You're looking at pure blooded versatile cross shoes. The Inov-8 amphibian can handle the rigours of the trail as well as longer stretches of tarmac. This is mainly due to the sophisticated outsole with a shallow pattern that combines three different hard rubber compounds for an optimal combination of grip and durability. In addition to the versatile grip, the TRAIL TALON 290 has comfortable cushioning, making it one of the most comfortable models in the INOV-8 range. Thanks to this, they have been the best-selling cross shoes. Due to the higher level of cushioning, the TRAIL TALON 290 is a great choice for mountain marathons and ultra trails. You’ll appreciate the comfort of the cushioning layer and its versatile properties when you're running in suburban environments that often alternate between roads and lighter trails.
