VJ Shoes Ultra 3 Multi Tester Review: Brilliant! 7 Comparisons

Article by Jen Schmidt, Dom Layfield, and Jeff Valliere

VJ Ultra 3 ($190)

Introduction

Dom:  I’d never previously run in any VJ shoes, but for years I’ve heard stories of this Finnish brand that had near magically grippy Butyl outsole rubber.  Then in recent months, I’ve heard that their new shoe, the Ultra 3, is a legitimate contender for ultramarathon racing.  Consequently, I was super excited at the opportunity to test this shoe.

Pros:

Lots of cushioning for the weight. [Dom, Jen, Jeff V]

Outstanding outsole grip. [Dom, Jen, Jeff V]

Upper provides excellent foothold and comfort. [Dom, Jeff V]

Nice bouncy ride.  [Dom, Jen, Jeff V]

First Impressions, Fit and Upper

Jeff: I have run in both previous versions of the Ultra and have loved them, with each being at the very top of my rotation for fast, light, fun, all mountain performance trail shoes.  

The Ultra 3 builds on that performance with a new more streamlined upper that is lighter weight and has a wider, more foot shaped toe box, as well as a new performance foam midsole with 4mm more stack in the heel and 2mm more in the forefoot (now 8mm drop vs. 6mm before).  The Ultra 3 also features a new full coverage outsole.  

All of this at a lighter weight by several grams.  Out of the box I am struck by the Green Limited Edition colorway (more yellow than green), as they are really racy and sharp looking.  It is obvious that the Ultra has gone through a transformation.  Stepping into them, I am already impressed, as they feel very light, comfortable and secure.

Fit for me is true to size in my normal US men’s size 10, with a secure heel and an exceptionally secure midfoot utilizing the Fitlock wrap.  While I have a narrow, low volume foot, I find the overall fit of the shoe to be very secure and have no trouble running fast on steep, technical terrain, with very little to any movement.

The biggest story here is the wider more foot shaped toe box, which is almost Topo-esque, but I think VJ may have struck the best balance I have found between roomy forefoot and locked in security.

The upper is light, flexible and breathable. Having run in temperatures close to 90, my feet have remained cool. The toe bumper is moderate and flexible, but provides ample protection.

The “crinkle cut” laces are a nice improvement and while I had no trouble with the previous laces, these are much better.

The heel counter is semi flexible (not at all stiff or molded) and for me is just the perfect height.

The gusseted tongue is quite thin, but with plenty of protection from the laces and lays easily flat and comfortable over the top of the foot.

Padding around the heel collar is moderate, yet more than ample.  It has a hydrophobic feel to it and is in line with the remainder of the upper, which really has no “clothy” materials that would sop up water, which means they dry out quite quickly after getting them wet.

Dom: Out of the box, I was struck by two things: firstly, this is a very nice-looking shoe, with a clean, distinctive, but not flashy colorway; secondly, it has exactly the kind of toebox that I like, and wish more shoes had, with plenty of room on the medial side to allow your big toe to straighten out.  Hooray!  The positive experience continued on my first run.  This shoe fits like a glove, and is bouncy, smooth, stable, secure.  Within a few paces, I was sold.

Dom: The upper is one of the best I’ve tested, and feels very durable.  There are no superfluous elements, with everything carefully thought out and purposeful.  The primary fabric is a multi-zone mesh with a full-perimeter rand protecting the vulnerable sole seam.  There are overlays reinforcing the eyelets (eyestay) and a sling around the heel.  

Interestingly, the midfoot is reinforced only on the medial side, with a substantial overlay labeled ‘FITLOCK’ connecting the sole to the laces.  On the opposite (lateral) side, there is also reinforcement, but it is hidden as an underlay on the inside of the shoe.  I’m not sure why VJ opted for this asymmetry, but it’s hard to argue with the experience of running in the shoe: midfoot hold is impeccable.

The mesh density is nicely judged, like everything else with this shoe. Dust ingress is good, breathability is good, and so is drainage: the fabric doesn’t retain water and dries quickly.

Dom: The fit of the shoe is really good.  It’s possible other reviewers will be less positive, but the VJ Ultra 3 fits my foot pretty much perfectly.  If you have a super wide foot, you might want more room, and conversely if you’re very narrow-footed, the Ultra 3 might feel too roomy, but I think VJ nailed it here. The Ultra 3 manages to be both comfortable and secure, and even on steep descents I was not sliding forward in the shoe.  Add in the anatomically-shaped toebox, and the Ultra 3 promises to be highly toenail-friendly.  This may sound like a strange accolade, but this is a huge plus for runners who find that long races cause a lot of damage to their toenails.

