Inov8 Roclite G315 V2 GORE-TEX Trail Shoes

Don't let any weather prevent you from your run with the Inov8 Roclite G315 V2 GORE-TEX. With supreme comfort, an extremely secure grip, and a GORE-TEX upper that will provide you with durable waterproof protection, the shoe is perfect for hitting the trail.

GORE-TEX Upper

Keeping feet dry on all your outdoor adventures, the Roclite G315 V2 GORE-TEX utilises a GORE-TEX membrane, to prevent water from entering the shoe and causing discomfort. Additionally, the moisture-wicking properties of the uppers prevent feet from becoming wet and uncomfortable from sweat or moisture build-up. As you begin to sweat, small molecules are able to escape through the upper before evaporating. This will keep your feet feeling dry and fresh through the course of the day. For further ventilation, air can pass through the shoe material, which means hot air can escape and be replaced by cooler air, to keep the feet feeling refreshed. The shoe uses ADAPTERWEB, a technology developed by Inov8 which adapts to the natural movement and swelling of the feet while in motion. The material covering the toes is extremely thick and tough, which prevents injuries from occurring through stubbings and other bumps. Covering the heel, the shoe uses an X-LOCK system. This holds the heel in place, preventing slipping and other movements, whilst it also provides additional support. The foot laces with eyelets make finding a secure fit easy, and a padded tongue and ankle collar will prevent irritation through rubbing and chafing, increasing support.

EVA Midsole

Injected into the midsole, an EVA compound works to protect and cushion feet. Towards the top, the EVA is more cushioned, which will provide a soft feel directly on the sole of the foot. Maximising comfort to ensure that you remain comfortable all day long. Further down the midsole, the EVA changes, and is more shock-absorbing, meaning any bumps and knocks from rocky and uneven terrain are absorbed instantly, preventing sharp impacts from coming into contact with the feet. Using a POWERFLOW midsole, the shoe delivers 10% better shock absorption than a standard midsole, and in addition to the forefoot, the midsole also provides you with a 15% better energy return than normal Inov8 shoes. Firm and sturdy, the solid structure of the midsole will increase the lifespan of the shoe, holding its shape and functionality over a long period of time. In the midsole, the shoe uses a META-PLATE shank which provides greater forefoot flexibility and control, whilst also retaining underfoot impact protection.

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 trails, the Roclite 315 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.

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 heavyweights. It's also perfect for longer runs and races when toes begin to swell.

Inov8 have graded the Roclite 315 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes as Grade 3.
