The legendary Inov-8 X-TALON G 235 shoes come in a brand new design and are better than ever. Given the historical success of this concept, such a claim seems very bold, but the G 235 version has the potential to live up to even the highest expectations. The base of the shoe is still the same - a tried and tested outsole with an aggressive 6mm grip that you can rely on even on the toughest terrain. Excellent self-cleaning capabilities and 100% grip in all directions come as standard. The only weak point of this outsole was durability when running on hard surfaces. Thanks to graphene, however, this last shortcoming has been eliminated and you can look forward to significantly improved durability while maintaining grip with the new X-TALON G 235. No major changes were needed in the cushioning area either. The drop has the traditional 6 millimetres and the cushioning layer reaches a massive 13 millimetres under the heel. The key features are flexibility and responsiveness without negatively impacting comfort and foot protection. The most important thing comes at the end. The upper used in the X-TALON G 235 has been redesigned from the ground up with a focus on significantly increased comfort. However, since these shoes are designed for running in the harshest environments, they also don’t lack the high level of protection and durability that you may be used to from previous models in the X-TALON family. The primary material remains the virtually indestructible ballistic nylon, complemented by a rubber protective lining covering the toes and midfoot.
