taken Elevate to another dimension!!!
Happy Feet 🥳
Everything I have been looking for in a daily trainer! Great support, wide toe box, and comfortable!
Too clunky for me
So soft good cushioning on inside. Doesn’t hurt my foot at all. I recommend Veloci shoes to try and you won’t regret it.
Very comfortable and definitely feel better the day after a long run than I used to!
I love them. Fixed my foot pain. I put in 4-6 miles a day walking/running and I feel stable and great in these shoes.
I just had ankle surgery with three joints fused …16 weeks off my feet. The brace the doc recommended was painful and just didn’t work with shoes. I was about to give up and just stay off my feet for a longer time when I tried these shoes. They have such great ankle support, I was able to start walking again. I bought 2 pair immediately. Many thanks! I’m up to 5000 steps again in only three weeks.
Very comfortable, wide toebed is insane. Love the colors and design.
Best shoes I have ever run in.
