Review on Inov-8 Women's Trailtalon 235 Lightweight Trail Running Shoes for Women by Amanda Turner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A great minimal shoe without durability

I'll start by saying that I genuinely love these shoes. That's everything I was looking for in a trail runner: light, flexible, grippy. I tend towards more minimalist shoes that are comfortable and easy to wear for hours. However, this shoe is NOT strong or durable. I've only been wearing them on weekends for almost three months now and I already have a serious hole in every shoe. The protector is very worn in places. As you can see, one boot also tore at the seam. I'll carry her in the ground, but that day will come soon. I paid 100€ for it and expected a much better quality for the price. I would only buy them again if they were on sale. I expect the trail runners to last over three months. I'm frustrated that I now have to look for a new brand or model after finding my perfect trail runner. Pity!

Pros
  • CUSHIONED RIDE - Powerflow midsole provides 10% better shock absorption and 15% better energy return than standard midsoles.
Cons
  • Reliability
