Recolite 190

[Inov-8 Insider]

Hi Pieter
I wouldn't suggest you use the Recolite for running.

Ideally you need to go to a specialist dealer and try on a few different shoes from different companies.
From our range I would look at the following ultralight minimalist shoes.
X-Talon 190-due out soon
X-Talon 212
Roclite 285- as Scott says one of my favourite shoes.

As for staying calm well I realise that most folks appreciate info from an insider.
You have to realise Pieter that in the UK there is a sport called " Strike" it's a bit like fishing you cast out a line and await for ******** to bite. Then you reel them in.
Great sport

Hi,

New member here :-) I am a barefoot runner (Holland). In the mountains I need some protection though. I have run succesfully in 5-euro watershoes. Vibam Five Fingers would be great as well.

But - for our next summer holiday to the mountains, my family wants me to wear "normal" shoes.

What I look for is a shoe that
- protects my sole from sharp rocks
- protects my toes from stubbing
- has good grip
- is lightweight
- is flexible. I'm used to my feet 'working' and I hate putting them in a 'ski shoe'
- has a wide forefoot
- no heel lift (I am used to flat shoes and fore foot running)
- no arch support (hate that).

Questions:
1. To what extent is the Recolite 190 a candidate for me?
2. If I can do mountain runs in watershoes, can I do it in Recolites?
3. Will the sole survive a few days on rocky trails?
4. How is the fit? (lenght, width at forefoot and heel). My feet are wide at the toes.

THANKS IN ADVANCE !

And Inov-8 Insider, I like how you stay cool and factural, even when some posters get (kind of) agressive
