Inov8 used to create durable shoes for fitness. These shoes feel cheap and fit extra small even for inov8.

My umpteenth pair of Inov-8 shoes, my second pair of this model. As usual, they're fantasti in terms of comfort, functionality and build.

This is a flexible, low profile, no lift show but has pointy toe box instead of the needed barefoot wide toe box. It’s a good shoe but the toe squish is real. So if you are starting out new to barefoot minimalist shoes I think maybe this could work, but there are better options for full comfort. INOV has the benefit of being quality so that is why this is 2 instead of 1 star. But this style was a flop for me…

I've worn out one pair of these shoes and gotten a replacement since I like them so much. I like the low profile, almost barefoot feel of them for weight lifting. I go up half a size from my normal 8.5 to a 9 to give myself a little extra room in the toe box, but that is more personal preference (I do the same for hiking boots). I think the shoes run true to size.

No way these are a women's 9- I wear 8.5 in Brooks and most other shoes, 9 in Nike. I ordered a 9 in these and the toe box is stupid narrow and the length feels like an 8I like the offsite color but have to send back

I wear a 7.5 in regular shoes and purchased 7.5. Excellent fit. I wore New Balance Minimus in the past but they changed the shoe completely so I switched to these. I'm using these for lifting and CrossFit. These can't not be thrown into the wash machine like the Minimus shoes due to the padding and material but they are extremely comfortable.I've been wearing barefoot shoes for 7+ years for wet mud trail running, CrossFit and lifting. These are great replaced for Crossfit and lifting. I WON'T use them for mud trails because they will get smelly if you wash them.They are similar to an indoor soccer shoe but definitely more comfortable.New to Barefoot?If you do not use flat or barefoot shoes, it will take a week or two to get use to them. I suggest wearing them "around the house" for a few weeks before using them to workout in. (I actually do this to break in new barefoot shoe.) You'll be using different muscles in your feet so if you start off doing intense exercises, you may get cramps or have really sore feet.

I am pleasantly pleased with these shoes. I usually wear and workout in Merrell Vapor Glove barefoot shoes, however, I tend wear them out within 3-6 months. That’s not cost effective at all. So I did some research and found these mentioned in the CrossFit/weightlifting community. I love them. They are comfortable, fit like a glove, have more arch support without being squishy or overly padded inside. Great for work, play, gym. So far they are holding up great with frequent wearing. Will by them again.

Innov8 shoes have been my go-to athletic shoe brand for the last 15 years. These are light, flexible and have minimal support so they're great for high intensity training, weight lifting or short distance running. My only complaint with these is the insoles wouldn't stay in place. Once I took care of that issue they're a 5-star shoe for sure and I would buy them again.

Good Gym/Workout shoes - do not pinch my somewhat square toes and grip my heels well, so I no longer end up having to kick my shoes off doing some of the excercises.
