I got a pair of these given the good price. To be fair, it was a bit of a blind punt and I intended them to be used as a spare shoe for training. Word of warning - unlike several Inov8 styles, these are quite broad, and where I'd normally go up half a size to 9.5 with mudlaws and talons, I think a 9 would have been ample for these broader feeling shoes. They feel a bit heavy, I will need to wear thicker socks and probably fit an insole given the room inside. I wont be using them to race but will be kept for training runs on trail, or possibly track and trail O events. Comfy, good protection, big sole and heel. For the price, absolutely fine.
