mmm. Outsoles i think but its a close call!!
...or is it our souls
Are they light weight breathable and ideal for recovery by any chance .
They look like ideal holiday/beach shoes . I'm going away in 4 weeks , I wonder if they'll be out in time :rolleyes:
Yup they are everything you ask.....and more.Quote:

They look interesting.....i dont know if im barking up the wrong tree here...but are they basically for going barefoot but with just abit of protection...Whats the price?
I watched the other one after it....that massive poster showing someone's leg/foot running with the studs on the bottom of their feet is amazing....see it in the fell runner every time and still love to see it......mr Inov Inside can you actually purchase it as a poster?....my wall has a space and it would look amazing! ;)
Al think of them as a "sandal" but with toe protection. The sort of thing you may put on pre or after racing. Or just for slumming around.Quote:

Or
Buy a pair :)
I'm guessing these weren't the minimalist shoes you've been very secretive about ? When are they out ? 2010 going to be a big year for Inov8 and new designs .
No these aren't the minimalist shoes I have hinted about:DQuote:

I'd have thought you'd got plenty of the world's lightest approach shoes already Insider. Roclite 315 is a much better shoe than likes of Merrell and the major walking brands have ;)

Hey you don't have to be a rock climber to use ,them they will in someway help you stay up right if you just want to wear them down the pub.......though that's not a promise...hic:D
:cool: Griproc is a good name! :)Quote:

Ohh yeah, but i think the 270s are great nothing can come close in terms of grip, never mind ya talons they dont come close. Others will disagree :rolleyes:Quote:

Thanks
I'm afraid I can't give a specific date but it's not expected till at least the middle of the year.Quote:

No offence II...but isnt the recolite a bit of a ploy to trail runners and the like...the sort of people who read Runners World
Thanks
If you look on the Inov8 website Tom there's 5 out and out fell shoes and a hell of a lot of trail shoes and why not? :cool:Quote:

If you pick up RW it's full of off-road running events and their most recent race of the year list makes interesting reading! ;)
I worry about Runners World.....laxst year it recommended Jura...now do they not see the strain that it must place on organisers if you have fun runners on serious fell courses. But anyway back to the point, i dont understand Inov8 because their whole philosophy goes against according to their proportion of trail shoes their target audience..and lets be honest at the end of the day, trail shoe wise Salomon will win hands down.Quote:

But hey it's all about choice.
We specialise in fellrunning, that's the sport we do but that's not to say that folks who want to run off road or who go walking/climbing shouldn't be a inov-8 customer.
Fair does....but shouldnt you make more fell shoes then if you 'specialise' which you truly do in that area.Quote:

Do they offer 10 models of "Trail" shoes that can and are used by fellrunners?
Just because you and I are fellrunners it doesn't mean other runners shouldn't benefit from inov-8's fit, grip etc.
As a footnote I was involved with ETA the specialist fellrunning brand, we had 2 specific fell shoes & 2 trail. Unfortunately even though they specialised the fellrunning Market alone was not big enough to support them and it folded.
Why do you think the likes of your favourite brand only have one shoe?
And why do you think that their sponsored runners choose inov-8 come race day?
I think there is a market for a shoe like this. At the 3 ultras I did last year there were a number of top runners, Martin Indge, Martin Beale amongst others who wear crocs before and after the race as a shoe just to let the feet breath and recover.
I think £60 is a bit steep though for a shoe that doesn't get any abuse
I see no reason why Inov8 shouldn't try to dominate as many markets as possible . After all Fell Running (although we all love it) is a small market . Trail running and road running are masive in the rest of the world . That is were Inov8 will make the money if they can get into those markets on an international level . And if they make money there , they will be able to continue making shoes for us .
£60 for a pair of sandals ? Well , you probably get what you pay for .
