Fast grip without feeling like a specialist mud shoe

Inov8 says: 

Move quickly over soft ground in the TRAILTALON trail running shoes. Built for running on tough, mixed terrain, the TRAILTALON is an evolution of our hugely popular ROCLITE range and excels on any surface.

The graphene-infused rubber outsole gives you uncomprimising grip on soft surfaces such as mud, but also slippery woodland trails and hard rocky ground. Inspired by the hoof pattern of the mountain goat, the TRAILTALON has 6mm cleats that grip firmly onto the toughest of surfaces. The multi-directional cleats allow the shoe to release the ground just as quickly, propelling you onto your next stride.

Trail running shouldn't feel uncomfortable. Feel light and bouncy with the combination of our POWERFLOW PRO midsole foam and BOOMERANG FOOTBED working together to help you hop over the most challenging of terrain.

The rugged upper of the TRAILTALON features engineered mesh with breathable zones and reinforced areas where the shoe is likely to see more wear. A strong heel cradle delivers a secure, locked-in fit, while a toe bumper protects against any unseen obstacles on the trail.

For a comfortable, bouncy ride over any type of trail, the TRAILTALON offers the ultimate in grip and cushioning.

Our Verdict

The TrailTalon feels like a successful evolution of the old Roclite concept, blending soft-ground grip with the comfort needed for long day on trail. The 6mm Graphene-enhanced lugs bite well into mud, wet grass and loose trails. I particularly like that balance, as it makes the shoe feel at home on the mixed terrain most of us actually encounter.

The POWERFLOW PRO midsole and BOOMERANG footbed give a more cushioned ride, while the META-PLATE adds welcome protection on stony ground. The fit is more accommodating through the forefoot than previous generations, although I would still size carefully if you are between sizes.

For runners and fast hikers looking for one shoe to cover a wide range of UK trail conditions, this is where the TrailTalon works best.
