About Us - VJ Shoes North America

VJ shoes were born in the dense forests of central Finland over 40 years ago from a need for a better shoe for the rough and slippery terrain. Making shoes for Orienteering and other extreme athletes, VJ proved themselves with exceptional durability, superior grip, and high quality.

Today, VJ shoes continue those standards with cutting-edge technology, the latest materials and uncompromising values to produce shoes with outstanding grip and durability.

VJ SHOES NORTH AMERICA

In North America, trail running and obstacle course racing are our passions, but finding the perfect shoe was a frustrating challenge.

We spent too much time and money searching for footwear that promised grip, fit, and durability, only to be let down. There had to be a better option – a shoe designed by people who truly understood what we needed.

That’s when we discovered VJ Shoes. Engineered and proven to be the best in the world, trusted by top athletes for their reliability. However, these shoes weren't available in North America – so we took action.

In January 2019, we launched VJ here, bringing race-proven performance to athletes who demand the best for wins, podiums, PRs, FKTs, and everything in between.

Built for champions, trusted by pros, and now available for you!

VJ Shoes are the most advanced running shoes for extreme conditions—crafted to enhance performance, deliver exceptional grip in any environment, and help you move faster across challenging terrain.

It's all about uncompromising performance and expertly designed footwear built to last. That’s why the world’s top athletes and adventurers choose VJ Shoes.
