Mountain goats inspire Inov8’s versatile range
UK sports brand Inov8 has launched its most versatile trail running shoe range, with lugs shaped like the hooves of mountain goats and infused with graphene.
The Trailtalon range sits between the Trailfly series, with its 4mm lugs designed for hard trail grip, and the Mudtalon range, with its 8mm lugs designed for muddy grip.
INOV8 athlete Andy Berry, the winner of several high-profile trail and ultra running, said: “I didn’t think it was possible for a running shoe to do it all, from the highest alpine trails to the ruggedness of Scottish hills and the day-to-day miles on woodland tracks.”
Each is based on a new anatomical foot-shaped design and enhanced locked-in fit. All share the same grip pattern and underfoot foam.
The Trailtalon and Trailtalon GTX shoes are built the same, except the GTX includes a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane. The Trailtalon Speed has less cushioning, allowing the foot to sit closer to the ground for a faster feel and is lighter.
