Inov8 F-Lite 260 Knit Training Shoes

With supreme stability matched with solid grip and traction, the Inov8 F-Lite 260 Knit Training Shoes is the perfect companion for intense workouts and training.

Inov8 Shoe Fit Scale

For technical footwear, a good fit is essential to enhance your performance. Inov8's new Shoe Fit Scale makes it easier to find the perfect fitting shoe. All Inov8 shoes are designed with Met-Cradle technology to lock down the mid-foot for a stable hold, where they differ is in the toe box. The shoes are now graded from 1 to 5, Grade 1 representing their closest, most precise fit and Grade 5 representing the widest fitting toe box.

The lower the number on the scale, the narrower the fit, which ensures minimal internal movement of the foot when running fast on technical terrain. Shoes with the higher numbers on the scale will suit athletes with a wider foot and those wanting that extra comfort in the toe box. This wider toe box allows the toes to splay for increased stability when lifting heavy weights. It's also perfect for longer runs and races when toes begin to swell.

Inov8 have graded the F-Lite 260 Knit Training Shoes as Grade 5.

Breathable Knit Upper

The knitted material on the upper of the F-Lite 260 is extremely lightweight, which helps to keep the shoes as light as possible. This will make you feel like you have nothing holding you back during training sessions. As well as this, air can flow in and out of the breathable mesh, which will keep the feet feeling comfortable and fresh. Thicker knit overlays are positioned in high wear zones, protecting the shoes from damage from repetitive movements. The upper moulds to the foot shape, holding you in a comfortable and secure position, which will ensure that your foot will stay held in place. Firm at the back, the heel is protected by being cupped into a position that won't move or slip out of place. Up the foot laces and a soft padded mesh tongue will make finding the perfect and comfortable fit easy to achieve. As well as the tongue, the collar is also padded which will improve comfort and reduce the risk of irritation through rubbing and chafing.

EVA Midsole

Within the midsole, there is injected EVA that has protective and comfortable benefits. Towards the top, the EVA is soft and gently, which will increase comfort, as it softens downward pressure. This will be especially beneficial as you begin to lift weights or increase the intensity of the workout as you won't be feeling any unnecessary pain on your feet. In addition, the EVA towards the bottom of the midsole is shock absorbing, which is then returned as rebound energy. Not only will this protect your feet, but you will also benefit from the energy produced down to the extremely reactive midsole. Within the shoe, there is a soft insole and sockliner. This will mould to your foot shape over time. It will also wick sweat away keeping you feeling fresh, and it is designed to reduce the risk of blisters through hotspots. The low profile and heel to toe drop of the midsole will stabilise the foot, with the dense heel making it the ideal for weightlifting.
