It is a great shame inov8 feel they can't afford to manufacture in the UK.
Could they not at least make some of there range here. New Balance have a factory in Cumbria.
There must also be some financial incentives from the government to create jobs. Toyota and Nissan both have factories here.
Working in manufacturing this is something I feel very strongly about.
Inov8 is a fantastic company hopefully with a great future but would it not be better if they were also a UK manufacturer.

Some interesting points here. Firstly, yes I have worn Inov-8's, had a pair of Mudrocs. They lasted about 3 months and mangled my foot on long runs, but I am but one individual and I am sure plenty were happy with these.
I have to admit, your marketing is very apealing/persuasive and acording to your posts, the company is whiter than white.
Times have changed agreed, but sorry buddy,( love it) the anatomy of the foot has not changed. So why should a shoe that led to so many fine perforances that still stand today all of sudden be inferior.
If manufacturing has gone to the wall as you state, then how can they compete on price with you? In a recession we should support any company that maintains jobs in the UK, when it could easily throw it to the east.
But we do listen to our customers and try and put right the faults.
Good job there is choice in the market eh
Dig a little deeper and see if every part is UK manufactured
Some companies do all the cutting, stamping out etc in India, Bulgaria, China, Mexico, Vietnam then ship to the UK for final stitching.
