Wonderful shoes in my review

The shoes are true to size. They are quite elastic and are well suited for wide feet. Have Hubs 15.5. His feet are big and wide and he slides in easily. They have a soft cushion inside, don't rub against the skin and can be worn without socks. They let your feet breathe and don't sweat. They are well made with ribbed outsole for better traction. The upper is stitched and the sole is glued. Good looking comfortable shoes.

Pros
  • I love my Inov shoes!!!
Cons
  • F-lite 245 is not waterproof.

The shoes look good but they are not for me. I was honestly disappointed that I had to pay to send them back for an exchange or refund. I don't seem to read the fine print. I would trade them in for the correct size, but my frustration with the calls and email responses I received caused me to stop buying from this company. However, my shoes didn't fit, so I can't give an honest assessment of the shoe's performance or durability. It looks like a decent shoe and I think if I was the right size…

Pros
  • The quality of the shoes is excellent. However, they are 1/2 size smaller than all the other shoes I wear.
Cons
  • This may not provide sufficient Arch support for some users.

Great sneakers but expensive

I have nothing to complain about in terms of quality and fit. I love these shoes, they remind me of the New Balance I used to wear. It's lightweight, breathable and while not exactly roomy, it's almost roomy in size so it's really comfortable to wear. I mainly use them as my everyday walker, but when I run in them I find it so comfortable to "feel" the ground as I walk - a "one-with-the-road" feeling. The only problem is the price. Compared to similar products, this is about $15-20 more…

Pros
  • Great fit and cushioning, perfect running shoes for HIIT/functional fitness workouts.
Cons
  • The outsole wears out quickly with frequent use.

Very light shoe in which you can maneuver well

I've had Inov-8 shoes before and this one didn't disappoint either. If I had to give a real review I would give it a 9 out of 10. I feel the heel could be a bit stiff to improve squeezing when your feet slide in. I wish there were more color options. Overall great product

Pros
  • they work
Cons
  • F-lite 245 is not suitable for cold weather conditions.

Light and flexible

I bought them for my boyfriend for training. He loves how they flex around his foot with every workout. They are not very tight and do not tie his leg and we both really like the gray color. True size guide too. All in all a high quality running shoe.

Pros
  • The shoe is ideal for a variety of activities including weightlifting, cross training and general fitness.
Cons
  • F-lite 245 may not be suitable for people with wider calves.

Fits as expected. Very easy

My son LOVES these shoes. He says they feel like a sock with a sole. Absolutely no pressure or friction points. Let your feet breathe and have great support.

Pros
  • flexibility and weight as well as looks
Cons
  • Color options available are limited

Great shoes. good for me

For a long time I was looking for a good sports shoe to replace my previous ones, which are no longer produced. They are lightweight and have a broader tip.

Pros
  • The lightweight design ensures a comfortable fit during longer activities.
Cons
  • Shoes can be uncomfortable when standing or walking for long periods.

VERY happy with my rating.

no reviewer but the moment I put these shoes on I fell in love! I love minimalist shoes and also do some lifting and plyometrics and this shoe performs as expected and looks and feels great too!

Pros
  • Specially developed for men, offers an optimal fit for the male foot.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for overpronators.

New for this brand. Nice!

Very light and comfortable. Very good fit - maybe a little tighter than expected but not necessarily tight. If you NEED wide shoes then this is not for you.

Pros
  • These are the best training shoes. These are better than Reebok Nano and NoBull shoes.
Cons
  • It may not provide enough padding for people with joint issues.

My new favorite shoes

This shoe fits very well and feels very light and secure. The quality of materials and assembly is excellent. I hope innov8 never stop releasing these shoes.

Pros
  • Durable construction means the shoe will stand up to heavy use and abuse.
Cons
  • The F-lite 245 may not be comfortable enough for people with ankle problems.

PROS: Minimalist shoes are great for hot summers. The entire part of this shoe is made of mesh, but it has a solid structure and the upper doesn't feel flimsy. The laces tie easily and will NOT slip off. A knot is all I need and I can run all day without worrying about my laces coming undone. The insoles can be replaced. CONS: Cushioning is minimal, but that's okay, they're not made for running. FYI: - The insole construction is very thin and when I checked the shoe I noticed that it flexes…

Pros
  • The rubber outsole offers excellent traction on different surfaces.
Cons
  • The material may not be very breathable, making your feet sweaty.

There are better ways

They are light and breathable. The bottom rubber layer is heavy and not shock absorbing at all. The fit is regular and they look pretty cute. However, I am sending them back for walking or running because of the feel and perceived quality. I feel like this puts more pressure on the arch of the foot and causes a slight misalignment of the knee. They feel rather bad underfoot and are not comfortable. I have other low-heeled shoes that are more comfortable and support proper biomechanics. It's not

Pros
  • I love these shoes. I am a new regular customer!
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with severe plantar fasciitis.

This shoe is great for treadmills and road running

I love jogging, mostly outdoors, including on a traditional treadmill. This shoe is designed for the type of aerobic activities I do. I like to walk on the side of the road in very hilly terrain, which requires me to act quickly when a car approaches so that I can cross to the other side of the road. Sometimes a car approaches very quickly and I have to dodge into the side of the ledge instead of going all the way to the other side. This zigzag movement required a shoe that wasn't too heavy on…

Pros
  • Designed to minimize the impact on your feet and reduce the risk of injury
Cons
  • F-lite 245 is not suitable for people who need orthopedic insoles.

My rating is impressive.

I really like these shoes, I use them for weightlifting and cardio ie push ups, squats, deadlifts, burpees, jump ropes etc. The shoes are very light, not very arch supportive but my feet aren't. it doesn't hurt at all after jumping rope in it. I probably wouldn't recommend them for running, but they're great for cardio and circuit training.

Pros
  • I love these shoes!!
Cons
  • Shoes can be too tight around the toes

Mens Training Shoes

The only way to keep your workout going is to feel good while you work out. The foot pad is great. Sizing is made for a thicker foot although the measurements are not 3x width as it fits like an x-width boot. Was skeptical about the sizing but this is the second shoe I've bought so I knew it was a winner.

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Work Speed

Trust Restored: Shoes

I used to be an Inov-8 fan. I have had several pairs of shoes from them but my favorite is the 240 which is now out of production. These are the best Inov-8s I've had since and they're the closest thing to the 240s I've been missing. The Inov-8 lost my taste when they started recreating their designs, but these shoes are good and promise the future.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Updates

High heel shoes best for men

I love these shoes. They are flexible, light and seem to be holding up well. Besides, they look great. I use them for strength and conditioning training at the gym and in the garage. This shoe was exactly what I was looking for and hoping for.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Some cons
