Deirdre GalvinJan 27 2019, 4:03pmI wear Innov8 210 and love them for soft ground running. But need a shoe that provides a little more protection on hard packed/rocky trails.
Needs to be fairly minimalist. Anyone using the Innov8 x talon 230? Looks like they have an added Rock plate that the 210 don't have.
Gene CahillJan 31 2019, 3:06pmHi Deirdre, I wear the Xero Shoes Terraflex trail runners and would highly recommend them. Very minimalist and very comfortable. Good overall grip on a variety of terrain. I remove the 2mm insole and you can really feel the ground beneath your feet. Xero offer a 5,000 mile sole warranty so they're built to last. I only wear minimalist footwear and find it hard to look past Xero shoes! Hope this is of some help
