VJ trail shoes just keep getting better!!
I am a heavier runner and these have enough cushion and return for me to not accumulate fatigue through too much impact link longer trail races. Thank you VJ!!

So far so good! Confortable right out of the box. Thanks

These are the best trail running socks around! Love the VJ design, too.

I've held out on maximum cushion shoes and now I don't know why. The Ultra 3s are PERFECT for my long runs, and have kept my feet comfortable during multiple 10+ hour OCR 50ks, wet, muddy, and all. I did have to go up a half size, despite the nice wider toe box, I wear an 8 in the Maxx2 but an 8.5 Ultra3 is most comfortable for me.

Love these socks!!! So happy!

I have hiked 66 miles of Adirondack trail in them over the past 3 weeks and absolutely love them. So much toe box room and comfortable for long miles.

Perfect amount of cush and the grip I’ve come to value ima VJ This latest version of the ultra has highest level rating for me…super grippy sticky on technical trail and comfy on longer runs too. Best trail running shoe ever.

I was torn between these and the Lightspeeds and so I reached out to VJ and they recommended these for my stated purpose. Excellent advice. I am impressed with the build of this shoe. Heavy duty materials where they're needed to protect the foot on the trail, lightweight elsewhere. These are the lightest shoes I own (8.8 ounces, M-9) and yet somehow they feel substantial at the same time. Great ground feel, support and adequate cushioning. VJ's size advice is spot on. I typically wear a M-9.5 but sized down 0.5 and the fit is perfect. I bought mostly for the grip. I have a trail race coming up with a significant section of stone stairs and I am really concerned about slippage as I've run them before and they are somewhat technical, especially if wet. I have 100% confidence in the MAXx2 on this stretch. I've been running trails and gravel in Hoka Challenger ATR 7s...a very nice shoe. These are better in every way. Glad I took the plunge and bought them sight unseen.

These shoes are so comfortable and cute!! I will definitely be using them a lot for walking my dogs, easy runs around my neighborhood park which is a mix of grass, gravel, and road, and basic trail runs! They are super light and comfortable!

I have so many VJ that I will use some of my others for more technical terrain and racing but these ones will be worn a lot! I will even wear them for just going out since they are comfortable and stylish but also grippy!

Nice roomy toe box, comfy, cushiony, and drain water/dry better than previous models too! As always, can’t beat the #bestgripontheplanet! Excellent shoes for the slickery Adirondack mountains terrain!

This was my first VJ Shoe purchase. I bought it on closeout so no returns, but it was a risk I was willing to take because the price was right. Sizing is a bit off, even using VJ's sizing tool. Not terrible, but not right either. It's long and narrow or at least that's how it seems to me. Suspect I could have gone down a half size. That said, if I wear heavy socks the fit is reasonably okay. Not good enough for the Grand Canyon, but okay for day hikes and everyday wear. The shoe itself is delightful. It's very comfortable in a way a lot of similar shoes from other companies are not. The grip is amazing...everything VJ promised it would be. I like the feel of it on my feet. Literally zero break in required. Time will tell, but upper seems very rugged and durable. Overall, very pleased...enough so that I just bought a pair of MAXx2s for trail racing. Kudos, VJ.

This shoe effortlessly took me through a Spartan Trifecta weekend on a mountain with around 8,600 feet of elevation gain. The rocky, muddy, slippery and loose mountainous terrain was no match for the amount of confidence inspiring grip these IROCK+ brings to the table. The fitlock system locked my feet in perfectly which really helped give feedback on obstacles requiring precise foot placement. The upper was breathable and extremely durable against rocks and other trail debris. Toe box was plenty roomy and even with full sprint on steep descents, I never had any jamming or discomfort. I HIGHLY recommend these shoes for anyone looking to do any running/walking/hiking on any sort of rugged terrain not to mention their stellar performance in an OCR environment. VJ really killed it these!

The new iteration of the iRock is a step up from the original! It has the same great grip as the original, but with even more comfort and more room for your toes/feet if you like the extra space like I do. I highly recommend to check out the new iRock +, you won’t regret it!

I’ve worn these shoes on several occasions over 20 miles. I’ve got several other vj brands and I’ve loved this one the best for longer distance. Has a good amount of cushion while not rolling ankles.

A great ultra shoe that I used for my 100k on mildly technical single track. Good cushioning, grip, and nimbleness.
