Review on Inov-8 Men's F-Lite 235 Functional Training Shoes by Brandon Christianson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

upset. Impossible to keep clean. Not suitable for running.

I will never buy the white version again, that's for sure. I've tried everything including dipping in stain protectant and nothing helps. The fabric almost seems designed to trap dirt. No amount of cleaning with shoe cleaner helped. Maybe black will do. My previous perforated leather shoes are cleaned with a handkerchief. I found them great for lifting weights though, so if you limit your use to the gym I think they'll be fine. I wouldn't run in it for more than a short distance. They are a far cry from the stability and support of a person my size (6ft - 4in 250ft). So how are pure sneakers? Fine. Like something else? Not as much.

Pros
  • These are great training shoes, especially for functional and crossfit workouts.
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for weightlifting
