Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 GORE-TEX V2 Walking Boots
Inov8's toughest hiking boots just got even tougher. Featuring an upgrade to their predecessors, the Roclite Pro G 400 GORE-TEX V2 has a greater level of support, enhanced comfort, increased protection, more energy return and longer-lasting durability.
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 Pro G 400 V2 GORE-TEX Walking Boots as Grade 4.
GORE-TEX Upper
Providing you with an enhanced level of protection and support in constantly changing conditions, the Roclite Pro G 400 GORE-TEX V2 utilise a GORE-TEX membrane through the upper. The GORE-TEX will ensure that feet remain dry and comfortable from start to finish of your journey, whilst also ensuring moisture is effectively removed from the surface of your feet, helping to prevent discomfort and overheating. Additionally, the uppers are made from a super-tough ripstop material, providing you with a durable upper for reliability. The fabrics have a tighter weave construction to repel dirt and debris, therefore helping you remain comfortable, whilst still remaining breathable for feet to thrive on the trail. To supply you with even more protection, the boots have a toe bumper that has been extended in length to their predecessors, therefore enhancing the level of shielding that's provided from knocks and bumps. The Roclite Pro G 400 GORE-TEX V2s have a superior wraparound heel lock system, which has been combined with a heel-cupped footbed to keep your foot stable and secure, for confidence on technical terrain and downhill descents. A Lycra padded ankle cuff also ensures your foot remains comfortable during intense movement, preventing chafing, as well as working to keep your foot secure. Finally, to provide you with a secure fit and to lock down the midfoot, the shoes have a traditional lace-up system, allowing you to remain confident on the trail.
Powerflow Max Midsole
The midsole provides high levels of underfoot cushioning without compromising on ground feel. Powerflow Max delivers greater bounce and energy return whilst also providing ample durability so you can go further for longer in complete comfort. The cushioning absorbs, stores and then releases energy to propel you through the gait cycle. By minimising shocks when your foot hits the ground, the midsole ensures a smooth, comfortable transition and reduces the risks of repetitive injury. As well as this, the midsole also boasts a super durable boomerang footbed which increases cushioning and adds spring to your step. The footbed delivers 40% more rebound to ensure a responsive ride and a 6mm EVA foam resides underfoot to provide a comfortably cushioned landing.
Graphene G-Grip Outsole
To provide you with exceptional grip and traction on changing terrain, the Roclite Pro G 400 GORE-TEX V2s have a Graphene G-Grip Outsole compound. This is constructed using the world's strongest materials to ensure the shoes are exceptionally durable, providing you with reliability underfoot. Working in tandem, the outsole retains the super-tough 6mm long Graphene-enhanced G-Grip lugs that work to bite into the ground and ensure you're provided hardwearing traction across all types of terrains. Finally, a flexible Meta-Plate Pro 6th Generation rock plate protects you underfoot from rocks and sharp debris.
