This version reminds me on v1 & v2 nice and wide. The insole is a bit too much cushion for me and reduces the feel of barefoot. Please bring back the original insole. I took the insoles out and replaced them old insoles from v2 I had left. This new insole can be used for running.

Solid shoe, abit of stability for lifting but still barefoot feel. The insole is abit thick for my taste but even that can be taken out.

Hi
Dominik, Thank you so much for taking your time to leave this review. We really appreciate it :) All the best, the INOV8 team
Super happy with these - they fit amazingly well. My feet are considered wide and high volume, so most shoes feel like I'm shoving my feet into a torture device. Even Altra and Topo Athletic shoes can be a bit small for me, but inov8's wide size is super comfortable for my feet.

I used to buy the New Balance 10V1 shoe, but they stopped making it. I was looking for a good substitute and stumbled onto the Inov8 Bare XF. It looked pretty similar so I thought I would try them out. I ended up returning the first pair for a 1/2 size up, but the second pair fit great. They are very comfortable right out of the box and have the same feel as the 10V1. I am very happy with my purchase.

fantastic shoes - perfect fit for me, and the combination of flexibility, zero drop and comfort from the boomerang insole is rare. I am using these for Tai Chi and exercise, and have bought another pair for knocking around work to strengthen my feet up and down all the stairs.

Great shoe, quality plus looks! My first pair of Inov8, but I have had many pair of barefoot shoes. Pretty much all I wear. The only request would be is to make the toe box bigger. There is little room to stretch the toes.

These shoes are amazing! There is a certain balance the shoe brings especially with the wide fit and space for the toes. That is the answer to so many things when it's comes to working out and cross training. I have been recommending the shoes to everyone.
