The classic from INOV8, or Inov-8, is the X-Talon and specifically the model 212. Named because it weighs 212 grams. In the obstacle run and survival run scene this is perhaps the most favorite shoe. Among other things because of the strong mesh. Also for the wetter trails and fell running these shoes of the English Inov-8 are often used. What do you expect with such a low weight and an aggressive profile with studs of 8 millimeters.
Which model?
Do you want to try these toppers? Which model do you need? Below is a short explanation of the different models.
INOV8 X-Talon 212
What the Speedcross is to Salomon, the 212 is to INOV8. A classic that has been in the range for years. A somewhat narrower shoe with a low weight. Phenomenal grip and a durable upper.

INOV8 X-Talon 255
The successor of the XTalon 200. That was the most popular shoe for the somewhat wider feet. Good protection of your feet and also here a lot of grip.

INOV8 X-Talon Ultra 260
Also a shoe for the somewhat wider feet. In the meantime, the X-Talon 255 has been surpassed in popularity. That will be because this shoe offers a bit more comfort, certainly if you walk on it for a bit longer.

Older INOV8 models
In addition to these three current models of the X-Talon, there are also several old models that have passed through the collection in recent years. Do you still have one of these models? Then look it up below and see what the best alternative is in the current collection.
X-Talon 190
The most lightweight X-Talon ever on the market. Precursor to the 210. Narrow shoe that dries quickly due to the open mesh. There is no real alternative anymore, but for the narrow foot you now choose the 212.
X-Talon 200
The first truly wide X-Talon, apart from the wide version of the 212 that ever existed. For those in the know, that was the 212 Standard Edition. Has been succeeded by the current X-Talon 255.
X-Talon 210
Only very recently disappeared from the collection, but still good to buy. A real competition shoe. Feather-light, quick-drying and phenomenal grip. Narrow fit, so possibly to be followed by the 212. Although there is no other shoe that dries so quickly.
X-Talon 225
This one is very short on the market. A narrow shoe, but with a stiffer mesh than the 190. Was succeeded by the 235.
X-Talon 230
This was a kind of 212, but made of a different material. This shoe had a kind of rubber edge all the way around. The INOV8 fans remained loyal to the 212, so this one has disappeared again.
X-Talon 235
No longer on the market. Was a kind of successor to the 225. Both were not very popular models. Is a narrow shoe, so you are best off with the 210.
