INOV8 Men's Bare-XF - Barefoot Training Shoes

INOV8 Men's Bare-XF - Barefoot Training Shoes

Grippy Rubber Outsole: Keep your footing with our 2.5mm thick grippy rubber outsole. Lightweight grip for any gym-based exercise, including weightlifting, cardio, functional movements, walking and running. No Midsole = More Natural Feel: Feel the ground beneath you. A close to the ground design gives you a more natural/barefoot feel. Most gym shoes have a thick wedge of midsole foam to cushion impacts. The BARE-XF does away with this to enhance spatial awarenss and control of your feet. Engineered Air Mesh Upper: A seamless and highly breathable engineered mesh and 3D printed upper construction combine to keep your feet cool and dry during intense workouts. At the same time a supportive Met-Cradle wraps protectively around your foot to keep you stable during high impact exercise. BOOMERANG Footbed: Preserve your energy with the BOOMERANG Footbed. The insoles feature hundreds of foam beads that compress and spring back for 40% energy return during your stride. Perfect for longer cardio sessions, where maximising every bit of energy counts. ROPE-TEC: Protection and durability during rope climbs. ROPE-TEC technology embedded into the midsection of the outsole, around the arch of the foot and the shoe's upper gives protection from friction on rope climbs, and delivers increased durability. Train more naturally with the BARE-XF gym shoes. Whether you're thinking of transitioning to more minimalist training shoes, or you've trained that way for a while, the BARE-XF strikes the perfect balance between freedom and protection. Featuring a wider and anatomically shaped toe box, the BARE-XF allows your toes to naturally splay and adapt to any exercise you're performing. Starting at the ground a 2.5mm sticky rubber outsole gives you uncompromising grip and traction whether you're lifting or performing high impact movements. The BARE-XF has no midsole cushioning and, with a zero-drop, offers a true close-to-the-ground feeling when working out. Within the shoe, our 6mm thick BOOMERANG FOOTBED provides cushioning and energy return during challenging cardio or high impact exercise sessions. A highly breathable, engineered air mesh upper will jeep you comfortable during your workout. At the same time a Met-Cradle wraps around your midfoot to keep you stable during high intensity exercises such as jumps. If you're looking for a minimalist/barefoot training shoe, look no further.
