The shoe is very comfortable
The shoe is very comfortable. It fit true to size and has a nice footshaped toe box for plenty of room for my toes. They feel perfect for everyday runs or long runs.

Highly recommend
Shoes arrived quickly and delighted with them. Great fit, snug around the heel and midsection but spacious around the toes. I forget I’m wearing inov8 shoes, because they fit so well, allowing me to focus on other things. Highly recommend.

Friendly, helpful staff, and a great range of products.
I visited the Bakewell store this morning and bought a pair of trainers for hiking.
The gentleman who served me was very knowledgeable on the footwear range, and extremely helpful. He allowed me to try on multiple models and sizes of trainer, and gave valuable insight into the similarities and differences between them.
He was welcoming, relaxed, and there was no hard sell on anything.
With his help I narrowed my search down to a particular model.
My shopping experience was all positive, and I look forward to breaking in my new trainers in preparation for an upcoming long-distance hike.
I have no hesitation in recommending this store.

I bought some gaiters for an Ultra race after a recommendation to prevent grit and sand getting in my shoes. I ordered Medium, however I struggled to get them off after as the front clip goes in a slot on the shoe. Good for no grit in the heel but they don’t cover the toes area. Order came promptly. Products are well made

These barefoot shoes have completely changed the way I train. My mobility has improved significantly, and I feel much more connected to the ground.
For weightlifting, they are simply the best shoes I’ve ever used. Stable, comfortable, and allowing natural foot movement.
Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend them!
