Definitely runs small - I normally wear a 9.5 or 10 and needed a 10.5. That said, the 10.5 was perfect and great for someone looking to transition to zero-drop shoes but not ready to fully pull the trigger.

There is a ridge of material in the toe box that my toe nail would catch. Ugh

My third pair of INOV8 shoes for working out and this is my least favorite but it will do. The minimal style is....okay. I would prefer more support.

(What's this?)Shoes feel great as I'm breaking them in. Have not gotten to hike in them yet but expect them to do well in place of my outgoing Inov_8's.

(What's this?)Loved this shoe in black...unfortunately Zappos sent me the white pair actually counterfeit, not Innov8! So not cool!

(What's this?)These were so comfortable and definitely feel like specialized shoes for gym-based training. Felt incredibly grounded - perfect for squats or lifting. Really supportive in the heel. Unfortunately the sizing is way off. I'm usually 8.5 or 9 wide, and 9.5 fit well in another Inov8 model (the F-Lite). I'd have to size up to a 10 in the F-Lite Max.

They’re cute. They look like exactly what I’m gonna need for the gym but they definitely run small. I say a half size small.
Zappos Reviewer on July 15, 2026
Way too small. I went a half size up and still felt like I was wearing my kids’ shoes.

(What's this?)this is a great looking shoe and a durable shoe to work out in for cross training and running. This is the second time I purchased this shoe; but the first time I ordered them from Zappos. The shoe looks good runs true to size and feels good on your feet as well.

(What's this?)Runs at least one full size small (possibly more because I couldn’t fit my foot in at all).

(What's this?)Sizing is off, even a size bigger felt uncomfortable in the toes.

The left arch was off.

(What's this?)These are a pretty minimal show, and my toes touch the front, unlike other Inov8's. But they are really light, and pack well.

(What's this?)Overall, I like the shoe very well. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10 in athletic shoes. I eventually ended up with an 11; they definitely run short so size up. I got them for weight training and they were comfortable for the few times I've worn them.

(What's this?)Fit is great. Love the style and color. Of more importance is that the soles feel durable without compromising the zero drop advantages.

Shoe actually caused more pronation - with or without the removable insole. Otherwise like them and the grip.
Zappos Reviewer on April 15, 2026
I loved the look and feel of these shoes; when I put them on, my big toe went to the very end of the shoe. I compared them to another pair of athletic shoes; these had to be an inch shorter. I'll try the next size up if it's available. I appreciate the return policy.

(What's this?)Beautiful shoe but way too small. I usually buy a 10 in a tennis shoe but with these my toes hit the tip of the shoe.
C from CAPE CORAL on April 14, 2026
I love these shoes. I have minor foot soreness, and these are perfect for support, fit and comfort. And, yes, they look good.
Jim from Marinette, WI on April 07, 2026
Kind of ugly, but very comfortable.
Dave from Oak Park, IL on April 07, 2026
I can barely get them on. Way too small.

Not a bad shoe but the site says medium width and I got a wide width.
