Visited the York store and was served by Charlie who was excellent. Friendly, helpful advice and good product knowledge. Delighted to find barefoot shoes in a UK store. Please make and stock more of them!

Make a B-line for Inov8 Bakewell
A warm, professional and friendly welcome at Inov8 Bakewell.
Expert advice was appreciated. I had a thorough walk through of a couple different shoe options which helped me match my requirements with the technical specifications. Even when you might think you may know what you want, it was helpful to explore all the different features on offer.
I couldn’t wait to have a romp in my new boots. They fitted like a glove and put a spring in my step!
Thank you team Inov8 Bakewell. Exceptional service and I will be back for more gear, especially one or two pieces which caught my eye in the well presented showroom.
If you we’re thinking of buying online or the high street mall, think again and make a B-line for Inov8 in Bakewell.
