Under Armour Velociti Elite 3

Under Armour Velociti Elite 3 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size confirmed across all sources. Forefoot sufficiently wide to accommodate natural foot splay in long-distance races; heel collar more padded than typical for a carbon racer.

Feel

Controlled and direct ride, with a pronounced forefoot rocker and HOVR+ foam more responsive than previous versions but firmer compared to TPU competitors. Immediate snap, minimal compression; several sources compare it to the New Balance SC Elite 3 for a more grounded feel.

Durability

Traditional rubber outsole at forefoot and heel. Minimal wear after 70–80 km; estimated longevity 400–500 km in race use with additional life for fast-training sessions.

Best for

Half marathon and marathon for forefoot strikers seeking stability and consistent pacing. Also suited to interval training and quality sessions where the runner wants to do more of the work than the shoe.

Weak points

Foam perceived as too firm over longer distances: some sources note it demands more effort from the runner compared to top rivals. Reduced grip on wet asphalt reported by multiple users.
