Disclosure:
*I’ve worked with Inov8 since 2020 and have been gifted their trainers and clothes. But I would not still be wearing them if they didn’t work.
I film all my challenges - and you can see how much wear and tear they go through.
My review is 100% honest. As much as I love Inov8 and highly recommend them. Their trainers have to work for YOU and everyone’s feet are slightly different. You need to test them out - and see how they fit.
On to the review.
The Camino Primitivo - the terrain was very standard; mountain paths, roads, gravel. Nothing out of the ordinary to really test the shoe.
Te Ararora Trail - South Island. I wore them all day, every day and they got battered and put through every terrain you could imagine.
Beaches, roads, mud, swamps, rocks, sea water, river water, gravel, concrete, cycle paths, dirt tracks, grassy fields, farm land etc.
Comfortable and lightweight
Managed the different elements super well
Waterproof - perfect for when I didn’t need to submerge my feet and I could rock hop, walk in the rain etc and keep my feet dry.
When the shoes were super wet - they still had grip - I was walking along river beds, or climbing up the river on boulders etc
Waterproof - when fully submerged and wet - it took ages for them to dry. They don’t dry with heat from a fire - you need sunshine
The shoe separated from the soul on the final day. The front of the shoes lifted off the base.
About 8k from the finish there was a hole in the bottom part of the shoe (not the soul) - I fixed it with a compeed plaster .
Amazing ️️️️!!!
