Inov8 F-LITE 260 Women's Training Shoes

The Inov8 F-LITE 260 Women's Training Shoes feature enhanced underfoot cushioning making runs easier than ever before. The Rope-Tec protection and Powerflow midsole ensure you will have the best comfort and protection needed for all workouts in the gym.

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 Training Shoes as Grade 5.

Breathable Mesh Upper

The F-Lite 260 features a lightweight mesh upper with an improved fit. The Mesh allows air to permeate, ensuring your feet stay cool and comfortable when the temperature starts to rise. In addition, next-generation meta-flex technology is added, combined with optimal multi-directional flexibility moves with the foot, both forward and laterally. This mid-foot lockdown system ensures the shoe moves fast with your every step.

You now get more support from the external heel cage system that wraps around the rear of the shoe and provides support in the heel. Lastly, a welded rubber toe bumper protects the toes when doing burpees or other movements that could potentially harm the toes.

Powerflow Midsole

The powerflow midsole delivers 10% better shock absorption and 15% better energy return than standard midsole units. The powerflow works by absorbing the energy caused by shock and impact forces through the heel strike phase of the gait cycle. At this point, the midsole unit transfers the harnessed energy to the forefoot area where it pushes you off into your next step providing exceptional energy return.

StickyGrip Rubber Outsole

Utilised into the outsole is Inov-8's Sticky rubber compound has been specially developed using climbing rubber technology. The Rope-tec system delivers traction and durability on rope climbs and descents as well as optimising grip in wet conditions, providing superior floor fighting traction.

The F-Lite 260 features a new to the industry outsole rubber compound unique to Inov8 called StickyGrip. This rubber compound delivers better traction than its predecessor over both wet and dry underfoot conditions. The StickyGrip rubber outsole delivers outstanding underfoot grip for every workout.
