VJ XTRM OCR Shoes - Trail Running Shoes Women and Mens with a Full Length Rock Plate - Made for Rocky and Technical Mountain Trails and Obstacle Course Races

Absolutely love these! I have had several others brands from Reebok, Salomon, and hoka but these are superior in fit, comfort, durability, and clean up. Running up and down mountains and trails in AZ has a variety of terrain and these never slip and my feet feel like brand new afterwards even on the rockiest terrain. I don't get anything from this review just sharing my personal opinion and hope it helps.

Great shoes with incredible grip. Excellent for rocky terrain as you wont feel pebbles and debris underfoot. They run a bit snug so def order at least a half size up

I ordered a 1/2 size larger, so they really fit as I expected. However, I marked them as fitting slightly small, so people would know to order a 1/2 size big.These are great fitting shoes. I have a new pair of Nike Pegasus 36 Trail Runner’s, and I have included a photo of the 2 shoes compared.First impression is a great fit, but not a lot of cushion. I’m sure I’ll feel every rock. I appreciate that. I’ll be doing some trails in Colorado this summer, so I’ll want to feel where my feet are.I can’t wait to get on the trails with these!I saw the post about the 2 loose strings. Both of my shoes have the same, so it must be intentional.

I first ordered these shoes in a 12 and since they were available through prime I received them in 2 days but as other reviews have stated, these shoes run small. I was able to return them without any trouble at a nearby Kohl’s quickly and for free. I then ordered a 12.5 but it wasn’t available through prime so it took a while to get here only to find out the 12.5 was too small as well. These shoes are made for those individuals with NARROW feet. I’ve heard they make them in wide but since you can’t find them they may as well not exist. Having to pay shipping to return these doesn’t make me feel all warm and cozy either. I also found the random thick black string dangling in the shoe as was pictured in another review (not sure what that was about).In conclusion, the build quality of these shoes “seems” solid upon inspection of the materials but if they won’t fit it makes little difference. These are narrow shoes that display sizing that is a 1/2 size small and should be fixed in the product lineup. I ended up buying the Topo Terraventure 2 which I purchased at a nearby REI since all of this waiting on shoes to fit put me too close to the Spartan Race for which I was buying them. The wider toe box on the Topo’s fit perfectly, it feels comfortable and durable, THE SIZING WAS CORRECT, and it didn’t cost me any money out of pocket to ship them back.

Shoe was as expected. The rock plate can be a little stiff if you arent used to it. Wouldn't reccomend for super long distances without some sort of insert.

Using these shoes in Northern CA for running in the snow. They are great because my other running shoes fill up with small rocks and slip in the snow. These have nice wide cleats that do not collect rocks and provide excellent traction on the trail. I would say they are about a 1/2 size smaller than my other running shoes but for me that was not an issue. If you are on the fence on sizing I would go up half a size.

Very narrow shoe. But great grip! The return It’s not free you’ll have to pay for it.the refund will take a while.

Very comfortable, light, with incredible grip. No blisters or hot spots. Highly recommend.

Excellent grip, lightweight, lost a star because even though this is the wider fit model of the VJ range it pinches slightly on the little toe , would try half a size up if ordered again

Top Traillaufschuh! Bin sehr zufrieden. Bis jetzt ca 150km gelaufen und keine Abnützungserscheinungen! Fällt aber etwas kleiner aus! Also empfehle ich mindestens eine Nummer größer zu bestellen!
