I find my Inov8 Roclites have very good grip on wet rock and slippery terrain in general. Although I haven't seen them in that many outdoor shops I'm afraid. Some Go Outdoors do stock them, but it doesn't seem to be all of them.
r/UKhiking • Shoe recommendations - trail running/ hybrid approach shoes ->Innov8 Roclite all the way for me. (Used to use Salomon speed cross)
r/UKhiking • Which Salomon shoes are best for mixed hiking, waterproof, and flat feet (bonus if run-friendly)? ->Hello - I would say that the Prodigio Pro will feel a bit too squishy for general walking around. I walk the dogs in a pair of Salomon GTX Thundercross. They’re stable enough, comfy, and waterproof. The Ultraglide are also a good option. I’ve also had numerous Inov8 Roclite, Trailfly which are also good for hiking if you like zero drop. Hoka are also comfy if you stay clear of the racing shoes - Challenger ATR or Speedgoat. I also like the ASICS Fujilite for walking. I’d suggest avoiding the S/Lab Genesis, Tecton X3, Mafate 5, Prodigio Pro, Nike Trail Ultra, or anything with a PEBA Foam or really pronounced rocker. They will be too squishy, unstable and wobbly underfoot.
r/trailrunning • Shoe recommendation ->This is really useful for me! I got Inov-8 Roclites when the company was just starting up in Durham near where I lived in England at the time. Loved them and raved about them... but then when I went to replace the new Roclite shape didn't fit me at all... so I gave up on them. Reading about the Trailfly has got me all excited again that they might fit me now! "Inov-8’s new anatomical fit, which is going to be used for all their new shoes going forward and is currently used on the TrailFly, TrailFly Speed, Mudtalon and Mudtalon Speed has a much more rounded toe box than Inov-8’s previous shoes." Yes!
r/Ultralight • Wide toebox trail runners that aren't made by Altra or Topo? ->I've got Olympus but the lugs are still pretty shallow. I'm used to an original pair of Innov8 Roclites which are still like tractor tyres (albeit the Goretex failed and they are now glued together for dry walks). However the new Innov8 last shape I find really narrow in the mid and quite long in the toe so I sent them back. Anyone care to share thoughts on Salomon Speedcross or Thundercross as a muddy solution for Altra runners? My feet aren't super wide but I definitely prefer Altra sized toebox.
r/trailrunning • Best waterproof trail runners for wider feet that are NOT gortex? All of my gortex runners end up cracking and losing their waterproof abilities within a year of using them! I would prefer som leather runners that aren’t gortex if this is a thing. Recommendations please!!! ->Sportshoes is usually good for a bargain. I wear Inov8 Roclites a lot and can usually grab them in old colours on there for about half price.
r/UKhiking • Recommend trail runners for hiking under £80 please ->I’ve hiked a lot on Innov8 Roclites. They are designed for trail / fell running. Have been great for walking in Snowdonia. Handle wet mud, gravel rock. You can get them for about 90 quid. I like the aesthetic but obviously that’s totally subjective.
r/hikinggear • Hiking sneaker/trail runners suggestions? ->Inov8 with graphene has very good grip. Nike trail have no grip at all
r/trailrunning • The best wet rock grip, Arcteryx, Adidas, Salomon, Altra, LaSportiva, Icebug, VJ ->Topo mtn racer has better grip. Inov8 has better grip also; Trailfly for hard trails and Mudfly for wet/mud.
r/trailrunning • What to choose as second shoes? ->Don’t know of any places that offer that kind of support but you could try inov8. They’re outsoles are supposed to be tough. The ones I’ve used fell apart before the sole showed any wear. They’re sizing isn’t very consistent though so worth trying in a shop if you can find them.
r/trailrunning • Getting back to running after paralysis: check ✅ / Making my shoes last more than 3 months: not check ->VJ or Inov8 both are wider and VJ has the best rubber on the market
r/trailrunning • Nike ACG Ultrafly 2 ! ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
