I have been buying Inov-8 shoes ever since I discovered them in a CrossFit gym and I haven't been disappointed yet. These are the only brand of shoes that keep me from having knee pain, so although they're pricey, I figure it's cheap compared to a knee replacement later on in life (I'm in my 20s!).

Other reviews claim that the sizing is off a little, but for me the sizing was right on. If you've purchased other Inov-8 models before, buy the same size. This company is good at keeping their sizes uniform throughout all their products.

These shoes look great and are very comfortable. I was surprised how great the traction on the bottom is; it's perfect for just about every kind of terrain without being too stiff. It does everything a great hiking boot does, and then some.

Another genius product from Inov-8. Love them!
