Went in looking for new road running…
Went in looking for new road running shoes. Chris gave us plenty of time and expert advice and I’m delighted with my new pair of trainers. Thank you.

Runners required !
Prompt post to me. Pretty good returns service, you have to pay a return post but royal mail is £2.99 did a bit more.
Shoes kept are good trailfly women's zero drop and also 4mm ones.
They last pretty well for trail shoes, versatile and comfy. Ok for trail walks too.
I didn't size up an extra half size as recommended on Inov8 website as I found 38.5 in my old shoes a bit big . These are very good fit for me.

Love my boots
Love my boots! Couldn’t find a good fit for months and these are very comfortable. I had to return and exchange for size and even though I am in the US, all went smoothly. I appreciate your professionalism.

Fast fashion - best avoided
My boots were both light and grippy however both the left and right boot failed after less than 200 miles of walking . The boot material started coming away from the soles.
My previous boots from different brands lasted considerably longer (5x!))
I won't be buying Inov8 again.

Inov8 Bare FX the best indoor rowing shoes
This is my second pair of Inov8 Bare FX and I love them. i rowed 5m meters on an erg in my first pair and they are perfect for this. Now they have more fantastic colours I feel good and my feet look good. Amazing quality footwear, a little pricey but absolutely worth it. Easy ordering and fast and reliable delivery.

Delivery to my rural town is tough…
Delivery to my rural town is difficult sometimes. Customer service reached out for shipping to verify my address shipping address.
I needed an exchange for a larger size and return shipping wouldn’t automatically generate for the same reason. Customer service reached out and then followed up quickly and very friendly.

Great shoes and experience with Innov8
The ordering process to final delivery was very smooth.
The shoes themselves are a great fit although a very roomy toe box. I have wide feet, but even so these were very generous.

Really appreciated the advice I received to make sure I got the right trainer for what I was looking for and the right size. I went in thinking I needed one thing and came out with something different but exactly right for me.

This is my second pair of INOV8 F LITE shoes. I bought a pair of the F LITE ‘s and couldn’t believe how comfortable they are. And that they offer so much support throughout the movements in my workouts. I had to buy as second pair.
