The @inov8__ Roadfly is the latest road-running offering from Inov8! It features a wildly comfortable anatomical toe box so your feet have plenty of room to be feet, and a firm, yet at the same time, soft ride. It's a fun running shoe that will work for a lot of runners.

Tried their new inov8 trailfly. I love it. Ive ran in Saucony and Altra before. The sauconys had a good drop 8mm but too narrow toe box. Altra had an amazing toe box but I dont like the zero drop. Its a good compromise I think alot of people would appreciate.
I think you're right about Inov8 being a great option for a lot of people. I'm glad the Trailfly are working so well for you!
I use the Inov8 Trailfly g 270 v2 and love them.
All ways got injured when I tried to get into running and I'd give up.
This time around it's been nearly at a full year with no problems.
I guess zero drop suits me.
I'll have to get some road shoes I might look at those zero drop ones you showed.
Good to hear you've been on such a long stretch without injury! Yeah, it could be that zero drop works best for you!
just ordered them at 88 euros1 Cant wait to try them out. U and Sagasu Running made me buy them (to kinda "counter" my Superblasts^^). Nice review, thanks!
@@MaxPiefke Nice! €88 sounds like a good deal! I’d love to hear your thoughts after a few runs if you think of it!
Where did you find them at that price @maxpiefke?
I'm excited about these as I'm a huge fan of Inov-8 trail runners but they didn't have anything really exciting for road running. I'll definitely be picking up a pair of these when they release.
Nice. I'd love to hear your thoughts after a few runs in them!
Once Ive sorted my correct size in the Trailfly I will definitely be picking these up. The Trailfly fit me narrow in midfoot and short in length fyi. So tried my normal 10uk(a bit short and narrow), 10.5uk(pretty much identical in size to 10) and 11 (too long). Have now ordered 10.5wide and hope 4th times the charm!😅 Inov8 claim these have been designed for uneven roads, which here in rural West of England there are plenty! Seems crazy running in shoes like Novablast and Superblast in these back lanes when I cant really get into my stride. I need grip, stability and just a bit of cushioning. Nice one Inov8.
@@TomUK7 I suppose it’ll be worth it when you nail down the sizing correctly. Glad to hear they’re going to work well for you (once you actually get them). Yeah, a lot of those Nova/Supernlast-type shoes really only excel in very smooth and even ground.
Try choosing your true to size in Euro sizing… seems to work for me.
I use inov-8 shoes for trail running (TerraUltra 270), road to trail (parkclaw 280), hiking (Roclite 400 & 345) and gym work (f-lite 260). Apart from some issues regarding waterproofing on the hiking boots they've all been excellent and I'm looking forward to trying out the roadfly range when it's available from the website.
@@enkaytee-01 Good to hear you’ve had an overall great experience. 💫
The boomerang footbed is a whopping 35 grams in my uk size 9. Ive got a few pairs of their trail shoes and the fit is perfect. If they were just a little bit lighter
@@pete801 Yeah, weight is usually something we can ding shoes on. At least they’ve got room for improvement!
Low drop or zero drop is perfect offroad etc because that is how we evolved. However we did not evolve to run on pavements.. I need 6-8mm real drop for the road. Of course drop is dynamic depending on where you land and how soft the midsole is..
@@i.p2088 It seems a lot of runners forget that drop is dynamic and could even differ for different people.
Have been waiting for Innov-8 to get into the road marketshoe market.
Now’s the time! Expect a few more coming out soon! 👊🏽
Do you think it would be a good option for long walks on concrete? Seems like a good combo of toe box, drop and padding level for that use.
Yes, I think they would work well for walking. They're definitely comfortable enough! There is also a good amount of outsole rubber, so they should last a while. I find I wear down my shoes faster when I walk in them.
Had one and only pair of Inov-8 that caused me PF. I don't recall the model. This was 10 years ago. I blocked it out of my mind.
There's only one chance to make a first impression.🤷🏻♂
@@its_Matt_B_ indeed
Would these be good for daily walking shoes? I have running shoes but prefer my everyday shouts to be 6mm or lower stack and wide toe box.
Yes, these would certainly work well for walking, and very comfortable. There is also a lot of oursole rubber, so they'll likely last a while. I often find that walking in shoes puts more wear on the outsole than running does.
