However, once I had a mile or two under my belt, my feet warmed up, and I didn't notice the cold. The first time I stepped out on a cold winter's day, I definitely noticed the difference when the wind cut right through, chilling my toes. In the picture above, you can see the light shining through the side of the shoe. How thin? I can read the writing on my socks through the top of the shoe. In order to shave their weight (my size 12 models weigh 9.3 ounces, compared to 10.95 for the Nike Pegasus 39 and 11.6 ounces for the UA Charged Gemini), the Velociti Elite uses some pretty thin material. I did notice that my cadence was slightly faster when wearing the Velociti Elites, though.
When I looked at the results from my Garmin Epix 2 watch, I found that I ran each mile at almost exactly the same pace: 8:25. I then went to the track, and ran a mile each wearing the Velociti Elite, the Under Armour Charged Gemini Running shoes, and the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39, which is currently at the top of our list of the best running shoes. However, on my 13-mile run, my average pace wearing the Velociti Elite was 10:19, not that much different from the 10:24 pace I had the previous week when I ran 11 miles in another running shoe. My stats would seem to back that up on my short runs of about 3 miles, I averaged around a 9-minute mile, versus 9:24 when wearing the Under Armour Charged Gemini (the company's $100 all-around running shoe). I'm not going to set any course record - at my best, I finished a marathon in 3 hours and 52 minutes - but I definitely felt faster when wearing the Velociti Elites.
