Customer Reviews INOV8 Roclite 280

I bought these shoes for my mud runs such as the Spartan and Tough Mudder. they were great!! super comfortable and great for traction going up and down the muddy hills. the best part is after the race I just had to hose them off and they would look brand new. I would definitely get these again.

I normally wear a women's 10 in running shoes but for these I had to order the U.K. 8.5, which corresponds to an 11. It took two returns to believe it. The toe has a leather-like cover which means if your toe is close to the edge, you will need the extra space otherwise that cover will irritate you. Size up!

As per other reviews I ordered this shoe in a mens 7.5 (womens 9). Worked great because I love these shoes. Thanks for your reviews!

Great shoes; this Roclite was just slightly too short in my usual size. I have INOV shoes for cross-training so want same brand for run/walk.

Love the shoes. Super light. Comfortable. Excellent traction over all kinds of terrain. I was especially impressed with how they performed over boulders and talus (as I'm a rock climber).

Wow, I ordered up a full size based on other comments, but should not have. I normally wear a 9, so ordered US 10W. I could move my foot forward almost an inch and the same side to side. On the plus side, very lightweight. Not sure if I will exchange for a smaller size. I think a US 9, M width would have worked for me and I have bunions and tailor's bunions to accommodate.

I just felt compelled to write this review because I found this shoe to be bigger than the waterproof Roclites. The previous reviewer thought they ran smaller. I wear a 8.5 in the 282 GTX and the 8.5 is way to big for me in these. I love, love the GTX version. My feet are swimming in these. I am an trail ultrarunner/marathoner.

I'm an ultrarunner (I prefer 50 and 100 milers) and I love these shoes for trail running. They are lightweight, with plenty of room in the toebox, and great support. They're great for gnarly technical trails, even when they're wet and slippery. I just found this version to be a tad smaller, so went up in size.

Runs small -- runs a full size small. I've been running in Inov-8 Roclite shoes for years. Until this purchase, I loved them. This shoe is a full size small. Be certain to be aware of that, and don't waste your time and money buying your normal size. Huge bummer.

I didn't believe the runs small reviews -- they really do. Exchanged for a half size larger. They still have to go back -- the toe box narrows too sharply, the leather outer will kill my big toe.
