VJ Speedhiker – a fusion of a trail running and hiking shoe
The VJ Speedhiker is a versatile and athletic speedhiking shoe, perfectly suited for both day hikes in the forest and faster-paced treks in more demanding conditions. Furthermore, thanks to its thoughtful design and the sole’s rock plate, the Speedhiker provides excellent stability and protection, making it ideal even for longer distances in rocky and technical terrain.
Moreover, the VJ Speedhiker is built on the VJ Ultra 2’s foot-shaped last and sole. This means that, in addition to offering the best grip on the planet, it also delivers the familiar cushioning, responsiveness, and roomy toebox that users have come to love.
As does the Ultra 2, the VJ Speedhiker features aggressive 4mm lugs on the outsole.
To increase comfort and combat the strain on the feet, we’ve built this shoe to be extremely light.
The back of the shoe has been lowered, which allows your ankle to move freely and make those sharp twists and turns in the alternating terrain. The lowered backside also amplifies the “sport shoe feel”, so the only thing standing between you and speedy treks is yourself!

For the best fit, measure your foot at home before ordering. It takes 2 minutes.
Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall.
Put on the same socks you would wear with these shoes.
Stand on the paper with your heel touching the wall, foot straight.
Ask someone to mark the tip of your longest toe. Repeat both feet — use the longer measurement.
Measure heel to mark in cm. Use the size chart below to find your size. If between sizes, always go larger.

[accordion-item title=”▸ Shoe fit scale”]
VJ have graded the fit on all shoes from 1 to 5 to help you find the perfect fitting shoe.
Wide
Grade 1 represents the most precise and narrow fit. Grade 5 has the widest fit.
The lower the number, the narrower the fit — essential for fast technical running where minimal foot movement matters. Higher numbers suit wider feet or those wanting extra comfort, and are often preferred on longer distances as feet tend to swell.
