## Description

MINIMALIST RUNNING / BAREFOOT RUNNING Light, responsive, fast. Legendary performances are empowered by the natural running characteristics of this shoe. Barefoot running is a different experience to running in a pair of traditional, cushioned trainers and these shoes try to replicate that experience. When using these shoes you will find that you run on your toes the whole time which uses different muscles and kinetics - if you haven't used them before you will notice a discernible strain on your calf muscles owing to the additional workload. Because of this it is suggested that you start training at a reduced mileage and steadily increasing over time. The shoes are extremely lightweight and low profile, helping to make you faster.

## Features

- 100% Synthetic/Mesh
- Imported
- Rubber sole
- 9mm heel-to-toe drop
- Dynamic Fascia Band supports the plantar fascia ligament
- Female-specific fit
- Designed to introduce the athlete to minimalist running, this offering from Inov-8 offers cushion and support with a lower drop to aid the transition to a new style.

    My third time buying these exact shoes!
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014*

I love these shoes! I usually wear a size 11 in women's (US) and these size 11's fit perfectly. I have a wide foot and I bought these because of their advertised width. I was not disappointed. I use these shoes for running, weight training, and movements that are common in home exercise programs such as INSANITY. These work great for all. These are the lightest shoes I've ever owned, my weight and height are 170lbs-5'10", so I always replace the insoles to increase the amount of cushioning. It's also nice b/c where I'm from, most people haven't heard of INOV-8, so I haven't seen anyone else wearing these same shoes as the gym.If I wasn't extremely happy with these shoes, I wouldn't have bought them for the third time.

    Great shoe
  

*by R***6 on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2014*

I love shoe so far. I have a fairly neutral foot strike but I also have a few issues that require me to wear a more cushioned shoe. Immediately after putting this shoe on you will notice how soft they feel. Not much on the way of support, but that is the shoes intent. When I was running I could still feel like I could feel the ground and my foot was guided to more of a toe strike, though not forced. I have only run in the shoes 4 times and have liked how each run felt. I am interested to see how they hold up on wear and tear. They are light and definitely make me feel faster than the clunky Asics cumulus I was wearing before.

    Best Shoes i've ever ordered online
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2014*

The first time I ran in these I felt like I was running on soft magical ground! Usually the first time I run in new shoes I get a blister or chafing of some kind on my foot, because I have wide feet and a bunion on one foot. These shoes were very accomodating to my wide foot and bunion. I recommend these for long distance. I'm using these to run my next half marathon in a few months. Good price too!
