Inov-8 Women's F-Lite 235 Fitness Shoe

This shoe is awesome. I bought these with the intention of having a better lifting shoe than chucks. What I have ended up with is a pair of great all around shoes.These are not designed as a running shoe, and have very little cushion for such impact. However, I found these to be quite comfortable during a 5k run on a partial dirt/partial concrete path. I would not run any farther than that.The inside of the shoe fits interestingly well. The toe box is roomy, but not floppy loose. The arch does not have significant support, but feels as though there is a stabilizing raised area that sits behind the arch, where it meets the heel. I found that this not only corrects my supination to a degree, but also makes for a much more stable shoe that does not rock from side to side easily.I'm definitely going to invest in more Inov8 shoes, starting with their running shoes.

Great trainer! VERY light and minimalit design as the brand and name implies. Toe box is extremely roomy. I normally wear a 5.5 wide in run ers and based on previous review went with a 6M. I probably could've fit into a 5.5M no problem, so I think their sizes are spot on. I've done short sprints/runs (mile or less)and all my lifting and biking activities in these and they are supportive and feel great in every activity. Nice heel lift to help out with squats (not as good/high as lifting shoes of course). Overall very happy with purchase and

Love the wide toe box, the narrow heel to keep from slipping. The heel support feels like a cup and hugs my heels which helps me with stability. I imagine people with ankle difficulties would appreciate this value. This is my first time buying the Inov-8 brand. For the most part I am happy with the fit & low-key style. The reason I did not rate at 5 stars is because the lack of cushion in the front. However, support is excellent in the heel. I may add a different insole to compensate. Also, I did not like the branding that was splattered across the front but I knew this before I bought it and will black it out. I feel if I am sporting a brand's logo I should be compensated for advertisement. I won't advertise for free. The shoe laces could be better quality as well, they were very thin & flimsy. Otherwise I'm still happy enough to give these shoes a full round of wear & tear because of my initial comment above. Price wise, I would not pay full price ($120 range), but will purchase this Inov-8 brand if its $95 or less. Soloman brand has been my go-to and Inov-8 are comparable to them but not price wise. Soloman's are worth their cost. Fit as expected. I wear an 8 in athletic shoes, I have somewhat narrow feet and purchased an 8 regular in these & the fit was on point.

Love them, but I had to exchange sizes a few times to get it right. I normally wear women's 6.5/ EU 37 -- and had to size up to 7.5. I couldn't even get my feet into the 6.5. They fit perfectly though, now that I have the right size. They are super comfortable and there is a little extra room in the toes, which I like so I protect my toes from getting bunions (already had surgery once & my toes shifted back a little). If you haven't noticed, most running shoes do not actually have enough room in the toe box and cram the toes together, and it gives me anxiety when I run in regular shoes. Anyway, love them, and I bought them on sale, totally worth it!

Shoe fit a little snug at first but now that I have them broken in it is much better! My left shoe feels different than the right in the arch of my foot which is annoying. The shoe slips a little more than expected and the rubbery design on the side of the shoe is peeling off. I would try the brand again and my feet don't hurt throughout workouts but this shoe seems poor in quality, probably why they are cheap!

I originally thought these looked very small when comparing the soles to the ones I usually wear, but the shoe itself ended up fitting. I went by Euro size 38 instead of US sizes, which vary as much as 1.5 sizes between shoe companies. Still, usually do have a 6.5 shoe and ordered a 7.5 because it corresponded with the Euro size 38. So please, folks, go with your Euro size when ordering these.I love the shoe itself. It's foot-shaped and flat. I have Morton's neuroma in both feet from figure skating and needed something to take the pressure off my forefoot. It did the job. Workouts and even ice skating are much much better on my feet. Don't expect a cushy sole. If you need that wear slippers and hang around the house. If you want a shoe that protects the bottom of your foot without becoming a trampoline, provides minimal support so your foot can get stronger, but grips the floor/ground when you need it to, this is a great shoe. Yes, I wear it for everyday activities now, not just workouts. I will purchase this as long as they make it.

I purchased this shoe in another color and loved it. This version is comfortable and fits well.HOWEVERThis quality of this version wasn't great. The plastic details were dried our and peeled off leaving brown marks that make the shoe look dirty. The glue attaching the sole appears dried out and the sole is not fully attached.I was asked to return the shoe. It's a hassle during a pandemic and I already threw out the box.

I took a chance on these -- a girl in my workout class had a pair on and she recommended them. I could tell my old ones were not holding up to more intense workouts - I felt like my ankle was not planted with my movements, if that makes sense. I wasn't sure about the fit of these at first since they are wider than most athletic shoes, but I wore them to my last class and LOVE them! They offered more support and stability in the right places and my feet didn't feel like my foot and ankles moved around all over the place. Highly recommend them! I wear anywhere from a 5-6 in most shoes, and I generally wear a 6 in athletic shoes and these fit like they are supposed to.
