Inov-8 X-Talon G 235 Men

The Inov-8 X-Talon G 235 for men are neutral trail running shoes. The X-Talon G 235 have been specially designed for running on muddy and soft trails. The 235 model is the first model of the X-Talon series which has also been included in the G-series. Inov-8's G-series shoes feature graphene material.

The upper is made of materials that don't clog up water. The upper also features Ballistic Nylon, a durable material which is water-repellent. Ballistic Nylon was first designed for the army and helped to protect soldiers from shrapnel. The upper therefore also withstands sticks and stones encountered on your trails. The X-Talon G 235 has a narrow fit. This keeps the feet in place, but might feel a bit tight for runners with wider feet. The protective layer around the toes helps to keep the toes safe. These trail shoes allow you to connect an All Terrain Gaiter which helps to keep dirt out off your shoes.

The POWERFLOW+ midsole offers 10% more shock absorption and 25% more energy return than the average EVA midsole. It provides effective cushioning when running trails. The META-Plate protects the feet from sharp rocks and stones. The outsole with graphene ensures a lot of grip. Graphene is very flexible and thin, but also more than 200 times stronger than steel. Thanks to the graphene layer the outsole of the X-Talon G 235 is stronger, more flexible and more wear resistant than the usual trail running shoe. The 8 mm cleats bite into the dirt and ensure excellent grip and traction.
