Customer Reviews INOV8 Bare-XF™

This shoe is so close to perfect - for sizing, I typically wear an 8-8.5, and I the 8.5s fit perfectly. I typically wear a 9 in Inov8 shoes, so size down for your Inov8 size or buy your standard size. The fit was perfect - toe room, width wise. However - the insole is awful. I can't stand the boomerang insole, it's doesn't hug my foot right, hits in the wrong places, curls up on the edges so my foot is sitting in a dip, and is waaay too thick and spongy for a barefoot shoe. Don't get me wrong, I want an insole and I even bought some replacements, but nothing was quite right.

I wore these shoes all over France and Portugal for over a month. They needed a bit of break in because my feet can be difficult, but once they were good, they became my go to shoe. They worked quite well on the cobblestone streets and the fact that I could really feel the ground beneath me made it easier to navigate uneven terrain. Highly recommend!!

Bought these for my wife to work out in. She said they are the best feeling barefoot shoe out there.

This is a wonderful shoe if you want a barefoot. I love it. I wear a women's 11 in walking shoes. This 11 was too small. I think because it is unisex meaning 9.5 men, 11 women, the 11 is not an accurate woman's 11. Returned it only due to size. Liked the shoe and great price.

Perfect barefoot shoe for first timer.... I bought a leather thin insert and took out the insole, because I wanted a more natural feel.

Had to order up a half size. But nice training shoe if that's what you're looking for.

Definitely 1 size smaller than my regular 8.5/9. So I retuned and ordered a 10. Will update.

I am between an 8 and an 8 1/2 depending on the brand, this shoe feels like a tight 8. The fit is narrow, snug, and fully flat with only a hint of support in the arch.

Very uncomfortable rough insoles, actually painful and have to take shoes off after just 2 miles of sauntering. Love the low/no profile for strengthening my feet and ankles . Style and color are nice looking.

The box was marked correctly for my order (size 6.5), but the shoes were actually a 6.0 according to the tag inside the shoe. And, in fact, they were too small.
