This is a big change for inov-8: We have just received our first shipment of the BRAND NEW Race Ultra 290s for both men and women! The Race Ultra 290 is inov-8s first real foray into the Comfort Cushion market, offering more padding below the foot than any prior product. This Trail Shoe leverages More Drop (a full 8mm) to appeal to a more traditional off-road runner who favors a level of protection over the feel of every single root pounding into their foot. In the world of unbiased shoe reviews, Talk Ultra is a bit of an inov-8 homer. Hes a Brit, you see, and theyre very proud of their home-grown products. With that said, he has posted a detailed review of the shoe on his site (iancorless.org/2014/06/12/inov-8-race-ultra-290-shoe-review/), and it covers the nuance of the shoe far more than we could hope to do here. From our point of view, this is a great shoe that gives a nod to additional cushioning without losing its connection to the ground. You wont be isolated from the trail in the Race Ultra 290, and we think this middle ground is a piece of the market that has been missing for quite a while as the industry argues about minimalism and maximalism. IN addition, the tread design appears very capable, and we look forward to spinning some loops at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in the coming weeks. Drop on in, grab a pair, and join us out there!!
