INOV8inov-8 Bare-XF™ 210 V3 Taupe UK 10 (US Men's 11) M

I have had a few pairs of these over the years. I started wearing them while doing kettlebell workouts rather than taking my shoes off. Your feet are stable on the ground as if you had no shoes on. They are definitely comfortable.I tried a cheaper brand which was ok BUT didn't last longer than a few months. When ordering - I suggest ordering either a half or a whole size up. I usually buy size 10 but in this I bought an 11 and it is perfect.

I actually ordered the all black ones and received gray. Not bad I like my other innovates better. These ones are already coming apart in certain areas.

I love the look and feel of these shoes, but the inserts have been moving around since day one. Then end up getting pushed to the back after only a few minutes of walking. I’ve tried a bit of superglue on the heel and that seems to have worked so far, but I was surprised and disappointed at this flaw.

Highly recommend. Comfortable, good barefoot design with a toe box that is wide but not too much. Good durability so far.

Minimalist shoe. Lot of ground contact-that being said I probably wouldn’t wear it on really rocky ground.

I was a bit skeptical @ 1st as I am very choosy about shoes to workout in. But after a couple weeks of workouts and just wearing them around the house, I LOVE them. The F-Lite 260 V2s fit my feet perfectly, the size was pretty much exact for me (10.5). The toe box is also perfect for my feet, lots of room. They are super light compared to other Xfit style shoes I've worn (Metcons). They have the perfect drop for me (8mm) as I struggle with shoes that are basically flat. I wanted to like the Metcons but they are flat and have ZERO arch support and are terrible to run in. And I now with Nike inserting their politics into everything they sell, so I won't ever buy anything from them again. The Inov-8s are perfect shoes for crossing over from the running to the workout part of the WOD. I am glad I gave these shoes a shot. I know have a go to shoe for my WODs and just wearing around the house. I do wish they were not so pricey, but I still am glad I got them!

So. The shoes fit and we’re not too small even though Amazon suggested I buy a size larger than usual, although the toe box is narrow so if you need a wide shoe this is not the one for you. I went with the more expensive option this time after my last buy was the WHITIN trail runners for $40ish bucks. After having these shoes for about two months, they’re nearly the same as the much cheaper WHITINs. Although I did buy these specifically because a few reviews said that they last for a very long time and many miles of running, and my WHITINs wore through the soles after a few months. So I may update the rating to higher if they last longer than them. As for these shoes, you can step on stones on the road without pain like the Merril vapor glove fours ( that HURT to step on stones with those) so the bottom is thick enough to protect the foot but yet you still feel the ground. The main thing I dislike about these is that the soles both come out and I am unable to get them to not slowly ride back toward the heel of the shoe as I walk or run. I always have to stop walking or running and take the shoe off, place the insole back into its proper position, which is so annoying I just removed them completely. But other than that, they’re great barefoot shoes so far, just wish I’d have gone with the WHITINS again for a third of the price.

First thing I would advise against is ordering down a size, like what a lot of people like to advise doing on Amazon. If you want to wear these without socks, order your size. If you want to wear socks, go up. Inov-8 run small. I ordered 12s and they just fit without socks.Now we got that out of the way, let's chat about the shoes themselves. They're super light. They're also surprising grippy, and warmer than I expected. I wouldn't wear them to shovel the driveway, and they do breathe, but I was surprised that my feet haven't really gotten cold wearing them, despite it being January and February I've been wearing them. They do take some getting used to. Hard surfaces aren't as fun as soft ones. I wore them for a 6hr shift at my part time job just to see if it's doable, and it is, but it wasn't luxurious, standing on concrete. Also, I wouldn't go running on hard surfaces with these. That's me, though. These really don't offer support, or loads of protection, and they aren't supposed to. But once I got used to wearing them, it took about a week, I really enjoy wearing them. They're an awesome gym shoe, and I'd recommend them to someone looking to get I to minimalist shoes.

I bought these for rowing on a concept 2 as they have a minimal drop and give me more drive.I’m a size 9 in normal shoes but 9.5 fits better in these, same as my size in other running shoes. They are extremely light, I can’t imagine running outside in these as they feel so insignificant but if you want a barely there shoe then these will be good.For the gym I highly recommend them. Look great in red. The laces are a bit too long but tie nicely.

Using it for my lifts (power-lifting). Also quite enjoy walking around with it. Zero-drop.

Toller Komfort, sehr belastbar, gute Haltbarkeit.
