Inov8 Park Claw 275 Running Shoes
Run with confidence on paths and trails with Inov8's new trail running shoes. The Parkclaw 275 is the perfect shoe for runners wanting to run on paths and trails, or those looking to make a transition from road running to trail running.
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 Park Claw 275 Running Shoes as Grade 5.
Synthetic/Mesh Upper
The Upper of the parkclaw 275 is constructed using mesh fabric that allows air to permeate, ensuring your feet stay cool and comfortable when the temperature starts to rise. Additionally, synthetic materials work in tandem with the laces to provide you with a nice midfoot lockdown fit, keeping you tight within the shoe preventing any unwanted slipping but not tight enough that it makes you feel uncomfortable.
The upper features protective and durable materials that are better suited to handling trail debris and environments. The external heel counter wraps around the rear of the shoe and provides support in the heel delivering this extra hold aids foot stability and helps a fatigued runner maintain a better gait. The durable material is added to the front of the shoe where you are more prone to stub and hit debris preventing you from ending your run short.
Powerflow+ Midsole
Now you can run effortlessly over any road conditions with the new powerflow+ midsole technology. Powerflow+ delivers 10% better shock absorption and 25% better energy return than standard midsoles. The midsole unit absorbs shock and impact forces, then transfers the energy that it creates to the forefoot where it can propel you off into your next step. integrated into the midsole is Inov8's very own DFB Shank which is a rock plate that protects the underfoot from sharp rocks. The Shank aligns behind the metatarsals for greater forefoot flexibility and control when contouring, whilst retaining underfoot impact protection.
Tri-C Rubber Outsole
featuring Inov8's Tri-C rubber compound and multi-directional claw-shaped outsole provides an unrivalled grip over unpredictable terrain and the quick release of debris. Every ounce of energy generated by the body is transferred to the road through the outsole, with the Tri-C outsole delivering traction throughout the gait cycle. The sticky fusion compound is a mix of synthetic rubber and EVA foam for a smooth ride and grip on an array of surfaces whilst the meta-flex groove is located at the forefoot to encourage natural forefoot flex during the toe-off phase of the gait cycle.
