Inov8 Terraultra 260 Trail Running Shoes

Innovation at its finest - a trail running shoe that delivers high levels of shock absorption without compromising on ground feel. Striking the perfect balance between superior comfort and flexible responsiveness, the TERRAULTRA 260 will be the go-to shoe for long distance trail runners and ultra runners in 2018.

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 Terraultra 260 Trail Running Shoes as Grade 5.

Exterofit Upper

Mesh uppers will encase each foot in durable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow; creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Exterofit technology reacts to the natural movement and swelling of the foot to provide an optimum, locked-in fit and superb comfort. The gusseted tongue and collar unite to supply next-to-skin comfort and an irritation-free fit, because we recognise how rubbing and blisters can ruin your day. Further protection comes from on the shoe gaiter hooks that offer a more secure attachment system that allows you to attach an all-terrain gaiter to the shoe (sold separately)

Exteroflow Midsole

Infused with exteroflow, the midsole provides high levels of underfoot cushioning without compromising on ground feel. The cushioning absorbs shock impacts minimising the shock when your foot hits the ground, allowing for a more efficient gait. A DFB shank delivers a kick of energy with each step helping you to move faster an more efficiently. The shank also minimises the 'windlass effect' reducing the risks of repetitive injury.

E-Grip Outsole

Inov8's E-grip outsole provides unparalleled grip keeping you grounded on hard trails. 4mm cleats, each with water dispersal channels, prevents aquaplaning and gives maximum grip on the wettest of trails whilst grooves in the outsole provide multidirectional flexibility. The zero drop ensures high levels of exteroception and allows the shoe to move naturally with the foot allowing for a natural gait. This zero-drop shoe makes you feel like you can run forever.
