Inov-8 Men Roclite 345 GTX

Really impressed by these boots. Very lightweight but I've done some long days and big hills in them and they are great. Grip well, waterproof and comfortable. And they look nice too!

Very comfortable and light hiking boots. Love this brand!

I love INOV8 shoes. These hiking boots are well built and generally comfortable. HOWEVER, INOV8 shoes and boots generally fit small. In any other sports shoe, I usually take a 27.5 cm, which is a 9.5 US. However, because INOV8 fit small, I ordered these in size 28 cm, which is US 10.Unfortunately, the toe-box of these hiking boots is rather narrow, so I found that I should have ordered a full cm bigger, ie 28.5 cm. If you do any serious hiking and don't order a full cm bigger, you will likely find that your toes get smashed up when going on extended downhill stretches, because of the narrow, tight toe box.My toes took a real beating. Order a full cm larger.

Bought these for lightweight Munro travel. I generally walk where I have to and run when I can. Have used Salomon xa pro 3d which have the hardened toe. This is good for running I find and gives some protection from stones but the biggest weakness was the insoles getting wet and bunching. Mega pain when miles from the car. Think this is an issue with some Salomon shoes.Heard a lot of praise for inov8 so bought these to try. I bought a half size up and the fit is good. They are very light and comfortable. Wore them for a long day out in the hills and noted the lack of toe protection which caught me out a couple of times when running and tired. The grip was outstanding and gave me confidence on exposed ridges and scrambling. The soles may be hardened but can’t help but think the outer edges will go long before any sole wear with mtn use. Only time will tell. Scored down one due to some obvious damage from one hard hill day.

first time running off-road in high top shoes. They are more comfy than 'low top' versions. They are brilliantly waterproof and the extra height of the tops often keeps puddle mud out that might have gone over the top of low top shoes. I like the ankles support and the grip when descending. i have ran a lot of hilly muddy miles in them and have dry feet after nearly every run (if you end up in a puddle that goes over the top of the boots then you are still going to get wet feet).
