Customer Reviews inov-8 F-Lite™ 230

I am a health care employee (dental assistant) and we recently changed our scrubs to this color of blue. I didn't want a white or black shoe, so after having searched the net for the perfect shoe, I finally found them at Zappos! The color makes it look uniformed and sharp at the same time as well as very comfortable. I do not like the typical health care scrubs look and so these shoes were perfect for me!

I love these shoes! They are perfect for Crossfit and true to size.

Love my Inov-8 F-Lite 230. I wear them for Crossfit training as well as some running. I have very high arches and usually try to get shoes with a lot of support. This shoe does not have arch support however I found this shoe to be very comfortable and no foot pain. Great shoe!

Love these shoes! Lifting in CrossFit is much more efficient. Didn't think I would like to run in them but I actually love it. So comfortable! Highly recommend.

I bought these shoes based on the many reviews available online and based on the recommendations from the crossfit endurance founder for inov8 shoes. So far I am very happy with the shoes. I ran just over seven miles last weekend and was pleased with their performance on pavement. If you are not a barefoot/pose runner these shoe are not for you because you will not have sufficient cushioning or support. If you are a pose runner you will be very happy so long as you do not have an excessively wide foot. I have narrow heels and a fairly wide forefoot, so these shoes are about as narrow as I can handle. I will buy this style again.

Great minimalist shoe without too much cushioning. Very breathable and comfortable. I wear it for everyday wear and crossfit style workouts.

This shoe was so comfy and I got it the very next day. Unfortunately it was a full size too big (I'm a girl) and I had to return, and now they are out of my size! They go quick, assuming because they are such an awesome shoe. Can't wait to get the right size in!

Great shoe! Can't wait to get another pair. Zappos provided excellent customer service and I received my shoes quicker than anticipated.

I love these shoes! After multiple searches to see what everyone thought was the best Crossfit shoe I decided to go with the Inov-8. I have to admit a lot of my decision was based on the fact that I like the way they look but based on other reviews they were perfect for my needs. I love the thinness of the sole for lifting and the light weight for box jumps and running. By far the best shoe I have tried for cross fitting. I also have to say that although he bright colors are super fun I was glad to see they offered the gray/black as they are mug more my style. I have even gotten multiple compliments while wearing them. I was a little unsure what size to choose as some reviewers said go up a size while others claimed the opposite. I decided to start with my normal size 8 since I knew if I had to exchange them Zappos would make that real easy. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived the next day and fit perfect! Whether I wear real thin socks or socks that are a little thicker they fit great! I would definitely recommend buying these if you are considering it. You will not be disappointed!

Between myself, my sister, and my girlfriend we own 5 pairs of these shoes. For an all around crossfit shoe, these are perfect. The only thing I don't like about them is that everyone is drinking the Kool-Aid this shoe is pouring. But compared to every other low profile minimalist that other companies are offering, nothing comes close. I know Reebok's new shoe is coming in the fall, but after looking at the prototype at the crossfit games, I'm not sold yet.

Awesome! I can hardly ever find a perfect fitting sneaker and these are it. Usually 10s run small and 11s run big so it's perfect that these come is such a range of sizes. These are my first Inov-8s - they haven't disappointed!

My new blue shoes! These are totally badass. They fit great as soon as I laced them up. Comfortable, breathable, light wight, great all purpose traction, supportive, and sturdy. A hot buy altogether; I want another pair.

I would have to say I have a new favorite pair of shoes. They are very comfortable, very light, and they have really been great for my crossfit workouts.

Great overall shoes. Very light weight. Perfect for CrossFit. They fit pretty true to size, but smaller than Nikes. I wear an 8 in my Nike Frees, but got a 7 in these. Only thing I will note negative, is these are difficult to do long runs (+3 miles) in. But I did not buy them for this use anyway, so overall great shoe!

These are super light and took me a few wears to get used to them. I love them and highly recommend them!

These are the best shoes I have ever owned. Usually running shoes don't impress me, they just do the job, but I can honestly say these are great. They are light, comfortable and look awesome!

Wow. Best shoe I ever owned! Super light, very comfortable. Feels great to run in, sprint in, lift in, and there extremely well constructed. I would recommend these to anyone into fitness. I run and do CrossFit, and there great for me.

Great shoes, a little time to get use to the flat feeling but love them for my Crossfit WOD's!

Inov-8 has quickly become my shoe company of choice. There are few things I look for in a running shoe besides fit: Low profile, zero/very minimal overlays, and the ability to wear the shoes without socks. These shoes hit the mark in all aspects. I also have a pair of X-Talon 190's which are bare minimum protection, but are super comfy and grip like no other shoe I've worn. The size runs true and the shoe feels like a slipper (read=no blisters!). I don't get why other companies that have been around longer, don't have the innovation (I swear, no pun intended) Inov-8 has in their shoes. Or maybe, it's misdirected into gimmicky soles and exoskeletons...yeah, that's it.

I waited months for these shoes to come back in stock and now they are here! These shoes are phenomenal. They are so much lighter than any running shoe I've ever owned. Not only that, they are extremely comfortable and you can do pretty much anything in them. They are ideal for CrossFit and can if needed be used to weightlift.

Narrower and longer than described and there is really nothing to the shoe, very light. I'm gonna try a 10.5 I'm an 11 in Asics. It seems the less there is in a shoe the more you pay.

I really like these shoes. They feel like they mold to my feet, and while the soles are thin enough that I can feel the ground, there's still some cushioning to me it's the perfect balance between a traditional running shoe and a barefoot shoe like Five Fingers. The bright blue color is cute too. I wear woman's 11 in an athletic shoe usually, but based on reviews sized down in this to a 10.5 (UK 8, Euro 42) and it was perfect.

I love these shoes. They are so light and comfortable. They are comfortable to walk around in and run in. I love running in them and I am running about 15 miles a week and my feet always feel great afterward. You can also work out in them or do any other activities as well. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who wears shoes for any reason.

Wow. These are the coolest looking shoes. I really cannot tell I am wearing shoes at all. Gorgeous, amazing shoes. I am a true size and they fit perfectly.

Great shoes! I use them for jogging and for Crossfit, maybe for longer distances once i am more accustomed to less padding. Also excellent service from Zappos!
