I've had four pairs of these so far, and I just can't find any other shoe that does the job of these. I went through a few pair recently and had to send them back due to sizing issues. Tried to find an alternative, but no one else really does a minimalist shoe like Inov-8. Tried again, and this newest pair is a keeper. I will have to put a dab of fabric glue under the insole, though, as it had a tendency to move a bit too much, which wasn't an issue with my original red pair. With the sizing problems and insole slipping around, I suspect supply problems forced them to work with other manufacturers. Total guess. Maybe that's all coincidental, but the bottom line at this point is this is a great shoe. Customer service is excellent, as well.
Feels kind of like a rugged slipper. Bought as a replacement for Reebok Nano 2.0. Much lighter and more flexible than the Nano, but significantly less support laterally. I would consider this more of a “minimalist” than a “barefoot” shoe. I have much more balance with bare feet, since I can spread my toes and use the whole bottom surface of my foot.Also, the insole of the left shoe kept sliding toward my heel until I finally superglued it down. You could also take the insoles out for even more minimal feel and a little bit more space, since it is rather form-fitting.The outer sole provides good traction and flexibility. Good for movements where the foot and toes are flexing, like lunges and Turkish get ups.
This is my second pair after having my first pair of Inov8 barefoot shoes for 4 years. They are still perfectly usable, but starting to show some wear. Any athletic shoe that can last more than a year is worth it, 4 years is insane. These shoes are the best for squats if you don’t have ankle mobility issues. They are not great for running as they dont have shock absorption, unless you know how to properly run barefooted (by not heel striking). I think lifting barefoot or in shoes like this will make you stronger overall by building foot stability and allowing you to push more weight by making better contact with the ground and not having to push through the cushion of running shoes. May take some getting used to if you arent used to zero drop shoes, like converse. I will never lift in anything else though.
This is my second pair of inov8 shoes. I absolutely loved the first pair. They fit like second skin and were extremely comfortable and went beyond all my expectations for a zero drop shoe. This was my replacement pair and they fit slightly smaller than the first. The insole slid around so much that made the shoe unwearable and extremely annoying to have to remove the shoe, fix the sole and attempt to try again. Needless to say I gave up. I attempted to return the shoe stating that it was defective in hopes to exchange for another pair. I was not refunded or offered an exchange but instead received a notice stating that the shoe was "damaged" (in other words worn) and did not meet the standards for a return. I have not had a good experience with this shoe or the seller.
The shoes seem fine for what they're intended for but they're certainly not wide.
It grabs pretty good to the floor, I am doing floor exercises with them (gymnastics). I should had ordered half number larger in order to compensate for the narrow design. If they hold for four months more, I might order another pair in a larger size; I am 8, ordered 8.5, and my toes are barely rubbing the front of the shoe. Other than those inconvenients, I wish shoes were made to our feet real size (custom), I am loving these gym shoes. I feel like barefoot but with some protection, very flexible and it provides control in any direction which means safety (avoiding spring ankles). I have done car wheels and other floor exercises that requires good grip and have not had a slip off.
