Product description
One of the most popular VJ shoes gets an update! The new Ultra 2 offers more protection, more stability and more durability thanks to the new sole pattern and rock plate.
If you are looking for a well-cushioned trail shoe, but are not willing to compromise on weight or responsiveness, the VJ Ultra 2 is for you. Developed with input from elite runners, the VJ Ultra 2 is outstanding for longer distances, as the name implies. It is also an excellent choice for shorter distances when you want a little extra cushioning and comfort. To ensure exceptional grip, the Superior Contact outsole is made of VJ’s own famous butyl rubber. The last is a medium +, which is suitable for most runners. The added toe space gives you some extra balance and comfort.
As a new added feature to battle the unpredictable and rough terrain, the shoe now includes a rock plate which protects the foot from sharp rocks and sticks and makes the shoe torsionally rigid. Durable and breathable upper is a mix of aramid fibers and nylon. It excels in the toughest of terrains and endures all conditions. VJ's innovative Fitlock-system offers an optimal fit for the shoe by locking the foot from the arch. It also protects the arch from the impacts the foot is facing while running.

Best trail shoe ever tried!
| Overall rating |
— Show originalWell satisfied, fits wide feet, good grip especially on mountains and rocks| Overall rating |
— Show originalThe shoe has a slightly narrow sole, I hope they produce ultra shoes with a wide sole, which are also poorly cushioned for long distances. However the best grip in the world!!| Overall rating |
— Show originalSize a little small. Very good stability and excellent grip| Overall rating |
— Show originalThrowing in the best grip compared to other trail running shoes I've run in. A very stable shoe with good protection properties, and for example stones that remain under the foot are not unpleasantly felt. The features that make Ultra 2 very good for technical trails make them a bit heavier and feel hard when running on the road compared to Salomon Ultra Glide 2 or Saucony Peregrine 13, but really good on trails.| Overall rating |
— Show originalInteresting in the forest. But the hard ones hold well. Easy. They are quite wide in the front. That's an advantage. The sneaker adapts well when running uphill and downhill. Then they don't print at all.

— Show originalHolds well on dry rock. Also suitable for trail running and orienteering. Usual VJ quality.| Overall rating |
— Show originalThe plus is the general sturdy nature and really good grip. Very good protection for the toes and the base is sturdy enough that sharp stones don't get in the way.
The downside was that this was a bit too wide for me in the front and the toes get chafed. Similarly, with the front straps, you have to be careful that they don't rub against the foot.| Overall rating |
— Show originalGood damping. The shoe was initially quite stiff/hard for my foot, it took some breaking in, but after that it was very comfortable to run.Brand
