When it comes to road cycling shoes you typically have to choose between expensive high-end shoes or more affordable options that compromise on fit. Trek’s Velocis shoes are looking to break that rule by offering premium features at a more affordable mid-range price point. The shoes retail for $249.99 and are available in black, white and a bright red color scheme. Despite being a mid-level priced shoe, the Velocis utilizes a dual BOA Li2 closure system for micro adjustments. Trek has also incorporated their MetNet relief zones in the upper material which are three-sided star shaped perforations that allow the material to flex around riders feet. The fit of the shoes should be familiar to those who have used Bontrager shoes as they share the same InForm Pro Last.
The Velocis shoes are part of Trek’s new lineup of shoes that replace the previous Bontrager branded lineup. While the Velocis may look like a high-end shoe, it’s actually one of the most affordable in the new Trek lineup. The Velocis shoes have a classic road cycling shoe design with one piece upper and center cable routing. Trek offers the Velocis shoes in three colors: classic white and black color schemes as well as the Viper Red that we have in this review. We would describe the color as similar to Velocio’s Fire Red clothing as it’s a very vibrant red that almost looks pumpkin-like in some lighting. It’s a solid color scheme that is only broken up by the black dials, cables and sole.
The shoes have a synthetic upper that looks to be nearly one piece with some additional structure built into it around the sides. Branding is limited to Trek on the outer heel and BOA logos on the dials. What’s unique about these shoes is the MetNet Relief Zones which are the three-star perforations on the sides of the shoes. These are strategically placed to allow the upper material to flex around riders feet for additional comfort on short or long rides. The MetNet technology also allows air to flow through the shoes to keep feet cool and gives the entire upper material a flexible feel. For some additional structure, Trek has incorporated stiffer material on the toe and heel cup. The tongue on the shoes is also highly perforated and has nice details like a thin lip on the top to prevent chafing.
