Features of the Inov-8 TrailFly Ultra™ G 280 Running Shoes

• New ultralight FLYSPEED foam cushioning delivers our plushest ride to date, combined with incredible energy return.
• Graphene-enhanced rubber delivers the world’s toughest grip – insane sticky traction AND increased durability, no compromise.
• Multi-directional 4mm deep lugs on each shoe have been meticulously shaped and positioned to improve both propulsion at the front and braking at the rear.
• Measured spacing between the lugs prevents debris from sticking to the outsole, while water dispersion channels and rubber dimples give extra grip on slick surfaces.
• Vertical grooves cut into the rubber allow the foot’s metatarsal bones to move more independently, aiding adaptability and flexible grip when running over uneven terrain.
• Stack heights (midsole only) of 22mm in the heel and 14mm in the forefoot, combined with an 8mm drop, help deliver lots of underfoot comfort.
• An 8mm deep ADAPTER-FLEX groove (2mm shorter than on the TRAILFLY ULTRA G 300 MAX) helps the shoe adapt, react and mould to uneven terrain for a responsive ride.
• A breathable knit upper, with padded tongue and wider toe-box, all provide enhanced comfort without compromising on durability.
