Size chart VJ
- Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall.
- Make sure you wear the same socks you would normally wear with these types of shoes.
- Wearing these socks, stand on the sheet of paper with your foot perpendicular to the wall and your heel against the wall.
- Then ask your friend to draw a line just in front of the longest point of your foot. Repeat this for both feet and choose the longest distance to determine your measurement.
- Use a ruler and measure the distance between the wall and the line you've drawn to find your size. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Versatility, performance and comfort
The VJ MAXx2 is a versatile, well-cushioned and fast trail running shoe for varied terrain.
This shoe features our new SuperFOAMance midsole, made with a high-tech, ultralight nitrogen-infused material that provides extreme cushioning and energy return. This modern, supercritical foam is lighter, more responsive, more comfortable, and more powerful than traditional EVA foam. Compared to other foams, SuperFOAMance is more durable and less likely to tear.
The midsole is finished with a full-length rock plate that protects the runner's feet from sharp edges and protruding branches. The rock plate also makes the shoe torsionally stiff and increases energy efficiency.
The MAXx2 features VJ's renowned Superior Contact outsole, made from our proprietary butyl rubber compound, which provides superior grip on any terrain.
The upper is lightweight, breathable, and durable, made from a single piece. The last is contoured to the foot, which, together with the upper, ensures maximum comfort and performance.
VJ's innovative Fitlock system ensures an optimal fit by securing the foot from the arch. It also provides additional protection by cushioning the arch from impact while running.
