Inov8 - ROCLITE G 315 GTX V2

I’ve got a pair of Inov8 Roclite GTX. They might work. Big lugs, 6mm drop and available in a wide fitting. I only use them for walking and they feel to big and clumpy for running. I also get uncomfortable feet if I just wear them all day - I tend to be barefoot indoors and wear my old Kinvara 13s or zero drop trail shoes as knock around shoes outside. Tbh, I’m not a fan of the current inov8 range and marketing - but they might work so worth a try?

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.

Innov8 Roclite all the way for me. (Used to use Salomon speed cross)

Provided it's not too cold (below 6-7 Celsius), I would still choose trail runners in most situations regardless of the bog factor. Definitely agree with /u/pedrobobkat77, highly recommend inov8 roclites if they fit your foot shape.

I feel the 'new' range is just uninspiring and feels old fashioned. I tried the Trailfly Speed which was heavy with a dull foam. Standard Trailfly was heavier with more dull foam! They just aren't competitive with other shoes out there. La Sportiva Prodigio shows how a modern all round trail shoe should be (and it's been a massive success). It's a shameas they used to be one of my favourite shoe brands, I went through 4 pairs of the G270's loved that shoe. Numerous Roclite, Mudclaw, X-Talon. I just don't consider them as an option any more. I live in the Lake District and not many of my friends wear them either any more. Mudclaws used to be the go to. See a lot of VJ, Terrex, Nnormal, La Sportiva and Hoka now.

I used to be a big fan of inov-8, but now I rarely consider them when getting new shoes. The reason is that their changes in lineups and specific models are rarely for the better. Many of their old models were very good and very different from other brands and they would work well even to this day. The grip, fit and durability of for example original Roclites or Trailrocs was extremely good. The new models are just not as good.

Yeah, I LOVED the Roclite and haven’t found the newer models to be a suitable replacement. Though the G 270 felt pretty similar. It is interesting to hear people say the grip has not been as good, because I’ve been pretty pleased. But I also haven’t run too much in really wet conditions.

Funny you should say that, my Trailtalons have come off a couple of times since I got them in sticky deep mud. Never had it happen once with any of the now discontinued Roclites I've owned over almost 20 years since they first came out.

Ik loop de meeste wegkilometers ook op anti-pronatieschoenen, maar heb neutrale schoenen voor op trails en daar nergens last van. Je zet daar je voet veel vaker anders neer en gebruikt veel meer kleine spiertjes voor stabilisatie waardoor de belasting veel minder eenzijdig is. Loop zelf op de Inov-8 roclite op rotsachtig terrein (in de bergen dus) en hier in Nederland vaak op de Saucony Peregrines. Dat is een beetje middle-of-the-road (trail, heh) schoen die goed overweg kan met bospaadjes, nat gras, mul zand en modder. Beetje de gemiddelde Nederlandse trail dus.

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.
