Customer Reviews INOV8 F-Lite™ 195

The most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn. I'm a huge fan of being barefoot. The Inov-8 195 Lites are the next best thing. I wear these shoes all the time. Not only for crossfit, gym, and running, but also around the house and while working in my home office. If enjoy the feeling of being barefoot, but want a bit of protection and great comfort, these shoes are for you.

I bought these shoes because my several people I know have them and seemed to really like them. They're minimalist kind of shoes, excellent for CrossFit and road running. They market this shoe as a trail running shoe but I did one trail run in them and I don't recommend them for trails unless you're are used to running trails in your bare feet. I felt every rock under my foot.

This shoe is super light and really comfortable. I wear them for work at the hospital. I work 12 hour shifts, and at the end of the shift, I have no foot pain or issues.

Bought this shoe for Crossfit. Perfect amount of support while still maintaining minimalist feel!

My husband was searching for a good pair of sneakers and liked the look of these so I ordered them for him. He loves them. He says they are by far the most comfortable sneakers he has ever worn. He always complained about other sneakers being too tight in some spots or just plain uncomfortable but not these. He's had many compliments on them too.

I ordered these in my usual us shoe size, a 6. They were definitely big, so I got a half size down, and I kept them, though they still are a touch long in the toe. Great shoes, love to feel the floor through the shoes, they mold around my foot perfectly!

I love these shoes. They have held up well and are very stylish and light. They look good with jeans. I don't really run in them, more so wear them for style.

These are excellent trail running shoes because they have a minimal amount of cushion and the perfect amount of support. I am used to running in minimalist shoes and the F-Lite 195's are a perfect shoe for minimalist trail running. They are extremely light as well which is key when you're running for longer distances.

I'll start with the stats, I'm about 5'6 - 165 lbs, crossfitter and about a 23:00 5k and about a 50:00 trail 10k. Most of the races I've done in either Vibram Kodomo or Trek sports. That said this year I've started to train for my first 26.2 mile race. While the overall training is going well, the bottom of my feet simply started to hurt once I got to about 25-30 miles a week. Hurt to the point I couldn't do box jumps in my morning work outs. Knowing I loved the minimalist feel but needed a little more padding I picked up the 195's and thank god I did. Highly recommend if your a Vibram lover, but want just a tad bit more padding. Ordered a 1/2 smaller and I didn't find the width to be a problem at all. Only con is after wearing the vibrams for so long I don't have the "airy" feel with these I do the Vibrams. The biggest plus, I don't have to run worrying about my heel finding acorns and things of that nature. Also tried the 230's as well, but these feel lighter. Great shoe, looks okay too.

I used to run very seriously and these are the best running shoes I've ever used. They are somewhat minimalist but have support in the right places. They are light and flexible. I love them!

I really like how light these feel on your feet. I have big feet for a woman, so I also appreciate the unisex look. I have two pair.

Perfect minimalist shoe - I have been a big fan of Terra Plana Vivo Barefoot, but I give the edge to inov-8. Their shoes fit like a glove, very comfortable and frankly look a lot more "normal" then many of Terra Plana's shoes. I use these both on the road and trails and have been very pleased with their performance.

I love the light weight of the shoe as well as the comfort! The best shoe I've ever bought! I will be buying more!

I purchased these on looks alone, and I was so pleased to find that not only are they very stylish looking, they are the lightest most comfortable sneakers that I have ever owned. They are definitely for warmer weather since the material is breathable. I absolutely love them!

These shoes are one of the most comfortable shoes I have purchased. They are extremely light and fit like a glove. I purchased these for CrossFit but have decided to buy a second pair for every day. If you are considering as a long distance running shoe I am not sure they are the right choice. They are great for short runs and quick burst fitness activities. Great shoes!

This is a great looking shoe. It's very light in weight and feels like I am walking on a cloud. I love them. I feel like I got more than what I paid for. I am very satisfied.

Was told about these by a cross fit instructor. I ordered them in a fun color and have fallen in love with this shoe. Light weight, great fit and feels so good on my feet.

Great shoes! Very light and good bounce. Had Nike Frees and these feel freer with Todd cushion. Also cool looks.

This is the best shoe I have ever purchased. I have so many problems with my feet, yet the first time I put these shoes on, they fit like a glove. Incredibly comfortable, perfect fit...I love them! I will definitely order them again.

I love these shoes! I love them so much that I am writing this review while buying my second pair! I crossfit in them 5 days a week and they are perfect! They are still like new, I am just buying another pair so I can get a different color. I recommend them to everyone I know, but everyone at my box already has them!

Even my husband likes these! And he's picky about his athletic shoes. I have two pairs of these and love them. My husband was looking for athletic shoes that would be light and easy to pack because he has to travel a lot. These do the trick. He uses them for the gym, on his bike, and for walking. The fit was great, too!

These are my first shoes purchased specifically for crossfit. Extremely surprised and happy with the fit and feel during workouts. On arrival I was afraid they were of poor construction due to their light feel and abrasive material, though after one workout I changed my mind. These shoes are great for all the core movements and running as well. Will be buying another pair when these wear out.

Since I adopted a ChiRunning style of running, I have converted to the minimalist type of shoe. This F-Lite 195 is very comfortable and perfect for my needs.

Love these soes! I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis for the past 4 months, and this is the only pair of shoes I could wear that don't hurt. For some reason, the very low heels of these shoes are helping my PF. I've stored away the other stability shoes I had purchased since those hurt my feet a lot. I use these F-Lite 195 for work as well as for exercising (riding the bike, running short distances, elliptical machine, rowing machine, etc.). I usually wear an 8.5 in women's shoes, but I ordered the same size as my running shoes, Size 9, to make room for swollen feet after running. They fit perfectly and comfortably! Going 1/2 size bigger also makes room for my arch support orthotics. Can't say enough good things about these shoes!
