Good Traction

The Inov8 Parkclaw 260 trail running shoes are well made and comfortable and springy without being too soft, and they have good traction on concrete and grass and dirt. The fabric is a little stiff out of the box so I would recommend using them for a few shorter walks first to break them in then they're good to go for longer runs. I mostly use mine for walking and running my dog on both the sidewalk and park trails and they seem perfect for that. I would also recommend getting a half size larger than your normal size as they run a little tight in the mid-foot but have good room in the toebox. All in all a nice trail running shoe that's good on the pavement too.
