Inov8 Roclite 290 Women's Trail Running Shoes

Run with confidence with Inov8's lightest, most flexible trail running shoes. The Roclite 290 is designed for running quickly over multi terrains. Delivering a responsive ride and high levels of durability, it's perfect for moving fast over wet mountain rock, hard-packed trails or even muddy grass.

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 Roclite 290 Trail Running Shoes as Grade 3.

Synthetic/Mesh Upper

A Synthetic and mesh upper as well as a mesh inner lining provides all round breathability and key ventilation, keeping your feet cool and dry through every step. Built around the natural anatomy of the foot, the ADAPTERWEB met-cradle adapts to the natural movement and swelling of the foot in motion and provides a better all round fit cradling the foot into every stride, whilst the Y-lock system holds the heel in place and offers support.

PowerFlow Midsole

Offering a cushioned ride is the two-piece POWERFLOW which delivers 10% better shock absorption and 15% better energy return than standard midsoles allowing you to run harder for longer. integrated into the midsole is Inov8's very own second-generation META-PLATE which is a rock plate that protects the underfoot from sharp rocks. The META-PLATE 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.
