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 F-Lite 250 Fitness Shoes as Grade 2.
Synthetic Mesh Upper
INCREASED DURABILITY: The toe bumper has been reconstructed for ultimate protection against burpee fatigue.
The Inov8 F-Lite 250 is a power house go too shoe when tackling the cross training exercises. Its formation its created through a full bodied mesh that provides key breathability to the interior keeping the foot cool and refreshed through performance. Supporting the midfoot and securing lockdown the F-lite 250 utilises Met Cradle™ design.
The upper webbing support on the shoe is anatomically positioned to cradle the fore foot behind the metatarsal heads and provide a secure foot hold. Giving you greater stability and control whilst traversing the evolving environment underfoot. Added strength materialises in a rugged upper format, a durable synthetic wrap straddles the midsection for locked in support and a dynamic fit and feel.
Compressed EVA Midsole
VERSATILITY: The Powerheel delivers maximum stability when lifting weights, while the forefoot provides more cushioning for shock absorption and protection while doing box jumps or running.
Fighting your way through your workout a 8mm EVA midsole compound merged to the upper provides full foot cushioning. Through this clever installation, pressure is reduced on the underfoot and ach, negating poor balance and supporting the underfoot through transition.
At the rear and embedded into the midsole, a Powerheel insert is 40% denser than the forefoot of the shoe and with a 8mm heel-toe differential, the Powerheel provides maximum power and mechanical advantage when lifting weights. While the denser Powerheel delivers maximum stability, the forefoot provides more cushion for shock absorption and protection while doing box jumps or running.
Rope-tec Outsole
LIGHTWEIGHT: All unnecessary outsole rubber has been stripped back to enable fast, natural movement.
Utilised into the outsole Inov-8's Sticky™ rubber compound has been specially developed using climbing rubber technology. The 360 degree Rope-tec system extended onto the shoe's upper which delivers traction and durability on rope climbs and decents and optimises grip in wet conditions, providing superior floor fighting traction.
Unifying the outsole, Meta-Flex™ forefoot flex grooves and Fascia Band™ tech, can be found along the outsole lending the forefoot greater freedom of movement. Allowing the shoe to become more receptive, greater propulsion underfoot is granted to the wearer.
An evolution of the original F-LITE™ series, the F-LITE™ 250 allows an athlete to challenge any workout with more flexibility, durability and versatility.
