Highest Degree of Performance - I've run 13 ultras of 100 miles under 24 hours and I am always trying new shoes, and until today the best Gore-Tex trail shoes for me is the Roclite 312 GTX. Its super light, very comfortable, great cushioning, and more. In 2 week I will be running the Marathon des Sables (150 miles) in the Sahara Desert and off course I will run on my 312 GTX. Inov-8 truly makes a great shoe. Note: I am NOT a sponsor runner for Inov-8.

The best shoes for trail running - Last weekend I used this shoes for a trail marathon (42 kms) the race was especially difficult due to at the beginning was raining very hard therefore the roads were full of mud. I can tell you that at the end of the race I did have my feet dry and with out any kind of blister. For sure I will use these shoes for the 2009 Marathon des Sables!!!

Bangin' Stuck on this brand! Sexy, sure/deep tread, non-marking, waterproof, and super-light, supportive. Impeccable trail/mountain runner. GTX obviously can get clammy when wearing for many hours...so get another pair of non-GTX for around town. Again: sure tread, style, very light. Will buy again.

I bought the shoes a half size larger than normal and the fit is good. Waterproofing is great. I would buy these again.

I love Zappos and I love Inov-8 shoes!! These are great shoes and are light and comfy but they are just a tad but less comfy than the Inov8 Terroc 330s which I'm keeping and returning these 312's.

About inov-8
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 have worn the shoes several times while working out in a "Boot Camp" class. The surface we use is grass and pavement. The shoes are very light and the cleats really help with running and cutting on grass and hills. I have so far done several runs of 1-2 miles on pavement in the shoes without any foot discomfort. I ordered my true size and the shoe fits perfectly. The quality is top notch. The GORE-TEX material is exactly what I need for wet grass surface workouts. I highly recommend the shoe for the type of workout that I am doing.

Rock on, Roclites! Just ran in it yesterday for about 4-5 miles and, wow, what a surprise!. I love how the shoe fits snug like a glove. I also love how there is just enough cushion, but not so much that you can't feel the ground a little bit. The traction is just spot on and the rubber is very tacky and soft so you can easily run across boulders and logs. They also very light, which is good when you need to jump a snake! All in all I give this shoe a 4.5.

I got these shoes after I purchased the man's pair for my boyfriend. He convinced me I needed a pair, I'm so glad I listened to him! They are a great pair of shoes and very high quality. Would recommend to anyone that has an active lifestyle! Thanks Zappos!

Light, aggressive, and very comfortable. This shoe has a good amount of room in the toe box and does well for a very neutral foot. Great shoe for any type of trail condition.

First off, I cannot stress how great Zappos is. I first ordered the shoes in the wrong size and took forever to even try mailing them back because I figured it would be a pain. It was quick and easy. Once they had received the shoes and I ordered the proper size, Zappos got them to me the next day. I had ordered them on a Thursday afternoon, standard shipping and I received them on Friday. The shoes are fantastic. I am a distance trail runner and wear Vibram FiveFingers most of the time. However, I wanted some shoes that I felt comfortable on really rocky terrain with. An added bonus is the Gore-Tex lining. I tried them on and they fit perfectly. I have been running in them for over a month and they hold up beautifully, and my feet stay dry even in rainy weather.

Best running shoes I've owned. Perfect for walking too. Bought them for my trail running. I put them on and they fit like they were shaped to my foot. Super light, extra comfy. Soles are dark and did mark up my floor after I used them for an indoor workout, so just be aware. I highly recommend.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable, sturdy and built for hiking along trails or climbing over boulders. Numerous times we crossed water and my feet remained dry. From the time I put them on to the end of the day (longest hike was 11 miles) they were so comfortable. My feet were the only ones in our entire group that weren't sore or blistered. I had never purchased Inov before, but I am a true fan and will return to this brand in the future.

I had these shoes for less than a year before throwing them away. The Gore-Tex was non-existent after the 2nd wear and one of the shoes had a hole beginning on the side. I only wore these shoes occasionally on the weekend.

Just did a 12m trail run in these and they rocked! Feet dry and very solid shoe loved them! Stable and firm yet still had a light feel, worth the money.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned! They are worth every penny. Super comfortable and extremely lightweight. I bought them because they are waterproof and worried that my feet might get hot. Well, they don't. I don't know how Gore-Tex does it, but these shoes breathe. I am not a runner, but I am a mother of 4 and I hate having soaking wet shoes/feet at the kids soccer and football games, not to mention, trekking through slushy parking lots all winter long. I highly recommend these shoes!

These shoes have a really pointy toe box. I've worn medium to narrow shoes comfortably in the past, but even after I switched to a larger size in this model, my third and fourth toes were still rubbing on the sides.

Awesome shoes! It was love at first try-on! I tried a few other pairs but the women's specific design made a big difference for me. I put a pair of Superfeet Green in and the combination is absolute perfection! This is my second pair of Inov-8s - I also got the Inov-8 F-Lite 230 for my five day a week crossfit habit.

These are the best shoes that I have ever owned for my sport of dog agility. The moves required are kind of like basketball on grass. Lots of running with quick stops and sudden changes in direction. This barefoot hybrid is comfortable, with superb traction. Runs slightly small but i was still able to go with my normal size 9. You might want to order a half size up as well to make your decision. Other Innov-8 styles did not feel as great as these. I bought three pairs!

This shoe is light, flexible, and totally waterproof. I use it for trail running and hiking. It has a slightly looser fit in the toe box than the Roclite 318, so it is perfect with heavier winter socks. It's also nice and warm for everyday use in the winter.
