A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.6 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 79.6 / 100 — « As one of the brand's best cushioned offerings, the Inov8 Trailfly Max proved its distance-ready shock absorption in our lab tests. The shoe stands out from the other max-cushioned offerings with its roomy foot-shaped toebox and a strong and gripy Graphene Grip outsole. It may not help you set new speed records, but this Inov8 shoe will keep you comfortable on the long hauls. Unless you are used to having more support underfoot, as that's where the Trailfly Max disappointed us. »
