They are great to run in—lightweight with good cushioning. The grip on wet rocks is indeed excellent. Drainage (for swimrun) was highlighted as a weak point in earlier reviews, but I haven't had any real issues with it; in any case, water doesn't stay in the shoe for an annoyingly long time. I had considered adding extra drainage holes when I first bought them, but after testing them out, it turns out that isn't necessary. Very happy with the shoes!

An excellent shoe in every respect. The grip is truly incredible. It even works for light rock climbing—such as on via ferrata routes—instead of approach shoes! A cosmetic downside is that the upper practically attracts dirt and rubber scuff marks. It is probably worth treating them with a suitable protective spray if the shoe's appearance matters to you. The sizing is indeed on the generous side; I found a size 0.5 to 1 smaller than usual to be the right fit.

They arrived exactly one week in perfect condition. I ordered one size smaller than other brands, and they fit me perfectly. The shoe feels rather flat compared to my previous running shoes, but I imagine that's because they're more technical.

Fits my flat feet just right thanks to the wider last and is a very good shoe for different surfaces. The downside is that the laces tend to come loose easily, but if you take a little more time to tie them, that's not a problem either.

Very good grip on snowy trails. Good running feel.

Great grip.

Best grip and feel, but it only lasted a few hundred kilometers before the soles got really bad

VJ Maxx 2: I wear size 46 in Salomon and La Sportiva, size 45 in the Decathlon Kiprun, which corresponds to a size 44.5 in the VJ Maxx. It's true, they have a monstrous grip, a comfortable shoe, a roomy fit, and an excellent midsole. Cons: The material around the ankle tends to be abrasive on the skin, even with socks. I'm resolving this by applying grease to the inside edge of the shoe. It's not very draining: small holes need to be made to drain water because it tends to stay inside. I imagine it won't be very breathable in the heat. In any case, it's a truly excellent shoe for racing.

Good grip and fit to your foot. Agile shoe and usable for many long journeys.
