VJ Shoes Flow ($160/€169,00)
Introduction
Renee:The Flow is much different than my other VJ shoes: the MAXx2, Lightspeed, and Spark. Geared toward a variety of terrain, the Flow is less niche than those shoes. Meant for “every surface,” the Flow lists trails, gravel, and road under its terrain usage and features VJ trademark Butyl rubber outsole and an eTPU supercritical foam midsole as found in last year’s very well received MAXx2 (RTR Review) .
One would think these hybrid-gravel shoes would be perfect for someone who runs mostly rural gravel roads, but this isn’t always the case. While I’m interested in the focus on “gravel” running shoes, I’m still hesitant to see their value as compared to road shoes. How does the Flow stack up?
