Customers have mixed opinions about the stability of the shoes. Some mention that it's a very stable shoe that works well for both running and lifting, while others say that it fell apart in two months. The shoes are very thin and have shown some wear and tear quickly from running outdoors. The soul that wraps up the front started to peel back after wearing for 4 weeks. The sides of the shoe are breaking open on both sides of both shoes, and the front tips on both shoes began peeling off.

"Didn't hold up well at all. Company did send replacement pair, but I think the design is flawed for this model." Read more

Awesome shoe, feels like a sock with a sole. Foot can breathe. So far it is holding up, but don't know about rope climbs. I would think the top fabric would get ripped up so I put my Nanos on for that. For a training shoe and everyday shoe they are awesome, super light and going to buy another pair in a different color. Highly recommend.

Shoes are a little tight in the toe box. I ordered 9.5, I wear a 9.5 in two other Inov-8 shoes. I think they will be fine with some breaking in. Have over 10 miles and 3 WODs in them and so far they are great.

First pair of minimalist shoes. Took me a day to get used to the sole support (heel is higher than I'm used to but conforms quickly once you break it in). It's a very stable shoe that works well for both running and lifting, as well as light and comfy for everyday use. Color does not match well though.

2.0 out of 5 stars Loved it at first...
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2016
Size: 9 WideColor: Blue/Chilli/WhiteVerified Purchase
At first, I loved these shoes. I had never really researched shoes much before and had just been on the Nike bandwagon, but I decided to find the shoe that would fit me the best for cross-training and general use and landed on this shoe because it had everything I wanted from a low drop to the ideal amount of grip for my feet. I would wear them mostly for my office work and occasionally for some casual sports or hiking but I think my use was on the lower side because I still wore other shoes. While they were still fully intact, they performed much better than my previous Nike shoes.

Unfortunately about 4 months in, the front tips on both shoes began peeling off and now have almost completely separated. I splay my toes a bit, but this standard fit is supposed to account for that and yet there are good-sized holes on both shoes where my pinky toe makes contact with the inner. If you look at the pictures you can see that though its not pretty, it hasn't severely impacted the usefulness yet. However, I was looking for a higher quality shoe in Inov-8 and I'm seriously sad that my first foray into a less mainstream brand that was so highly reviewed has yielded such a poor result. Based on the past couple months, I know those holes and rips will only get bigger with my mild use and they probably won't even last a year. To give proper context, my Nike shoes went through a similar amount of use for over a year and hardly look any different.

If anyone knows if their updated lines solves these issues, please let me know. Otherwise I won't be purchasing from them again :/

Love these shoes. I wear them primarily for running. They're nice and light, loads of room in the toe box, flexible, minimal heel to toe drop, and a little (but not too much) cushion. I've worn my first pair for a couple of marathons (as well as the long runs leading up to them), and this pair will get me through a couple more.
