These shoes rock! I have tried other brands and styles, and Inov-8 FlyRoc are definitely the best for what I need. I do a lot of trail running in adventure racing - these shoes are light, comfortable and durable. They provide great support and are part of my gear.

Excellent fit and performance. The Meta Flex protected my sole. I tried inov8 Roclite 295 with terrible results as the Meta-Shank did not protect my soles from small stones. Anxious for my 2nd pair of FlyRoc 310 to arrive.

My first pair of inov-8 trail shoes, and I'm very impressed. Perfect for longer runs on Mt. Tamalpais. Very comfortable, though I am used to vibram five fingers and New Balance Minimus trails (i.e. I like minimal shoes). Sizing is accurate, in my opinion.

So far I absolutely love these shoes. For road running I use Newtons so have become very use to a minimal shoe and midfoot strike, so wanted a light, low profile shoe for training running but needed good support and traction for snowy, icy, muddy unstable conditions. The Inov-8's have delivered. Very comfortable, light and a good size toe box that I like. Great shoe for the $$

Love it! This shoe has been great since the moment I put them on my feet. I used it for trails in Arizona and it had great traction and was light and airy. In Florida, my feet have gotten soaked, but these shoes dry quick. I think these shoes are great for those who do not want a lot of bulk.

Great Trail Shoes - Wear 9.5 regular shoes, 10 for running shoes, 10.5 for these. 10 were too tight around the toe box. The web/lacing system provides a good fit around the midfoot and is similar to the Asics Trail Attack (but not as tight). The profile is low. The sole is aggressively treaded with sticky rubber. The heel rubbed a little underneath my ankles until broken in. For me, this is the best Inov-8 trail training shoe. The Mudroc is good for fell/off-road and the Roclite felt a little too much like running shoes for my taste. I have used Brooks Cascadia, Asics Trail Attack, and New Balance 873 and these have the lowest profile (and least cushioning) if you are concerned about ankle sprains. At the same time, I would not use these for running on pavement or hard packed trails without rocks or roots. The other shoes are more responsive for that terrain.

Good training shoe. This is a good training shoe and it is very light, but I would use a lighter style for racing.

Flyroc - Great shoe, super light and stayed dry for 1.5miles in tall wet grass. Grips great on mud grass and rock, just not wet rock.

Interesting but with problems - Excellent sole, traction, and self cleaning properties, good toe protection but... there is zero cushioning in this shoe. Run it on loam, grass, but not rocky trails. Ouch! The heel counter does not grab the heel bone well; I blistered badly on both heels. The shoe is now relegated to short speed work on grass.

Best made trail shoe - The Fly Roc 310 is the most durable, supportive and thoughtfully made trail shoe that I've used. It laces and secures the fit without loosening, is easy to put on and remove, excels in construction and appearance. The soles self clean better than New Balance or Adidas and the design is clean and without unnecessary decoration. I look forward to obtaining other Inov-8 styles.

Finally a narrow fitting shoe - I have really narrow feet, and this is the first shoe that actually fit without having to wear thick socks and still has my foot flop around. To make them more shock absorbent I put a set of gel insoles underneath the insoles that come in the shoe. They were comfortable right out of the box on 5 mile fast walks on dirt/sand paths.

Awesome out of box - I got these off of Zappos because of the free shipping deal. They are the ultimate trail shoe. I had the Inov8-Flites loved them and wore them down. The shipping from Zappos is super quick. I got these puppies and hit the trail. I got the FlyRocs because I read a review about the Terrocs making a guy feel like a "gazelle" well I wanted to feel like a grizzly bear that would chase down the gazelle, eat it, then run down the mountain goat, chew it to piece’s and then the mountain lion and moose and… well you get the point. I can gladly say these shoes fit that visualization. I ran the muddy sneaker 20k in the finger lakes of NY and I was told by another runner after the race that I took 1 strike per his 3 as I dusted him down the swampy mountain. I’m 5’5”, 153lbs, normal footed. It you fit that shadow, you’ll love these shoes. I'll be running in several national parks this summer with these shoes including Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Crater Lake, Mount Reigna, Glacier and more.

Lightweight and comfortable - I have the fussiest feet in the world, and these are wonderful--lightweight and very comfortable. Lots of toe room too. They've already been great both for long city walks on concrete, and hikes in the country.

Great shoe - I live on the SE coast of NC so no mountains but we do have lots of sandy rough hilly woods with marsh and swamp, think back lot of Apocalypse Now. I got the FlyRoc 310's on a Mon, ran on Tues, best run I've had all year, road or trail. I love them and will be getting a Mudroc pair for the Green Swamp trails. Fits perfect if you pay attention to ordering, light as air, just a great shoe.

Best all-around trail shoes I've every owned - I won these shoes about a year ago from a trail running magazine, and have really enjoyed them. The uppers are like there's nothing on your feet, but the soles are really supportive. The thing I especially appreciate about the fit is the narrow heel and proportionally long toebox. Usually if I get a shoe that fits really well in the heel, the toebox is too short, but these are perfectly proportioned for my feet. They're made to wear with thinner socks, and they fit the best with some medium weight coolmax running socks, but I've worn them with expedition weight wool socks and they still fit fine. The lacing system is high enough that it really snugs your foot in for downhills. They have a surprising amount of cushioning for trail running, and are great for day hiking with a light pack. After you've worn them, you'll wonder why so many other shoes have such beefy uppers, when these are so light but provide such incredible fit and support. Before I wore them I wondered if the "ribbon" on the sides would cut into my feet, but I've never been aware of it at all.

Great Shoe -

One of the best shoes I've ever put on my feet. I took the suggestion of a previous reviewer and ordered an extra size larger than I normally use. Can't go wrong with this.
