Overview

Who should buy the Vasque Juxt

Choosing the Juxt as your trail companion translates to cranking up your mileage calculator in something extra secure. Purchase it if:

  • Hardy backpacking shoes are more appropriate for the trails you tackle.
  • You need a pair that provides a relaxed fit in just a couple of short hikes.
  • Shoes that preserve your gait and balance are what you collect.
  • You hike in arid conditions, and you don't want to end up with sweaty feet.

Vasque Juxt A

Who should not buy it

If you prefer hiking shoes with a roomier toe box, skip the Juxt for the Satoru Trail LT Low. You're also better off sporting the Salewa Mountain Trainer 2 GTX if your go-to trails lead to rocky streams and creeks.

Vasque Juxt: Wonderful on backpacking adventures

Stability over rough and uneven terrain is among the responsibilities of the Juxt’s compression-molded EVA midsole. It is engineered to strike a balance between cushioning and ground feel, giving adventurers lasting plushness underfoot while hauling a loaded pack. Also helping the shoe bear the wearer's weight is the shoe's hybrid stabilizer located around the arch.
