When I first slipped this shoes on they felt like old friends. I use them to run my dog in agility. They have a nice grip and lightweight. I did buy a 1/2 size bigger as they seem to run a little small.

I got this shoe for dry and hot weather. It has a slightly larger fit for me than the Roclite 295, but the fit is great for every day wearing. A surprise is how quickly they dry if I do get them wet. I use the 295s for running as they hug my feet a bit better. After wearing the 268s for 6 weeks, the calluses on my little toes have disappeared, telling me that this shoe (and the Roclite 318 and 295) design lets my feet do their job properly.

This was my first true sport shoe I bought, as I always hiked or ran with shoes that, while they were deemed athletic, would leave blisters on my heels or toes. I decided to invest on these shoes, hoping I chose the right ones, and yep! I love these shoes. I have hiked and ran on asphalt, mud, rock, pine needles for usually nine hours and I have not had any blisters or callouses. They provide excellent grip and traction on rock, which was a pleasant surprise as I was also used to slipping on other shoes. These shoes are not that waterproof, since one may feel wet if one landed on a puddle, but they dry quickly and resist mud and marshy terrain very well. I am a US 6½, more of narrow width although B/M tend to fit me fine too, depending on the shoe mostly, and I found this shoe true to size and width, as well with great arch support.

I bought these specifically for a trip abroad, and they worked great! The shoes are supportive in tough terrain, but they're light and breathable for city walking. I replaced the insoles since the stock are basic. I also ordered 0.5 size larger, and it's perfect. The shoes are on the narrow side, but this worked well for me since my feet are pretty narrow.

Too wide for me, especially in the footbed and midsole.

The inov-8 Roclite 275 Gore-Tex was so amazing that I wanted a non Gore-Tex version. Tried the Roclite 268 because it was on sale. A totally different shoe. Both fit closer that my normal size 9, but the 275 felt great that way. My toes touch the end of the shoe in the 268. Will try a half size up.

I generally wear a 9 M. These shoes did not work for me. The 9 fit perfect in the width, but my toe was at the end. The 9.5 was better in length but too wide. I absolutely LOVE the Inov-8 Roclite 275 GORE-TEX. Totally different fit.

I have had these shoes for a few weeks now, and so far I love them! They are light and flexible. I wear the Roclite 268s for trail running. I also wore them in a Tough Mudder event. While the other participants were slipping and sliding up and down the muddy hills, my boyfriend (who was also wearing Inov-8s) and I ran right by them all! These have the best grip that I have ever seen on a trail shoe. The Roclites also shed water very well. There is little if any support in this shoe, which is what I was looking for, but it is not for everyone. I highly recommend this shoe!

I have been using this shoe for almost a year. It is light weight, and I like the colors. The main issue is there is no arch support. I had to purchase inserts.

This is a very nice shoe but not wide enough in the toe box. Like all running shoes, I ordered a 1/2 size larger than my regular size, and it fit everywhere else just fine.

My favorite shoes! I traded in old, thick, clumsy hiking shoes for these and the moment I put them on I was more cheerful, weighted less, and could climb higher mountains...faster. Well, okay, I can't say the shoes did all of that but honestly, these shoes are so comfortable, I really felt better. I get compliments on them all the time. I wear them to the gym, on walks, travel, and on hikes. They are super light weight, very flexible and did not require "break in" time. I'm getting them in another color now because they are the kind of shoe I want to make sure I'm never without. I normally wear an 8 1/2 to 9. I bought 9's and they are perfect...I would not want them to be smaller or larger. I have kind of wide feet. They fit perfectly in the width.

Love these shoes, run everything from 4 to 16 miles in them! They are great! Great climbing rubber, stick to everything! Prob a 2 week break in- adjustment time for my feet where I kept it low mileage Toe box is kinda big, got a 6, which I wear in wave-runners prob could go down a half size.
