Inov-8 F-Lite 260 Knit Women’s Shoes Grey Women

Inov-8 F-Lite 260 Knit Women’s training shoes are highly breathable and offer a natural, ergonomic fit to keep feet comfortable and dry. With exceptional moisture wicking properties, excess sweat built up is eliminated efficiently. The POWERFLOW+ outsole attenuates shock, while the sticky grip outsole offers unbeatable grip and traction. The Inov8 fit offers a snug heel that locks the shoe into position, while a wider part allows the toes to move naturally when running or lifting weights. The standard fit suits people with wider feet and athletes who wear the shoes for long sessions.

The Inov8 F-lite 260 trail running shoe is made with a flexible nylon mesh upper with a mesh inner lining that provides breathability and ventilation, keeping your feet cool and dry with every step. The welded rubber toe protects the toes when doing burpees or other movements that could damage them. The two-piece POWERFLOW+ midsole offers 10% better shock absorption and 15% more energy return than standard mid-soles allowing you to run harder for longer. The midsole unit transfers energy to the forefoot area, from where it pushes you to the next step and provides you with an exceptional energy return.

The F-Lite 260 features a new rubber outsole compound exclusive to Inov8 called StickyGrip. It offers better traction than its predecessor in wet and dry conditions. The StickyGrip rubber outsole offers excellent underfoot grip for every workout. Inov-8 has only one goal: to celebrate the courage and glory of athletes. Inov-8 products are built to be lightweight, minimalist and functional, from hiking shoes, minimalist, walking boots, to clothing for outdoor activities. They offer runners the confidence and freedom to run harder through any environment or over any obstacle. The goal of Inov-8 is to keep the foot close to the ground so that runners can feel and adapt to the terrain.

– DYNAMIC FASCIA BAND (DFB)
Inov-8’s DFB replicates the anatomical position of the ligament of the plantar fascia and doubles the function of the human foot’s ability to use the’pin-wheel effect”. Originating at the front of the outer sole of the heel, the DFB extends forward along the outer sole and divides, like the human fascia, into five folds ending in the anterior part of the metatarsal heads. As the body weight moves toward the metatarsal heads and the screws begin to extend, the tension in the DFB increases. When the heel comes off the ground, the DFB resists the elongation of the medial arch and supports the entire body weight of the runner, turning the shoe into a rigid propulsion lever.