Jen: I’d heard very positive reviews of other versions of the VJ Ultra, particularly for the grip, but wasn’t sure what to expect. The only VJ shoe I’d tried previously was the Flow, their gravel/lifestyle shoe, which was a solid shoe but for a different use case than the majority of my trail shoe needs. 

Out of the box, the Ultra 3 comes across as the serious workhorse of the VJ lineup, a grippier, higher-stack, and more capable counterpart to the Flow. This version sports a new SuperFOAMance midsole that promises to be softer and bouncier than v2. The attractive colorway combined with aggressive outsole and substantial cushion piqued my interest.

I found the fit to be generous on my low-volume foot, but true to size as far as length. 

The upper is a very sturdy-feeling one-piece woven upper, reinforced on the medial side of the arch with the VJ Footlock system. My foot is a little too narrow for the upper to really lock down across the midfoot, but the upper feels quite durable and seems like it would be very stable while still allowing room for toe splay on a wider foot.

Midsole & Platform

Dom: As far as I can tell, VJ uses only a single kind of foam in the midsole, labelled ‘SuperFOAMance’.  The foam is a supercritical nitrogen EVA/TPU blend. This is good stuff, and feels bouncy and energetic.  There is a color change between the upper (pale blue) and lower (white) midsole, but this looks just to be cosmetic.  I couldn’t feel any difference in stiffness or resilience between layers.  Nominal stack height of the shoe is 37 mm in the heel and 29 mm in the forefoot, with a healthy amount of rocker that helps the shoe roll nicely forward.  If there is any weak point to the Ultra 3, my personal feeling is that the back end is overbuilt.  When stressed – e.g. by thundering downhill – the heel felt a little too high, mushy and slightly unstable.  Decreasing the heel stack by a few millimeters would likely firm this up and improve stability, not to mention shaving precious grams.  If I’m nit-picking here, it’s only because the Ultra 3 is otherwise so excellent.

Jen: As Dom said, the SuperFOAMance foam provides surprisingly good energy return, and there’s a lot of it. That said, the Ultra 3 is far from squishy. Even with a cushioned midsole, the high torsional rigidity of the shoe means that it doesn’t flex much around rocks underfoot, making the ride feel firmer than the stack height would suggest. The 37 mm stack height seems high on paper, but never felt like too much once I was running in it. For comparison, the Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra is listed at only a millimeter more stack, but feels much tippier to me.

Jeff V:  

The upgrade in foam to the SuperFOAMance (as also used in the MaXX 2) and increased stack is noticeable, bumping version 3 into the realm of truly long distance running and more in line with the name “Ultra”. I have found the previous versions not to be Ultra shoes, but instead shorter to mid distance shoes.  

The foam is quite light, responsive and bouncy, combined with a nice rockered design, really helps propel the shoe forward.  I find the ride to be particularly lively and fun, with a well cushioned feel and good support.

When running fast on moderately technical trails, dirt roads or easy singletrack, I have no issues whatsoever with stability or control.  I also find them to be great in technical terrain at more moderate paces and with a bit of care.  The only real limitation that I have found with the Ultra 3 is when pushing hard in rocky, technical terrain (ie fast rock garden or rocky rooty descents), I do find them to feel a little unstable due to the taller stack and relatively narrow platform.

The SuperFOAMance foam has held up well for me in the Maxx2 with minimal compression (or at least not that I can discern), so I expect the same from the Ultra 3.

Outsole

Dom: I’d heard that VJ outsole rubber was exceptional, and I wasn’t disappointed.  This is amazing stuff, eclipsing anything I’ve tested previously.  Not only is it very grippy in all the (admittedly limited) conditions I encountered, but also – and perhaps this is the most surprising aspect – durability also seems really good.  Traditional wisdom has been that rubber performance is a trade-off between stickiness and durability, so a formulation that excels in both is some modern-day alchemy.  At the time of writing, I’ve only put about fifty miles (80 km) on my test pair, but so far outsole wear is minimal.  And reports from other runners who have used them more are very positive.

