Built with Inov-8’s Precision-fit last, the X-Talon 212 provides you with a fast and lightweight experience on and off the trail. These shoes feature a wider toe box, which allows the toes to splay for more balance and more aggressive toe-offs. A sticky rubber outsole maximizes grip on any terrain, even in wet conditions. Patented Fascia Band technology carries your entire body weight and resists elongation of the medial arch when the heel leaves the ground, providing a responsive ride. A Meta-Flex groove in the outsole allows the forefoot to flex naturally with each step, while a close-fitting heel locks the shoe in position for a secure fit. To keep feet cool, these shoes also feature a breathable mesh lining and perforated, moisture-wicking insole. Flexible, lightweight and durable, these off-road shoes won’t let you down.
