Designed with a durable engineered mesh upper, the Inov-8 Parkclaw G 280 Trail Running Shoes feature a more open mesh around the forefoot and midfoot for enhanced breathability while a strong and flexible toe bumper keeps your feet protected from rocks and offroad debris. Crafted with a slightly wider toe box, a plush gusseted tongue and a heel counter for a secure foothold while external heel loops make it easier and quicker to put shoes on. The G-FLY foam midsole combined with a raised 8mm drop propels 25% more energy return for a fast-feel stride enhanced with cushioning and comfort. This works alongside the bounce-enhancing BOOMERANG footbed that compresses and springs back for 40% more energy return and greater cushioning than standard footbeds. Finally, the G-GRIP graphene-enhanced rubber outsole with 98 multi-directional 4mm deep lugs on each shoe gives an aggressive trail grip and a smooth ride on roads.
