Inov8 Trailfly G 270 Trail Running Shoes

The Trailfly G 270 trail running shoe is the footwear of choice for many top ultra-runners. A showcase of Inov8's performance-enhancing technologies, the TrailFly is the ultimate shoe for tackling long distances at speed.

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 Trailfly G 270 Trail Running Shoes as Grade 5.

Durable Upper

Utilising premium materials through the upper construction of the G 270s, these shoes boost protection and durability for ensuring feet remain comfortable throughout. The mesh provided in the upper will allow for your feet optimal airflow in, and out of the shoes, by allowing warm air to escape, and cool air to enter, curating the perfect microclimate for your feet. This will work constantly over a long period of time, keeping you feeling cool and comfortable over long miles. The upper is also designed to provide the foot with complete protection from any bumps or knocks. A wide toe-box allows you to remain comfortable, and a forefoot rand enhances the durability of the shoes, whilst also keeping them protected. Finally, a lightweight tongue shapes to the foot for a locked-in fit and a traditional lacing system further ensures that feet are secure inside the shoes.

Powerflow Max Midsole

The midsoles of the Trailfly G 270 is constructed from Powerflow Max midsole foam, which provides you with ultimate comfort. The midsole foam technology delivers a greater bounce as well as, exceptional energy return. Not only this, but the materials offer you excellent durability, and shape retention for the perfect cushioned fit. Additionally, a Boomerang insole is made from expanded Thermo Polyurethane balls which work to compress and spring back for 40% more energy return than any previous insoles. The effective cushioning of the midsole will mean that joints like the knees and ankles will have reduced impact, preventing injuries and fatigue from occurring. Shocks are also absorbed instantly and effectively, reducing the risk of injuries from heavy or sharp impacts against the sole of the foot.

Graphene Outsole

Featuring a Graphene-Grip rubber outsole, this delivers the ultimate in control and traction on the world's toughest trails. The Graphene is able to form an extremely strong grip with a wide range of different surfaces, guaranteeing complete control on uncertain terrain. Naturally tough in its nature, the outsole will maintain its shape and definition over a long period of time. By being so tough, the outsole will remain functional and effective over both the long run and over time. The detailed 4mm lug construction and design will further anchor the feet in place, keeping you feeling secure and ensuring a solid and strong base to push on from on take-offs, providing confidence on landings and control when changing directions.

What Is Graphene Grip?

The revolutionary Graphene Grip technology is the toughest and most durable outsole compound that Inov8 has ever created, arguably the toughest and most durable outsole compound on earth. Graphene Grip is scientifically proven to be 50% stronger, 50% more elastic, and 50% harder wearing. Inov8 has gone from using 3 compounds with varying levels of grip vs durability to 1 compound which is Inov8's most sticky but durable outsole yet.
