“A great pair of comfortable lightweight shoes ideal for warm & dry weather. The upper mesh on the toe area is a relatively open mesh which is great for letting the feet breath. I use the shoes for general walking on paths & around streets for which they are ideal. They are not designed to be waterproof so if you want something for a rainy day then these are not the model for you. I'd recommend visiting the Inov-8 web site as it has a handy query tool to advise you which model will suit your chosen outdoor activity. This is the second pair I've bought, I bought my first pair a year ago & they have stood up well to daily use. They are still serviceable after a years use but I've worn the tread down walking 2000 plus kilometres in the last year.”
