Inov-8 Men's Roclite G 290 V2 Lightweight Graphene G-Grip Trail Running Shoes

walking

Although the toe box had more room, the overall shoe felt too big in length, especially as I walked around in them (like walking in long shoes).

The current generation, this toe protection actually comes to below the toe - even with a snug toe box - providing little to no toe protections if you stub that shoe into something as you are walking or running.

Somehow, if used heavily in rugged trail running or walking, I would think these eyelets would give way quickly and tear off the shoe.

The sole grips wore out very quickly at the heel areas, much more quickly then expected - compared to other trainers and walking shoes I have worn.

I've lowered the rating from 4 stars to 3 stars as these trail running shoes didn't last at least two years of moderate wear as light walking shoes.

At first, I thought the pair I bought might be too snug in the toe box, a lot less room than what I am use to with Columbia Peakfreaks.

* The toe box needs to be a bit bigger so that it doesn't feel so snug, like good quality running shoes.

Even after a few weeks, I still have the feeling that the toe box is too snug,

washing

but "dry" feet from the outside elements.

Shoe laces are thin and very delicate, and did not survive the first washing machine cleaning very well.

The shoe lace tips wore off in the washer, so had to use tape to keep the worn ends together.

Since the are not water-proof, sand and dust gets into the shoes easily, hence the washing machine cleaning.

The 290s are light and have incredible traction, and are exceptionally breathable.

These are the best overall shoes for jogging and trekking that I have ever owned.

Very Good Trail Runner
I've been a big fan of Inov8 since 2015 when I hiked part of the PCT.

Also fine for climbing rough Scottish hills often pathless.

but I foresee them staying as my <10 mile light hikers and runners.

Fit perfectly
The toe box is roomy and doesn't bunch my toes or rub too hard on the widest part of my foot,

unstable

but base is a bit narrow/unstable
The base of these seems a bit unsteady and the ankle cutouts push up into my ankle a bit.

sole damage

The soles get torn up relatively easily from the studs on the pedals, and I’ve had to replace them more often than I initially expected.

great grip on the pedals and on the trail
perfect backcountry exploration ride or hike-a-bike footwear for when you are riding and hiking a lot on a trail.

They are extremely breathable with mesh at the toe and sides that are so well vented that light shines right through.

The mid tops are bit more comfortable on the ankle.

But, unlike the other 5-10s, they’re also comfortable to wear when off the bike.

Easy to walk in, providing comfortable hike-a-bike capabilities.

They grip really well,  so much better than just my Solomon shoes, walking,  or hiking shoes that I've been using.

Adidas Five Ten
Five Ten's powerful pedal gripping is very good for hiking

but not so overly rigid to make walking awkward like other nike shoes.
