VJ Shoes
FI · 1981 · Trail running
Orienteering grip carried over to trail shoes, from Orivesi
Started in 1981 when an orienteering shoemaker in central Finland could not find a shoe for roots and mud, and the butyl-rubber outsole still sells the brand. Unisex lasts, a five-grade fit scale instead of widths, and a 14-day paid return. The site says it repairs broken shoes where it can but does not say where it makes them.
