Interested in new inov-8 products?
All inov-8 footwear goes through extensive testing by enthusiasts and elite international athletes to guarantee they perform like they should. Their whole design development process centers on optimizing the end user's performance. The uppers of inov-8 shoes are extremely functional with mesh in the forepart and tongues for maximum breathability. This creates a good climate that helps you run at your best. When you run through water and the shoe gets soaked, it creates a pumping action that expels the water from the shoe allowing it to dry quickly. The lace webbing is positioned allowing a secure foothold without altering the natural alignment of the metatarsals. The back of their shoes are cleanly cut which allows your Achilles tendon to experience high levels of comfort and minimum restriction- particularly when running downhill.
The inov-8 team is made up of experts with proven track records in the footwear fields of sports, mountaineering, marine, outdoor and industrial design and development. This linked with a strong bio-mechanics input, coupled with a test team of elite athletes in the mountain sport environment gives inov-8 the creative culture for next generation products.

I've never once stayed loyal to a shoe brand for more than one set of sneakers - until now. These are my second pair of inov8 shoes, the second in what I'm sure will be a long obsession. I tried inov8's first after a great deal of research. My first pair were the F-Lite 220's, but for this pair I was looking for something with even less of a heel to toe drop for heavy lifting and crossfit. These shoes are perfect. They've got a little bit more toe room than my first pair of inov8 shoes and much more stability. They're just a smidge lighter than the first pair - which means they weigh practically nothing at all. I have extremely high arches so I needed a step down from traditional running shoes before I went "bare" and I'm glad I did - I experienced some soreness after longer workouts with these shoes but the stability is worth it. The drawstring shoe doesn't have a separated "tongue", but even with my arches I didn't have a problem getting these on or off - you just have to loosen the toggle like you would in tying or untying a normal shoe. These will be my day to day WOD/Gym shoes and I'll keep the 220's for my long runs!

I bought this sneaker for work and they are pretty comfy. Each day I felt as if I had nothing on my feet. Overall, it's light weight and roomy. One major issue I had was trying to get my foot into the sneaker if I wore thick socks. Although there's an adjustment string, it only gives little room for getting your foot into the sneaker. If I worked all day on my feet, which I normally did, my feet would be swollen and then trying to get the sneaker off became an issue as well. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who wears thicker style socks because you'll probably have an issue getting it on. Now I think twice before buying shoes that have this sort of a design.
I'd also recommend: Biom
