Customer Reviews inov-8 Roadclaw 275 Knit

I am a long time runner and Inov-8 has been my favorite shoe (I switched from ASICS). I have a flat foot and stability running shoes often have too high an arch that hurts for long distance runs and these shoes have a relatively flat arch. I run long distances competitively - 1/2 Marathons and Marathons - and I train and race in these shoes. I like shoes that don't have too much padding or cushioning even at long distances and the Roadclaw 275 Knit has the right balance and toe to heel drop so you run with proper form verses having a shoe with high padding making it easier to heel strike. The previous version of these shoes had a fabric that tore a lot. The knit material is so much better and sturdy. I noticed someone said this isn't an outdoor running shoe. They could not be more wrong. I run 6 days a week and use these shoes for an average of 30 to 40 miles a week and keep them typically 6 to 9 months. I would encourage people to try these shoes. They are light and good for long distances.

great indoor workout shoe for elliptical, core training....etc. comfortable and supportive. NOT an outdoor running shoe.

These were purchased for my boyfriend. He is getting older and didn’t want a sneaker with a bulky heal. He’s happy with these. They’re lightweight, have good support without bulk. Also nice to have half sizes.

great comfortable, well made...very pleased

Size/fit/comfortability is good, but my pinky toes wore through the mesh in 5 months of use. Really was expecting more durability from these. Soles have a ton of life, but there are holes in the mesh now. These were used for walking, not running or what I'd call heavy use. What a disappointment for $145 shoes.

Had purchased these sneakers over a year ago - however, have only worn them for a few months. The stitching in various places is wearing and the support is practically gone in the heal and midsole. All from walking on just basic sidewalks. I was a huge fan on inov-8 before this pair - all other pairs lasted forever. I contacted the manufacturer and was written back a long story / provided a 30% coupon......not great service.