Jen: The outsole here lived up to my high expectations. The chevron-shaped 4 mm lugs were more than capable of handling anything I threw at it: wet singletrack with stream crossings, steep gravelly hills, or dusty mountain trails. I didn’t take it on seriously technical terrain, but I’d place it on par with Vibram outsoles, and I was struck by how good the traction was in wet conditions and on steep slopes with loose sand and gravel. As Dom points out, there are no signs of wear after 60 miles on my pair, which is a great sign.  

Jeff V:  VJ’s claim of “best grip on the planet” is certainly true and the Ultra 3 still manages to improve upon this over the Ultra 2, now featuring a full coverage outsole with more lugs and lugs that are slightly more sharp and angular.  

While only 4mm, they are very effective and aggressive and I have not yet felt limited on any terrain by that moderate depth.  

While I had no traction concerns for either the first or second versions of the Ultra, the new Ultra 3 outsole is a definite improvement, adding to the already amazing traction as well as providing more protection underfoot as now we have that full coverage as shown below comparing to the Ultra 2.

In the photo above, you can see the Ultra 2 on the bottom and how much exposed foam is present, where you see none of that in the 3.  Having that full coverage definitely makes a difference on steep, loose terrain, in the snow and in wet conditions.

Speaking of wet conditions, we have been blessed with copious amounts of rain this Spring and I have tested wet traction to the fullest and am continually in awe at how well they hold in the wet, even when pushing the limits of steep wet rock, creek crossings or even moderate mud.

Ride

Dom: To be clear, the VJ Ultra is a highly-cushioned, protective shoe intended to go long distances.  The shoe is comfortable and versatile, so can be used for almost any kind of run, but it provides more protection than most runners need for training: personally, I prefer a lighter, more flexible shoe for daily runs.  I would switch to the VJ Ultra 3 for long runs and races.

Dom:  The VJ Ultra 3 rolls really nicely on smooth ground, making good use of its bouncy foam and significant rocker.  However this is no one-trick pony: on technical terrain, the shoe is also stable and surefooted.  Some trail super shoes are fast on the smooth, but get a little spicy when challenged.  The VJ is much more forgiving, a shoe that I would continue to trust late in an ultra when my legs are tired and slower to react.

Dom: The only weak point of this shoe for me is that the heel stack feels a little too high.  Whereas the forefoot is ‘just right’, the back end feels a little mushy and soft, and slightly unstable when pushed hard, for example when descending at high speed.

Jen: Given how structured the Ultra 3 is, I was surprised how smooth the ride felt on gravel and gentle trails. I wanted to love it on technical sections, but my narrow midfoot meant the fit wasn’t dialed enough to provide the lateral stability I needed. A little side-to-side slippage combined with the lack of flexibility to increase the chances of an ankle roll, and I didn’t feel that I could entirely trust it to send a technical downhill at full speed. That said, it might be absolutely perfect for a moderate to wide foot. I found myself reaching for the Ultra 3 on easy days and long runs over light to moderate terrain, where the cushion and energy return really shine. The 8 mm offset favored a natural stride without feeling unnaturally propulsive.

Jeff V:  I find the ride to be smooth, fast, bouncy and responsive, with a quick transition. The Ultra 3 is well adapted for a wide range of terrain, paces or distance.  The rockered design certainly contributes to the ease of forward motion, along with the light feeling and engaging SuperFOAMance midsole.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Dom:  This is a brilliant shoe.  True to its name, this shoe is built to cover long distances over rugged terrain, and succeeds admirably.  Comfort is stellar.  Foothold is stellar.  Grip is stellar.  Cushioning is excellent, striking a great balance between protection, stability, and ground feel.  Weight (at around 10 oz, 280 g) is competitive, and pricing ($190, €189) seems reasonable.  Early indications are that durability will also be solid.

Dom: The only weak point, in my opinion, is that the heel felt higher than necessary, feeling a little mushy and slightly unstable when stressed.  Dropping the midsole thickness at the back of the shoe would firm things up and make the shoe near perfect.

Dom: Is this currently the best ultra distance shoe out there?  Arguably.  It’s not as sexy as exotica like the Norda 005, but then neither is it as astronomically priced.  It’s not as fast as carbon plated racers like the Adidas Agravic Speed Ultra, but neither does it require ferocious concentration to stay on your feet in technical terrain.  The VJ Ultra 3 can go any distance on any terrain, and perform outstandingly.  

Dom’s Score: 9.5 /10

Ride 9/10  Almost perfect. Fast, smooth, stable.  A little less heel height would make this a 10.

