These are durable shoes. Well made, looks good, rubber outsole feels really good. It's just that the toe box isn't wide enough or shaped like a foot. It is shaped like the toe of a regular tennis shoe. However, this shoe has great potential. But it hurts to wear it.

Version of the Merrell Trail Gloves. Finally found a shoe that looks and feels like I want it to. I just ran 10 miles out of the box and they slide on the pavement and naturally move with your foot. No unnatural arch support or thick padding. I'm very happy with it and will be ordering a second pair soon.

I've owned several different Inov-8 shoes with a specific purpose, from technical trail running to gym use, like this pair. I love Inov-8 and have not been disappointed yet. The fit is near perfect for me, minimalist and flexible, with a relatively large toe box. I have unusually flexible feet with narrow heels, low arches and long toes, so your results may vary. They are true to size and comfortable for long-term wear. The laces are a bit long, but they can be tied so they don't drag.

I bought these shoes to wear while lifting weights. The shoes are comfortable, well made and true to size, there is a very noticeable angle to the toe. Shoes cannot stand flat on the ground. While it's good for walking or some other form of exercise, it's not ideal for lifting weights. These shoes are well made but they don't fit what I intend to use them for.
