Excellent Basic Transaction
Boots ordered online over the weekend, despatched Monday, arrived Wednesday. Well packed - just a sealed bag around the OEM box. Arrived as described.
Lost a star because I had been in email contact with Inov8 re stock levels etc and knowing that I was going to place an order could have given me a heads up that the boots I wanted would feature in the Black Friday sale.
Re-gained the star as I procratinated and by the time I ordered, Black Friday sale was on and I saved 1/3rd :)

I’ve returned to inov8 after 10 years of non fell running because I remembered them as my favourite fell running brand and in 10 years they have got even better. Awesome product range that performs exceptionally and great staff in store who know their stuff

Phenomenal quality
After visiting the shop in the lake District, we decided to buy from the online store. The website is extremely efficient and the customer service in the shop was fantastic. Needless to say, the quality of the gear is incredible!

Service and quality from Inova least 30 pairs of Inov…
I have had a least 30 pairs of Inov shoes over the years, both trail running, road shoes and gym shoes. I have not been disappointed with any of my choices.
The shoes and indeed clothing have been delivered very promptly and I am more than happy with this aspect also. I have visited the Stavely store several times and have been very happy with the service that was provided. All of the people I dealt with have been knowledgeable and only too willing to pass this on to help me with my choices. Well done Inov 👏👏

Top rated work from Innov8
The staff at your Stavely shop took my old shoes for recycling and unexpectedly informed me of a 20% complimentary discount of which I was not aware! So thanks for that! The shoes arrived in 2 days which was excellent and like all Innov8 shoes look the real deal though I've yet to test them. G-grip has massively impressed me in the past so I expect no problems there! My only issue with Innov8 products in the past has been durability so I'm hoping to see improvement there.
