Love the XTRM 2. First pair of VJ's, but fit like a glove right out of the box. Purposefully ran my first run on a trail with large amounts of wet rock to test the grip and it was 10/10.

Fantastic grip (of course, the best on the planet), amazing feeling of the ground, confidence in any directions on any terrain - up and down, forward and backward, right and left. In my last races I overtook dozens of runners while running downhill on steep slopes

XTRM 2

I've been racing in the XTRM 2 for two years. They are super grippy on obstacles and fast down the trails with great responsiveness. I've experimented with other brands and other VJ styles..... For me the XTRM 2 have been superior!!!

I'm torn between these or the lightspeed. I'm going to use these, or the Lightspeed for the Minotaur Skyrace. Lots of sharp scree, the race directors call a section of the race the "shoekiller" . Any advice? It's not a review but I'm hoping for good advice :)

These socks are super comfy and look super rad!

Best shoes I have ever worn in the mts. Great in all conditions

Great shoes n service!

Loving the new Maxx's VJ literally stepped it up with the Maxx2. Really lightweight (even when going through mud and water) responsive to terrain and they have a much improved cushion. The only thing I would improve is a stiffer heel cup for more rugged terrain.

VERY fabulous grip up and down rocks. Far better than Vibram. Highly endorse.

I love the XTER - living in the Pacific NW, we get our fair share of wet days - for hiking, walking the dogs and trail running these shoes will rock! I can’t get them out and really get them muddy! I know if I get to some snow or ice, I’ll be fine while others will be slipping and sliding!

Love the softness of these shoes - a little different than other VJ models. Their grip is, of course, still the best. Great trail shoe to have in your rotation!

The new socks are awesome!!! Fit great feel great!!

I run all distances on different terrain and these shoes have not let me down! Even in a recent trail 100k (including technical trails, slippery downhills, rocks, forest roads and pavement!) my feet stayed super comfortable :). I love them and definitely recommend.

Ps I ordered 1/2 size down and they fit perfectly
