VJ IRock 4

Aggressive grip, now with soft anti-slip heel

The VJ IRock 4 has been upgraded with a soft anti-slip heel to make sure that the shoe shapes better to the foot and that the foot stays inside of the shoe even during the toughest of performances. The upper’s design has also seen some small tweaks to enhance the fit of the shoe.

The VJ Irock has long been the most aggressive VJ shoe without metal studs for softer conditions. Its specifically designed lug configuration gives optimal grip when it's slippery but still sheds loose debris that could otherwise become attached. VJ’s signature Butyl rubber completes the outsole, giving the IRock the world-famous grip it is known for.

The Schoeller®-Keprotec® upper featuring aramid fibres is incredibly durable and protective with the Fitlock system providing added protection and a personalized fit around the foot arch. With its precision fit and amazing grip, the IRock has long been an orienteers’ favourite but has in recent years shown its class in everything from obstacle course races to the most technical of skyraces.

With performance in mind, this shoe is best suited for shorter to middle distances in softer terrain and is in a class of its own from snowy descents to muddy trails.

Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, wearing the socks you'd run in. Mark the paper just past your longest toe, then measure from the wall to the mark. Do both feet and use the longer one.

These sizes are a racing fit, with only a couple of millimetres of room at the toe. If you're between sizes or want more room, go up a size.

How wide does it fit?

VJ grades every shoe from 1 (narrow) to 5 (wide). A narrow fit keeps your foot still on fast, technical ground. A wide fit suits wider feet and long races, when feet tend to swell.

VJ shoes are unisex. Sizes and fit grades from VJ.
