2010 Summer Shoe Guide Homepage
This on- and off-road super-svelte racing flat is about as light as you can get without being called a trail slipper. Not a shoe for wide feet, the 230 will please those looking for a longer, narrower fit. This is a low-volume performance shoe with a snug fit, highly flexible feel and a low-profile racey performance. Recommended for lightweight, biomechanically sound and efficient-stride runners who want to feel the trail as they push for speed. inov-8.com
