Review on Inov 8 Womens Trailtalon 235 Yellow by Mohammad Pesqueira

I love INOV8 shoes! I always have, until now. This is my third pair of INOV8s (second pair of RocLites). I'm a bit disappointed with this couple's game. They have the same model number and size as my previous RocLites, differing only in color and laces. Obviously that's the difference. I trained and used them on a Palmerton Spartan in July 2021. At the end of the race my right heel started to blister. I attribute this to the design/style of the laces. They are NOT the same as my old RocLites when you tighten them to lace up, unless you put your thumb on the cross section of the laces, creating a loop that releases the full length of the laces in the shoe, allowing it VERY difficult to fully tighten fit. what friction means, what bubbles mean. I'm thinking of returning/exchanging the same color as my old RocLites (grey with pink laces) as those laces stayed tight after you tightened them to tie. It may seem like a small detail, but it makes a big difference, especially on the ups and downs in the ski mountains. Friction in your shoes makes running pretty uncomfortable.
