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.

I love these! I read a lot of reviews before deciding to get these for CrossFit. I had been wearing Nike Free, which felt kind of slippery inside and so flat. These shoes are great because the laces seem really responsive, they give me room in the toe box for box jumps/jump rope, but also allow for a snug fit on the top of my foot. The back part does fit pretty high on the Achilles, but I wear socks that are long there so this isn't a problem for me. Sometimes, however, I can get an annoying rub while on the rowing machine. Overall, these are a great shoe. Plus, they look so cool!

I purchased these shoes for some fitness use (elliptical, rowing, light weight lifting, etc.) and for walking/running around the park with my dog. The reason for the four stars is because these are strictly training shoes and the sizing is off. Now, that may not come as a surprise since they're labeled as training shoes. However, my previous training shoes were also great for walking. These are NOT good at all for walking. I can barely walk a few blocks in these shoes before my feet start to hurt. There's zero arch support in these. Now, I must say that these are great ONLY for training. As in weight lifting, because they allow you to balance with having almost no drop. There is a nice, wide toe box which is also great for balancing. I normally wear a size 6.5/7 and I had to order a 7.5 for these to fit. Order a half size up at minimum, possibly a whole size. I don't think I'd order these again just because they're so uncomfortable for walking, but I'll keep the pair I have and order a different brand for walking shoes.

I really like these shoes! I have wide feet and it's hard to find any shoes, much less lifting shoes that fit and fit well! I bought the 10 and 10.5 because I didn't know what to expect based off of other reviews, but I found that the 10 was just a smidge too small (my toes were cramped in the toe box), but the 10.5 fits perfectly! I wish they had more colors in my size, but I get compliments all the time on my black/greys. I love how flexible they are which makes them perfect for mat work (kettle bells, medicine balls, climbers, push ups, planks etc) and perfect for bar work. It allows me to be able to splay my toes and really plant my feet into the ground. My feet don't hurt and they are COMFY!! Will definitely be ordering another pair as more colors become available!

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.

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
