Description

A minimalist shoe with a sticky rubber sole, the Inov-8 X-Talon 190 Trail Running Shoes are as close to barefoot you can get while still protecting and supporting your foot with springy, responsive foam. Built with a mesh upper, this unisex shoe is built on a performance last for a snug, precise fit that will decrease internal movement over uneven terrain. With a thin footbed that keeps your foot close to the ground in its most stable position, the midsole provides cushion and increases propulsion. A sticky rubber outsole may wear down a little faster than other rubbers, but it provides grip and traction on the trail that will keep you going strong. An improvement on its predecessor the 212, the Inov-8 X-Talon 190 Trail Running Shoe is engineered for elite runners who want a high performance, off road shoe that keeps their feet close to the ground for maximum power and speed.

X-Talon 190
March 15, 2012

I am a personal trainer and avid Obstacle Racer and I put my shoes through the ringer on a weekly basis. The X-talons have held up to the worst punishment I could dish out including full submersion in stinking Georgia Red clay mud and kept on trucking. The shoes are extremely lightweight even when wet and the traction is stupendous. My new Inov-8's are in a rotation of shoes that include New Balance Minimus MT20's and Adidas Kanadia's and I always look forward to their turn on the trails. I am a dedicated forefoot runner and minimalist and these shoes offer great feedback and agility on rough terrain. My only complaint was that many who purchased these told me to order a half size up for proper fit which I did. I should have just ordered my correct size. Other then that I have had no issues with the shoes and my next purchase will most likely be more Inov-8's.

Pros: affordable, lightweight, great traction, breathable, drains quickly
Cons: a little too large
