    This is an awesome lightweight minimalist shoe! I use it as a zero-drop road racing flat. Taking out the insoles improves the ground feel and gives a little more room in the toe box. These are the widest of any Inov-8 shoes I've tried. I was worried about the feel of the arch area, but that quickly softened up after a short break-in period.

    I like them. Very lightweight. Very minimal, with no cushion, heel, or support -- promotes better form. Sole is a little stiffer than the F-lite 195's I have, which I think works better on pavement. They do seem to run a little big, however, consider ordering 0.5 sizes smaller than normal.

    I use these shoes for crossfit and a bit of running. They are nice and wide for my feet without being too long. I previously had the 195s and I liked them, but they were too narrow.

    I am 62 years old and have been running for 49 years, The shape and size of my foot is the proverbial "average." I am not prone to injury. I am primarily a trail runner but run roads as well. I am a two year zero drop user and was looking for a true shoe (as opposed to VFF's for instance) that was zero drop and that had low weight. Both pair of my trail shoes are from Inov-8 so I gave these a try. I found them to fit my needs well. They are light, they wrap my foot well and the lacing system, while different, is comfortable. I have taken them as far as 14 miles at a time. You have to remember these shoes are not only zero drop, they have zero padding. I cut my zero drop teeth on no padding using VFF's so this shoe is no different in that regard. The only thing I see as a negative is that the sole seems to be wearing somewhat rapidly. Enjoy.

    These shoes are awesome! They look fantastic, and feel the same. They feel like they give you an extra pep in your step as soon as you put them on. There is nothing I would change about these, no cons at all.

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    Based in "England’s last Wilderness", the North Pennines, inov-8 is a British company that is passionate about the specialist off-road running products they make. inov-8 is committed to providing you with functional, lightweight products that will enhance your performance and enjoyment. If they cannot innovate, inov-8 doesn't do it.

    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 down hill.

    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 love the Inov-8 shoes for their comfort, looks, and zero-drop. These are as wonderful as I expected. The only problem is that they are really men's shoes, with size conversions for women. The sizes do not convert exactly which means that sizing for women is hit or miss. These ran big and will need to go back. Inov-8: please make women's shoes instead of trying to fit us into men's shoes!
