Inov-8 Men Bare-XF 210 V3 - Minimal Barefoot Cross Training Shoes

Flat and pretty minimal. Good for lifting and walking, or just casual wear. I recommend!

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.

Ich kenne noch die Vorgängermodelle. Die waren wirklich gut. Mittlerweile verkauft Inov8 deutlich schlechte Qualität zu einem höheren Preis - zumindest was den Barfußtrainingsschuh angeht. Ich trage die Schuhe nur beim Fitness im Gym. Der Vorgänger hat bei mir fast zwei Jahre gehalten. Dieses Produkt hat keine drei Monate geschafft. Die Einlage löste sich in einem Schuh schon nach den ersten Kilometern. Am anderen löst sich an einer Stelle langsam die Sohle ab. Das Außenmaterial ist so beschädigt, dass man sehen kann, dass es nicht lange halten wird.Zusammengefasst: Ions8 hat mal gut Qualität produziert. Das ist nicht mehr der Fall. Dieser Schuh ist den Preis nicht wert.

Using it for my lifts (power-lifting). Also quite enjoy walking around with it. Zero-drop.

Few minor nits:- has a very long lace that opens up when you are running and can be a falling hazard- the front is little too lose but still good grip at the back so shoe stays firm
