I have heard from MANY people that Inov-8 shoes are their favorite kicks for all sorts of running. From long road runs to crazy off-trail backcountry running to OCR races. Well, luckily for me, Inov-8 reached out and offered to let me review a few pairs, including these, the X-Talon 212 - one of Inov-8's best selling trail shoes! • This shoe is a beast. It's definitely geared for those runs that are going to take you in rough conditions. In fact, Inov-8 considers this shoe an Off-Trail runner. I'd consider this a shoe for weather, mud, crazy rock or scree, or OCR racing (tough mudder, spartan racing, etc). I defintely wouldn't consider this shoe a long-distance trail shoe (unless you're into the minimal, lugged out canvas leather racer). • While the outsole is super rugged and durable, the upper is thick, hot and non-compliant. The materials they use are obviously meant to be durable, but boy they drove me a little nuts on some of my hotter runs. Also know that this shoe is designed to be narrower throughout. They call it a race fit , I call it a climbing shoe fit. The whole last seems to bend more towards the big toe which is a classic climbing shoe move. It's to provide a more tactile feel on the rock wall. Here, I'm assuming it's to provide a more tactile feel on the obstacle wall. • While it's not my everyday cup of tea, I understand why this shoe exists and why some of you just love it. What do you think of the X-Talon 212?