Fit 10/10  Great toebox, great foothold, great comfort.  Though I’ve yet to race in these.

Protection 9/10  Plenty for long training runs.  I just have a slight concern that I might want more under the forefoot after 80+ miles.

Traction 10/10  As good as it gets.

Value 8/10  Not cheap, but competitively-priced compared to the competition.

Overall: 😊😊😊😊😊 A winner.

Jen: The Ultra 3 impressed me, and if I had a slightly wider foot, I would have been fully converted. While I wouldn’t race a technical course in it given the lateral stability I mentioned previously, I loved this shoe for long training runs and trail workouts. The combination of high-performing cushion and grip is rare, and the Ultra 3 offers a fantastic alternative to the carbon-plated trend. I would recommend it without hesitation to moderate-to-wider-footed trail runners, especially for 50k and up, and with only a little more caution for lower-volume feet.

Jen’s Score: 8.7/10

Ride: 8.2/10 - if only I could lock down the midfoot a little more, it would have earned full marks on all types of trails, but as is, a small detraction for technical trails

Fit: 8.5/10 - very comfortable, just need it a tad narrower personally

Protection: 10/10

Traction: 10/10

Value: 8.5/10

Overall: 😊😊😊😊 ½

Jeff V:  

The Ultra 3 is a HUGE improvement to an already great shoe, with the new and effective lightweight breathable water shucking upper, more generous forefoot, new lighter more performative midsole and improved outsole, it is a complete overhaul.  

The Ultra 3 is fast, fun and responsive, performing amazingly well on a wide variety of terrain and now has enough cushion to live up to the name, especially now with the wider toebox.  I appreciate the extra bump in midsole stack for long distance comfort and rolling out the miles on more moderate to less technical terrain, though my only minor nitpick is that the taller stack in the heel can make them feel a little unstable when pushing the pace in technical terrain.  I will note however, that they do still perform reasonably well for short periods of technical terrain with some added caution, as they are overall nimble, agile and sure footed.  

The overall performance for the weight makes the Ultra 3 very well suited to racing on just about any terrain over most distances (perhaps not 100 miles for me, but I honestly have never run more than 50 miles, so will leave that determination to my colleagues who regularly run 100’s).  

For me, I find the sweet spot for the Ultra 3 to be fast training (or racing) miles on moderate mountainous trails, less technical trails and if the trail turns technical, I have very little reservation there either with a bit of care.  The Ultra 3 for me is in the running for the top shoe of the year and is certainly one of my favorites thus far.  If I am not actively reviewing a newer shoe, I will almost always reach for the Ultra 3.

Jeff V’s Score:  9.8/10

Ride: 9.5/10 - Smooth, fast, fun and well cushioned

Fit: 10/10 - even for my low volume foot, I appreciate the added room in the toe box and have no fit or security issues

Value: 9.5 - $190 is not cheap, but you are getting so much performance and fun

Style: 9.5 - both colorways look great, but the yellow/green really pops

Traction: 10 

Rock Protection: 9.5

😊😊😊😊😊

7 Comparisons

Jeff V: The Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 have been favorites of mine over the past few years, but always found the Ultra moniker to be a bit misleading, as neither felt adequate to really provide enough comfort, cushion and protection for longer distances.  

The Ultra 2 (left above) has a notably more tapered toe box when trying them on side by side, providing better foothold, but the wider toebox of the 3 is much more comfortable, especially for longer distances for which the 3 is now much more capable of with more cushioning as well.  

The 3 has a much more modern looking and performing upper, as well as the new, deeper cushioned SuperFOAMance midsole that is much more bouncy, lively and responsive than the previous midsole used in the 2 (which was still very good).  

Then of course the 3 has the improved full coverage outsole, that improves traction as well as protection (and I also get the sense that it might be more durable as the increased surface area of the additional lugs distributes the wear better)

VJ MaXX 2: (RTR Review)

Jeff V:  The MaXX 2 utilizes the same midsole foam, but less of it (31/25) and is a comparably light shoe with a modern upper and impeccable traction.  They are both very responsive and fast and very fun to run.  For longer distances over less technical terrain, I will pick the Ultra 3, but for pushing hard in technical terrain, the MaXX 2 is much more stable and competent.  MaXX2 sizing is tricky and runs large, where I wear a 9.5 vs. true to size in my normal size 10 in the Ultra 3.  The toebox of the MaXX2 is a little roomier than the Ultra 2, but not quite as roomy as the Ultra 3.

