Great shoe. I went down a 1/2 size from my normal shoe size. The grip is awesome and the midsole was excellent for about 90 miles. The midsole felt flat and did not filter out sharp rocks at about 90 miles. I think if VJ designed an insole like Inov 8 boomerang insole it would make these shoes a 5 star for me. Overall I love the shoe and will probably buy another pair .
Grippy as always. Very comfortable. Great long distance shoe with a pop for speed if needed. My only complaint is that it holds water/sweat. My solution is to drill some holes in the bottom which I have done for all my VJ purchases and it drains well after that. Will buy again
I LOVE all my VJ's but these were an expected find. A bit more rugged for hiking and more durable, very comfortable right out of the box and VERY grippy. I like how they come up a little higher than the Maxx2. So far my favorite VJ.
I've been using this for mountain runs, hikes and longer distance Spartan obstacle course races. Love the fit and cushion for this middle-aged runner, best all-around setup for me after trying all the major brands' max cushion trail shoes. I've put them through quite a bit of abuse and so far they've held up well. Highly recommend.
