"As someone who jumps at the opportunity to test any VJ running shoe, I found that the VJ iRock+ ($175) proved to offer amazing versatility as it triples as a trusted trail running, obstacle course, and orienteering shoe. It feels at home on softer ground where its aggressiveness shines, but it also withstands the challenges of anything from mixed mountain terrain to summer snow running."
"It runs relatively light for an armored shoe with an actual weight of 8.3 ounces (236 grams) for a U.S. men's 9. Interestingly, the technical specifications report 33- and 27-millimeter heel and forefoot stack heights for a 6-millimeter drop. Since I am a low-stack and low-drop runner, these numbers immediately threw me. I got out my metric ruler, and I can report that these stack numbers include the 5.5-millimeter lugs."
VJ iRock+ ($175) functions as a versatile trail running, obstacle course, and orienteering shoe that excels on softer ground and handles mixed mountain terrain and snow. The shoe sits on a wider last with a pared-down outsole and aggressive butyl rubber lugs that provide cleat-like grip. The updated upper adds protection for long runs without excessive weight, and the low-slung 6-millimeter drop with rocker maintains natural running mechanics and smooth surface transitions. Offered in unisex sizing, the iRock+ weighs 8.3 ounces (236 g) for a U.S. men's 9; recommended sizing is a half size up. The reported stack heights include lug height.
