Inov8 Shoe Fit Scale
For technical footwear, a good fit is essential to enhance your performance. Inov8's new Shoe Fit Scale makes it easier to find the perfect fitting shoe. All Inov8 shoes are designed with Met-Cradle technology to lock down the mid-foot for a stable hold, where they differ is in the toe box. The shoes are now graded from 1 to 5, Grade 1 representing their closest, most precise fit and Grade 5 representing the widest fitting toe box.
The lower the number on the scale, the narrower the fit, which ensures minimal internal movement of the foot when running fast on technical terrain. Shoes with the higher numbers on the scale will suit athletes with a wider foot and those wanting that extra comfort in the toe box. This wider toe box allows the toes to splay for increased stability when lifting heavy weights. It's also perfect for longer runs and races when toes begin to swell.
Inov8 have graded the Roclite G290 Women's Trail Running Shoes as Grade 3.
Breathable Mesh Upper
The mesh upper of the Inov8 Roclite G290 Trail Running Shoe boasts both durability and breathability. The hard-wearing mesh offers superb protection and unrivalled durability whilst allowing cool air to permeate the fabric and remove uncomfortable heat build up, creating a healthy environment that your foot can thrive in whilst protecting against dirt and debris. The Roclite G290 is designed to move and flex with the foot for unrestricted movement allowing you to adapt, react, and grip on the most challenging and unpredictable terrain. Engineered with ADAPTERWEB for superior comfort, the mesh upper adapts to the foots changing shape and natural movements as feet begin to swell on long adventures. The non-water absorbing material ensures you are kept light on your feet without any unnecessary water weight you down. Finished with X-PROTEC, the upper delivers ultimate protection and durability against testing terrains; a reinforced hybrid tongue and a rubber toe cap lock out dirt and protect against debris to ensure a comfortable, distraction-free ride.
PowerFlow Midsole
The midsole for the Inov8 Roclite G290 is set with a PowerFlow compound for resilient cushioning with maximum memory retention. The active compound reduces resistance and forces pressed upon the underfoot, engaging a smooth stride through transition and over uneven grounds and delivers increased shock absorption and energy return. Offering a cushioned ride, the powerflow midsole provides 10% better shock absorption and 15% better energy return than standard midsoles allowing you to run harder for longer. Additionally, a METAPLATE shank delivers extra protection against rocks and debris on challenging terrain for a more cushioned, comfortable ride.
G-Grip Rubber Outsole
Featuring Inov8's G-Grip, the graphene grip rubber outsole provides unrivalled grip and traction over unpredictable surfaces, whilst increasing the outsole durability across a variety of terrain, from mud to wet mountain rock and hard-packed trials, the Roclite G290 has you covered.
What Is Graphene Grip?
The revolutionary Graphene Grip technology is the toughest and most durable outsole compound that Inov8 has ever created, arguably the toughest and most durable outsole compound on earth. Graphene Grip is scientifically proven to be 50% stronger, 50% more elastic, and 50% harder wearing. Inov8 has gone from using 3 compounds with varying levels of grip vs durability to 1 compound which is Inov8's most sticky but durable outsole yet.
