A bit stiff the shoes, not for long distance trails, as people usually says on reviews, a good trail shoe for 10km

Absolutely the best trail shoe I've found. A comfortably wide last, an incredibly grippy sole and a durable upper fabric, which both the shoe and the wearer survive intact in any rocky terrain. Now on to the second pair of slippers, the first ones were used until the soles were worn smooth. The only small minus is the sole of the shoe, which is not attached to the edges. Because of this, debris gets into the shoe more easily than usual, even with gaiters, especially on sand or rough forest terrain. You have to remember to clean your shoes regularly so that debris does not damage your feet.

First time impression are great. Wore these for an OCR race straight out of the box. First 2km felt tight, but then wore in. No blisters. Excellent water drainage. Easy to wash after the race. Very happy so far

The best ultra shoe for technical terrain. Some people complain that the heel rises, but I think it's a design feature of the very protective stiff sole, so that the run is rolling. Karhunkierros and Ylläs-Pallas 100km went with these without any foot problems. Fit and feel very good. The VJ Ultra is softer on the flat, but much better on trails, especially with a little weight on the neck.
