Sounds like a great buy! How many miles did you get in them before you started to feel foot fatigue? Think it’s good for distances up to 20 miles or is it ideal for shorter distances?
The foot fatigue was more due to feeling the rocks underfoot. For me, I started to feel it after 8 to 10 miles but depending on the trail, that "fatigue" from being over stimulated may never happen, particularly on less technical and more groomed trails. All that said, I personally wouldn't hesitate to do a 20 mile run in these, especially if you're looking for a shoe that allows your foot to move around more naturally.
Thank you for the review. If you have tried them, how would you compare with the Inov8 Trailfly Ultra 270 v2 or the Scarpa Spin 2.0? I like a nice flexible, low to the ground shoe for my long distance runs and ultras, and have many, many miles in the Trailfly. Wondering if I should try something else? :)
I haven't tried the INOV8 270v2's or Scarpa Spin 2.0. They look to be similar thought. I have a friend who ran many ultras, even Big Horn 100 in the 270's. Sounds like I need to reach out to those companies for some shoes to review ;-) Thanks for checking out the video!
That's a solid question! So far I would say the VJ MAXx2, Salomon Genesis, and Topo MTN Racer 3. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed the Mammut Saentis TR. I like each of them for different reasons... The VJ is simply a fun and fast shoe to run in, the Salomon is a solid and reliable do it all trail shoe, and the Topo is comfortable and what I would want on my feet during an all day (and night) endeavor. I should be getting the Hoka Speedgoat 6 and Brooks Catamount 3 so looking forward to seeing how those fare on the trails too.

Hi Chad, what would you consider to be your top 3 trail shoes of 2024 so far?
