Who was behind the sizing of this model? UPS? With all these returns?
I am a size 10 in 95% of footwear, from all different brands. Sized down to 9.5 based on the reviews, and the shoe was too small. Returned for a size 10, and the shoe was way too long (banana foot). Who was behind the sizing of this shoe?!
The VJ Sparks are a great shoe to feel comfortable and confident on any trail!
Ultra 3 is hands-down my new favorite trail shoe I’ve ever worn. As always, the grip is insane—especially on slick, uneven terrain—and the added cushioning makes a huge difference over long distances. I love the roomier toe box and the locked-in heel fit. Plus, this limited edition green color is 🔥. Light, durable, and built for performance—VJ nailed it with this one. Highly recommend!
Their comfiest model yet! I have tried nearly all the VJ shoes in the last 4 years and this one is one of the best for overall training miles, whether on the treadmill, road or trail. These have a generous toe box which I appreciate very much and are super light. Love the neutral colorway in tan or black. Overall a great and very versatile shoe, two thumbs up.
I was skeptical at first when I heard about the shoe being versatile for any terrain so I put it to the test right away. I brought it to a technical trail in Colorado because I wanted to make sure I got the same stickiness as I would with the Ultras and it passed. Then I wore them on the treadmill to see how they would respond to a firmer terrain and they were comfortable. Overall, they exceeded expectations and the fact that they have the wide toe box really helps keep space for the toes when running longer. Highly recommend!
