Inov-8Men's F-lite 235 V3 Cross-Trainer-Shoes, Blue/Gum, 12.5

I love the look of these shoes and I think they have the features that I need for the type of workouts I do - lifting, HIIT, cross-training. When I received my first pair I ordered the size I always wear (10.5 US mens). They were too small in both width and length. I sent those back and ordered 11.5 which I just received. The fit is great. These are somewhat narrow shoes around mid foot, but the toe box allows for good toe splay. If you have a wide foot, I would avoid these shoes unless they are available in wide width. I would not run very far in these (they're not made for running), but short sprints, stairs, step work, etc will be fine.

I like them and they fit me perfect. I wish the tie material was different. It is a bit hard to tie and does not stay put because of the material. Plus the ties are bit shorter. Overall I am happy with them. Used already for more than 20 hours of table tennis and it does not badder my feet.

Perfect fit and extremely durable!

I love this shoe. I use it primarily for lifting weights, metcons and cardio sessions. I find that they are a more minimal feel underfoot and very secure. I usually wear Altras or Topos and I find these to be more similar to Topos as far as toe box and secure foot hold. I find these are so comfortable on my feet that I take any opportunity to wear these even when I’m not training. These mostly remind me of old school merrell barefoot shoes.

What do you do when your favorite cross trainer (Reebok Nano 2.0) has been out of production for years, and you can't find anyone that still sells that in your size? You get the Invo-8 F-Lite 235 V3.The specs are very similar to the Nano 2.0, and it doesn't have the ridiculously large flared out heal that seems to be all the rage these days.My only gripe with these shoes is the tongue is too thin. I get it, lightweight is a huge feature for Inov-8 shoes, but a little padding would eliminate some mild discomfort across the top of the foot. You probably won't notice it if only sweating the shoes for a workout, but if you have them on for several hours you can get some discomfort.Other than that the shoes are a great cross trainer.

I have slim feet and the fit is perfect. So far for the gym workouts, it's great. I haven't tried a short run, but I think a short run is fine, and extended run, not so much.

The only issue I had was with the laces being a awkward stretch material that always came undone

I really wanted to like these. It actually feels like I am wearing a dress shoe to the gym. I thought once they broke in they would be more flexible and comfortable. I could not wear them long enough to break them in. They were just too uncomfortable. I first tried a 10.5 but that felt tight so I returned and got an 11 and that seems too wide but there is nothing in between so I kept them in hopes I would like these. My other complaint about these sneakers are that they are toes do not match. See attached picture. The left one has a slightly pointed toe while the right is more squared off.

履き心地、動きやすさ、疲れにくさは、今まで履いた同価格帯のスニーカーと比較してもダントツに良いレベルで文句のつけようがありません。ただ1点最大の欠点は、靴紐の表面の加工感が滑りやすい事が原因で、靴紐が極めてほどけやすい事。この事に気が付いてから絞め殺さんばかりに力を入れて靴紐を結び、通常の靴紐ならほどけなくなるレベルで靴紐を締め上げていますが、それでも2時間に1回は靴紐を結び直さなければなりません。自分は普段使いですが、本来の用途であるサーキットトレーニングやトレイルランニング等で活用される方の場合は、それ以上の頻度で靴紐に悩まされると思います。靴紐自体の質は非常によいので、表面の滑りやすい加工だけをマイナーチェンジですぐ変更して頂きたいです。靴紐表面の滑りやすい加工感以外は文句のつけようがないレベルで高品質で、これからも代を重ねて愛用していきたい逸品なので、その点だけ切に希望致します。追記使用して数か月が経過しましたが、靴紐を締め上げ続けた結果、ようやく靴紐の緩みが改善されてきました。かといって紐自体はそれほどへたっていないので、紐の質を維持して表面の加工感の変更だけ切に希望します。

Great shoes really comfortable highly recommended. Great seller too fast delivery
