Ultra Responsive & Propulsive

Lightweight & Breathable
At 8.1oz, the Hyperweave upper keeps the shoe light and airflow consistent — so heat and weight don't factor in over distance.

Cushion Built for Distance
39.5mm of Pebax® foam absorbs impact without losing responsiveness — protective on the early miles, reliable on the late ones.

Secure Fit. No Distractions
Locking laces, a gusseted tongue, and lockdown paneling keep the foot in place — nothing shifts, nothing loosens.

Reviews

Left a popular brands for TYR

"For years, I ran with Brooks (Too Heavy). Bcz I'm a NYC runner, New Balance is the "Preferred" brand for Marathon. I didn't care for the Drop on either shoe. Then I discovered Saucony. I really l Iiked the brand, I am I "Clydesdale" runner. (+220lbs) bcz of that, I was wearing the sneakers down fast. Then at a CrossFit competition, TYR was at the games. (Owned Metcons). Long story short, 2 years later Still have my CXT-2 in great condition. Ran 3 marathon and trained the same Valkyrie elite almost 500 miles later. SUPER LIGHT, soft and stacked on the heels with spring when I run. I need them in more colors like red or pink."

Highly Impressed

"The Valkyrie Carbon Elite has surprised me at how comfortable it feels when moving through all paces. It’s been great for speed workouts. Looking forward to my upcoming half marathon with these. The midsole is exactly what I’m looking for - compliant but firms up enough when picking up speed. The fit works well for me, and I’d say I have an average width foot. The upper over the toes does bunch some when tightening the laces but I hope that goes away as it breaks in some. It has not caused any rubbing or discomfort."

— Jacob Q. (5/5)

"Great shoes."

— Aminifu (5/5)

Great runners

"Good fit and finish. Recommend you go a half size up. Conservative energy return - great performance for my needs! -cnvrtbl 5"

— Conrado A. (5/5)

Best running shoes worst color options

"Love my Valkyrie elites just wish they kept making them in black. The white ones get so dirty so fast and my work only allows black shoes so I’m currently trying to figure out what my next shoes will be. Also the foam on the inner sole is very weak and mine had a huge piece come out"

— Jesse B. (3/5)

Life changing for running to prevent pain!

"These are life changing! I broke my back 6 years ago and have been trying to get back into running ever since, I’ve tried all the popular brand running shoes and could never run more than 2-3 miles without my back hurting or ending up with back spasms the next day. I was able to run 6 miles in these shoes with no pain and woke up the next day with no pain. Totally worth every penny!"

— Shayne C. (5/5)

"I was excited to find a foot shaped carbon shoe but these did mot work for me. The shoe fit small (i ordered a half size up from usual size) and was very stiff. I put one shoe on and took a few steps and immediately could tell they would give me blisters if I tried to run in them. I normally run in Altras but wanted to try something new! Sadly, these were not the right shoe for me and had to return them"

— Naomi (1/5)

Favorite Race Day Shoe

"I’ve tried several brands over the years, and these offer incredible bounce-back and stability. I also love the natural, wider foot-shape design. They’re the first carbon-plated shoes I can comfortably keep on even after a long race"

— Joseph T. (5/5)
