I decided to try this brand as something new. I’ve been running I’ve been running for over 15 years. Ran competitively in college. These shoes are very uncomfortable to run in. I honestly feel like these are made more so for a competition race versus wearing them on a daily run. I’ve never had so much pain in my soleous as I did wearing these while running....to the point I couldn’t run for three or four days after wearing these for an easy 4 mile run. However, these shoes are at least good for lifting in. I wouldn’t recommend these to other runners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good - tighter upper than my other Inov-8
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016
Size: 9Color: Blue/Navy/BerryVerified Purchase
Thanks to the other reviewers I ordered a size 9 (I wear an 8 in Newtons and 8.5 in Altras). The toe box is roomy and the heel is secure. I originally said the insole was not removable, but I was wrong - it was just in there very tight. A minor drawback is a stiff piece which goes over the top of where the laces begin. Eventually it stretched out. I have very finicky feet so this may not bother other runners.

Overall the Roadclaw, although not over-cushioned, feels very springy and flexible and my toes can splay. That is exactly what I was looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoe
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2017
Size: 10Color: Blue/Navy/BerryVerified Purchase
I bought these for running. I needed a shoe with a wide toe box, but not a wide shoe. These are perfect, they fit much line the new balance minimus as far as the foot shape. They aren't heavy or clunky, very breathable. I have also worn them walking and working, they are quite durable. I had a pair of Nike tr free and they made the ball of my foot hurt, and I could feel it in my knees and back. But these are super comfy and supportive, just enough arch support without feeling crowded. I think I might buy this brand in a cross trainer too. This was my first experience with this brand after many NB shoes, but these seem to last a bit longer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for trails, less great for road.
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017

GOOD STUFF: I was hoping for a rugged running shoe that could handle road and trail. The grips on the bottom of the shoe do not disappoint. There's no slip when sidewalk/road running, and trail running is a breeze. I even took these on the beach, and found that they did not lose integrity when they got slightly wet. The fit is as expected - I bought size 8 and consider it to be a true 8. BAD STUFF: These are very stiff. I had hoped for more cushion because I'm a neutral to under pronator runner and some extra cushion is appreciated. These are OK, but I definitely feel the impact from the road. I'll keep running in the them until its time for new shoes, then look for something else. Previously I've used Mizuno, Asics and Brooks shoes. I REALLY liked Inov8's F-lite 235 V2 for lifting, so I wanted to try their running shoe out. If you are a runner who likes stability with their cushioning, then these shoes might be perfect for you. I just prefer a touch more cushion in the heel. ME: 5'2" female, 165lbs, 7:56-8:10 mile in my old shoes, 8:20-8:40 mile in these shoes.

Fit is true to size and they’re extremely comfortable. I often wear barefoot running shoes, but for rocky trails or when I feel like a bit more cushion, these can’t be beat!

5.0 out of 5 stars typical inov8 shoes... BRILLIANT!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
I based my size on my inov8 trail shoes - they're a 5 and on one foot my toe was touching the end, so although they 'fit' I went up half a size for these. My non-trainer shoes I usually wear a 5 (eu38).
I love these. I was a little worried as I pronate (as does most of the population) and have multiple joint issues (ankles and hips more than knees) As inov8s are recommended for neutral runners, but I haven't had any problems running so far in these (though so far just on a treadmill as I didn't want to be out and about with blisters) - I've done about 10km in them so far this week.

Size: 6.5Color: Purple/Black/PinkVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
長距離種目競技者からウォーキングやジョギングを楽しむ人まで、幅広く活用できるランニングシューズ。

ランニングシューズなのでつま先にキツさは感じないものの、幅や高さはキッチリめ。サイズは大きめを買い後から調整したほうが良さそう。

全体的に高級感があり、一つ一つのパーツが丈夫で凝った作り。履いてから足への負担が軽減されるらしく、運動量が増えても疲労はそれほど感じられなくなる。

一歩一歩の足運びがスムーズになり、前に積極的に足が出ていく印象。
メッシュ加工やソールのクッション性、裏のグリップ感など、ランニングに必要な要素が一通り網羅されているので、とりあえずいい疲れにくいランニングシューズが欲しければ買いの商品。少し値は張るがそれに見合った性能は発揮してくれそう。

デザインは足裏マークなどが少し奇抜だが、あからさまにランニングシューズっぽく見えるのでタウンユースしなければ何も問題ない。

ポケモンGOにはまる年配の女性も増えてきているのでプレゼント何かにも良さそう。

3.0 out of 5 stars 初Inov-8シューズ
Reviewed in Japan on July 31, 2016

ナチュラルラン志向のシューズとして気になっていたInov-8のロードクロウが安く買えたので試してみました。サイズは一度試着していたので、履いた時は問題なかったのですが、走ってみないと本当のフィッティングはわからないですね。踵が少し緩いようで軽く靴擦れになりました。な慣れると治まると思うのでもう少し慣らしながら走ってみるつもりです。10㎞ジョグでは、クッションは硬めの印象です。歩いていると柔らかいですが、走りだすとソールの硬さを感じます。安定感もあるので感触は悪くないです。ソールが曲がりやすいので他のメーカーと異なった感覚です。ソールの厚みがあっても足指も含めて動いている感覚で走っているのでナチュラルランの練習には良いのかもしれません。
