Perfect *just buy your own insoles*
I deliver for Amazon so I needed shoes that have a decent size toe box area, grip on the sole,dry quickly, easy to clean, lightweight. They don't rub my ankles and don't need to be broken in.These are fantastic!Fit true to size,but if your a half size go to the next whole size.Only thing they need is your own insoles.

Women's size, not Men's
The shoes are great, they are exactly what I was looking for to replace another pair of inov-8 shoes. HOWEVER, I ordered a Men's size 8 since they're listed as Men's shoes and received a Women's size 8 Men's size 6.5 either, they sent the wrong size, or the listing is incorrect.

Decent Alternative to Speedcross
So far, pretty good. I have about 50 miles on these so far, mostly trail running and hiking. Previous trail runner experience were some La Sportiva Synthesis, Altra Lone Peaks, Salomon Ultra, and my favorites, Salomon Speedcross 3 and 4.Overall, I like the 290s about as much as the Speedcross 4s but I like certain things about both better. The 290s are light and have incredible traction, and are exceptionally breathable. The sole of the 290s is definitely less substantial than the SC4 or Lone Peaks which is good and bad; good because it gives excellent ground feel and let's your foot flex like it should and feels more stable most of the time, but I don't think it is as comfortable on really long hikes or runs. I think the lacing system is ok, comfortable but not as snug as the speedlace system, and it feels like it could be a week point although no problems so far. The one way the SC4 still shines in my opinion is when you side load the shoe, side hilling or on a sloped rock, etc. The flexibility of the upper material on the 290s allows a little more movement and flex to the side compared to the SC4 which holds my foot glued in place on side loading, however the 290s are way better than the Lone PeaksOverall, happy with these shoes but I foresee them staying as my <10 mile light hikers and runners.

Great for trails and hiking.
These fit perfectly, true to size. They are very comfortable. I bought them to take to Colorado for some playing in nature on the trails. They worked perfectly. Good grip on rocks and didn’t make my feet or ankles hurt.

Just what I was looking for!
I needed some zero drop sneakers to go to the gym. These work really well and also great arch support for my high arches.

Too wide!
I still have not wear them because they are too big. I ordered a 7.5 US and arrived 7.5W. Super disappointed

If your feet are even a little wide... get the wide
I love these OCR shoes. I have tried a few brands and these have so far been the most durable and most comfortable. My friend and I bought the same pair (in different colors) and she has really wide feet. I bought the regular and she bought the wide. She even had to size up in the wide because the wide wasn't wide enough. The regulars were fine for me, but my feet aren't wide at all. I highly recommend these shoes!!
