TYR Valkyrie Elite Carbon | Full Review

Thomas reviews the TYR Valkyrie Elite with color commentary courtesy of Robbe. Featuring a Pebax midsole, carbon fiber plate, and breathable-yet-supportive upper, it's a solid shoe that stacks up against the rest. Available now for $250.

    Why did they write 'valkyrie' wrong?

    I don't know, but they did say this: "After glimpsing this cutting-edge carbon running shoe, we noticed that you found the subtle hidden misspelling. While the latest edition of Speedworks features the correct spelling, you can capitalize on a unique opportunity by using the misspelled Norse warrior’s name as a promo code (VALKRYIE, this misspelled way) on TYR.com. Doing so will grant you a generous 20% discount on a pair of these exclusive first-run shoes."

    @@Believeintherun I just tried it-and the code works! 🙏🏻 Only it’s VALKRYIE, not VALKYRIE, which failed to work. Hey, VALKRYIE makes the shoe cheaper than the Endorphin Pro 4…. what a wonderful and totally-intentional secret promotion TRY (err, I mean TYR) has run. 🤔🪽😉

    Ha! Hadn’t noticed the misspelling. This is a surprisingly capable all-around choice; useful for linear tempo runs. A little too tall and tippy for the track given the softer foam. Like but don’t love it. Best use for me is athleisure wear. So many better options. Closest to the Atreyu Race Model, which is less than half the price.

    Is the toe box really roomy? Robbe and Thomas are saying it ain't exactly Altra/Topo level, but is it more generous than e.g. Saucony Endorphin Speed/Pro 4?

    Another race shoe around $250, too much choice and are they any better than the Endorphin Pro 4 etc? Also, the Metaspeed Sky Paris and Edge Paris are cheaper and, supposedly, better! Surely a new brand should come in at a better price if they want to muscle in on the market?
