- It’s hard to believe, but “newcomers” INOV8 have been with us for twenty years now. That’s two decades of research, development and, of course, innovation based on the outskirts of the Lake District. And while much of this experience has been in the realm of running, they’ve made increasingly impressive inroads into the world of hiking. But INOV8 aren’t content to be seen as a running brand that also dabble hiking. It’s keen to establish itself firmly as a running AND hiking brand, and the new ROCLITE footwear is the first step.
In this video, Trial magazine's gear editor Ben Weeks takes a look at the new INOV8 ROCLITE GTX and INOV8 ROCLITE GTX MID to see if the latest entries into the ever-popular ROCLITE range live up to their promise.

Hey, great review ! I just have a question, are these zero drop ?
No, these are a 6mm drop.
@@trailmagazine ah shit... The hunt to replace altras continue then, thank you !
I do not understand their naming pattern. Searching for this shoe online finds all the other "roclite" shoes which also have numbers and other affixes. Imagine AMD releasing a new CPU and calling it RYZEN without using numbers... I think Inov8 should have given this show a brand new name.
Love Innov8. Found them on Black Friday. I use the trailflys for trail running. Very very impressed with their durability. I went for non-waterproof. It's a nonsense for running. Would see the use for walking though when you want all day comfort
I have INOV8 shoes and i think they are awful. The fit is too narrow, they aren't remotely close to being water proof, in fact they're not even close to being water resistant. They also smell horrible, and are the only pair of shoes i have ever owned that smell. I'll never buy their shoes again. The grip is good though.
I agree with the slightly narrow fit, but that's exactly what these new ROCLITES address - they're a wider, more anatomical fit. I found them much more comfortable. I've just come back from the Lakes where it was very, VERY wet underfoot, and I tested the shoes with no problems at all. The only time my feet got wet was when I sank in above the ankle, and the boots wouldn't have had that problem - the Gore-Tex lining seems entirely reliable. As for the smell, well, I've not had an issue with previous models, and it's too early to tell with these, but I'll let you know!
