Inov8 Bare-XF V2 Men's Training Shoes (Wide Fit)
Built to let your feet walk the walk, Inov8's minimalist BARE-XF V2 gives you a close-to-the-ground/barefoot feel when working out. Whether lifting, functional fitness, running or walking, the BARE-XF V2 offers a perfect blend of freedom and protection, less shoe, more you.
Air Mesh Upper
Just like the previous iteration, the Bare-XF V2 have been constructed from highly breathable air mesh fabric. The materials encourage cool air to circulate while releasing built-up heat, keeping feet cool and comfortable when things get intense. An upgraded ROPE-TEC MET-CRADLE system has been introduced to protect against rope friction and improve the overall durability of the shoes, while increasing lockdown and providing a secure feel in both the heel and the midfoot. A traditional lacing system locks down the midfoot, reducing in-shoe movement for improved confidence and control. All new KPU overlays replace the 3D overlays from the first generation, again enhancing the protection and durability of the shoe, protecting the foot from knocks and scrapes whilst you navigate the gym. Inov8's new NATURALFIT enhances this natural feel too, with a wide toe box that allows your toes to splay and feet to feel free, adapting to any exercise.
A new shape, featuring on all-new Inov8 footwear, has been designed to hug the natural contours of your foot, locking in at the heel and widening at the toes. This new design brings more comfort, greater confidence and unhindered performance. Incorporated within this new shape are two new fits: Standard Fit for a closer feel and extra nimbleness over tricky terrain, and Wide for a relaxed feel and extra comfort over longer distances.
Sticky Rubber Outsole
The Bare-XF V2 is a minimalist training shoe with no midsole; however, residing underfoot, there is a new and improved BOOMERANG footbed that is even lighter than the one in the previous model, which provides just as much cushioning and energy return. The shoe also offers zero drop, for a close-to-the-ground feel when working out for better proprioception and natural footing. A sticky 2.5mm rubber outsole offers grip and traction, whether you're lifting heavy or performing high-impact movements, making them perfect for HIIT or circuit training.