Hoka Speedgoat 6 (RTR Review)

Dom:  Both the Speedgoat and VJ are aimed at long-distance trail running.  Both are highly cushioned shoes (SG6 stack is nominally 40/35 mm; Ultra 3 is 37/29 mm) that clock in at very similar weights (SG6 281 g vs Ultra 3 286 g).  Both shoes are ‘traditionally constructed’ in the sense  they don’t incorporate carbon plates – although the VJ Ultra 3 does apparently have a plate, this is intended for protection more than propulsion.  

So… which to choose?  As a forefoot-striker, I prefer the lower drop (5 mm) of the Speedgoat over the higher drop (8 mm) of the VJ Ultra.  Conversely, I prefer the anatomically-shaped toebox of the VJ; the Speedgoat toebox is more symmetric and tapered.  Both shoes provide excellent foot retention (for my feet, at least – narrow-footed runners may find the VJ a little roomy).  Notably the SG6 is also available in a ‘wide’ version.  VJ has the edge in traction and outsole durability.  Ride of VJ is slightly bouncier and smoother-rolling.  SG6 wins on price, at least in the USA, at $155 MSRP vs $190 for VJ Ultra 3.

Jeff V:  Agreed with Dom, some valid pros and cons to each to consider.  I will add that I find the VJ to be more lively fun and quick feeling than the SG, but the SG is more stable in technical terrain with a wider platform and has a slightly firmer heel.

Salomon Genesis (RTR Review)

Dom:  While other reviewers were delighted by the Genesis, I wasn’t so impressed.  Salomon shoes are generally narrow fitting, but the Genesis is relatively roomy for a Salomon: the width didn’t annoy me.  What did was the imbalance between heel and forefoot cushioning.  The Genesis has plenty of heel cushioning at 30 mm nominal stack, but the 22 mm forefoot feels underprotected for long runs on rocky terrain, particularly if your gait leans towards toe-striking.  This is a shame, as the shoe is otherwise excellent.  

Genesis is slightly lighter at 276 g vs 286 g (9.7 oz vs 10.1 oz) in US M10.  Personally, I would opt for the extra protection of the VJ Ultra 3, and for its more anatomically-shaped toebox.

Jen - Better suited for narrower feet, the Genesis nonetheless doesn’t quite achieve the same impressive level of traction or energy return. The Genesis is lower-stack and feels equally cushioned but a little less bouncy, and its thicker upper doesn’t drain as well. My impression is that the Genesis also fits slightly longer, while the Ultra 3 is more true-to-size.

Jeff V:  I really like the Genesis, but the VJ feels much more like a race shoe, is more inspiring to go fast, is more lively and fun, has more cushion, better traction and a better fit.

La Sportiva Prodigio Pro (RTR Review)

Jen - Another non-plated but high-performing ultra-distance shoe, the Prodigio Pro is very similar in weight and stack height. The upper of the Prodigio Pro is significantly different with its bootie construction, but otherwise RTR testers found many of the same highlights for that shoe that we touched on here.

Jeff V:  Probably the closest comparison.  I think the only knock I have on the Prodigio Pro would be the thick upper, which can feel a bit warm, whereas the VJ upper is lighter, more breathable and drains easier.

Icebug Järv (RTR Review)

Jen - The Järv is another high-stack, well-cushioned but inflexible trail shoe made for rugged conditions. It’s evident that both brands place great emphasis on their outsoles, with correspondingly impressive results. The VJ Ultra 3 is more performance-oriented, with a smoother and snappier ride, though Icebug introduced sustainability features in the Järv that the Ultra 3 doesn’t quite match. 

Topo Athletic MTN Racer 4 (RTR Review)

Dom: The MTN Racer 4 nominal stack (33/28 mm) is close to VJ Ultra (37/29 mm), but with a little less heel.  (Although MikeP measured his sample pair of MTN Racer 4 at 37/33 mm).  Both shoes have ‘anatomical’ foot shape.  MTN Racer 4 is heavier at 320 g vs 286 g, but cheaper at $155 vs $190 USD.

Jeff V:  I will also note that the Topo is not nearly as quick and agile, somewhat to do with the weight, with the VJ is much more agile, responsive and has better foothold.  The Topo is perhaps a bit more friendly for more casual running and hiking.
