Customer Reviews inov-8 Recolite™ 190

These are great. I usually live in flip flops in the warmer months, but have been wanting shoes like this for times when a slightly more structure shoes is needed -- or one that won't fall off as easily in water, for example. These definitely fit the bill. They are unbelievably light; it really is remarkable. And they don't look as bulky as the Keen sandals they kind of look like. Bottom line: If you are considering them, definitely get them. They are better than you can tell from looking online.

I am a size 10.5US and had to up size to 11 for perfect fit. Just wore them through a Crossfit WOD and found shoes to be extremely great to the sport. Excellent stability, no slippage in heel, super light, and generally feel very fast for a nontraditional shoe. Perfect for summer workouts.

These just might be my favorite shoes ever. They're light, comfortable, and I wear them everywhere. Most of my other shoes are Nikes, and the Inov8s seem to be about a half size smaller. (I wear a 10.5 in Nike, 11 in Inov8.)

Perfect running shoe for triathlons, especially sprint and Olympic distance, where transition time is only second to performance. I used this shoe all year and it was the most enjoyable running shoe I've ever used, easy to take off/put on and go all day in. In fact, I decided to finish them off by running a marathon in them - sans socks! Some anti-chafe cream and there were no blisters or anything else for that matter on my feet. I will be buying another pair for next year.

I bought these to walk down by the river. They are so comfortable, I wear them to work.

These shoes are the greatest. They are unisex, therefore fit a wider foot like mine. Very comfy and can wear without socks. Also, innersole is removable for washing. Last but not least, cool looking.

Instant comfort - like cushioned barefoot. Worn for a 5K walk, into Lake Erie for a swim, and around town when I want my toes protected. I'm a grape farmer, on my feet a lot in hiking boots, and when I'm ready for active casual wear these make my feet say "aaahhh".

I absolutely love these shoes. Be sure to order half a size smaller than what you normally wear for a good fit. These are some of the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn.

I love these. Very comfortable to slide into after a run or workout. I been wearing them constantly since I received them. A little pricey but worth it to me.

Super lightweight, breathe very well, sized to wrap comfortably around your foot rather than just being a big clunky shoe with some hole in it like cheaper versions of this type are.

Cool, comfortable for the most part, except feels a little insecure in the heel. I'm not sure why. Nice toe box, doesn't pinch toes. Laces are solid rather than elastic, which I like (elastic laces make the shoes want to ride up and down when I walk). These sneakers also have no tongues, which is kind of nice -- it makes them easier to put on. Most importantly for my city walking and light hiking, this shoe has a flexible sole instead of a stiff sole. In terms of style they aren't very feminine-looking and they make my big feet look bigger. Still they're good shoes except that on me the heels feel oddly unsupportive.

Great overall shoe. I wear them at the gym and for walking around town. Most important. They're cool (very sweaty feet here). Never heard of this brand before, but quality seems very good. Made in China.

I walk 40 miles a week in the Deep South heat, and these are the coolest, most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Lightweight, flexible, great road protection, rarely get rocks inside even though the sides are ventilated. I may order 2 or 3 more pairs!

I'm using this shoe for everything from hiking to running to traveling. Great fit/comfort and light weight! Super alternative for runners looking for low-profile shoe. I have about 100 miles on my pair (mostly road, some trail) and there's hardly any sign of wear.

The Recolite is great. Light and comfortable. I can even run in them. I used to wear Keen sandals and the difference is like night and day. Keens are heavy and ugly. I love my Inov-8s.

Great shoe very comfortable. Unfortunately my size wasn't available so I tried a size up and it's too big.

Bought these to use as a minimalist shoe when I reluctantly need to wear shoes. It's great attributes are a very wide toe box (like the Teva Sunkosi 2), and extremely light weight. Very comfortable for casual wear without looking as much like a sandal as some hybrids. They look great with jeans.

Great experience! My order came fast with no problems. The fit was perfect and the product exceeded my expectations.

Incredibly comfortable shoe. Made along the lines of a barefoot shoe, there is minimal support and just a bit of cushioning. Great for post-run. I also like them for travel (easy to slip on and off at security).

Great shoes! Comfortable, and light. I have a bad ankle with traumatic arthritis, plate, screws and have a lot of pain in my feet and ankles. I can wear these shoes walking all day and my feet are better than they have been in years. I've got 3 pairs. I don't run but walk all day for my job, love to hike and travel. They are also perfect for walk/run on the beach.

I've wanted a pair of sandals like this for a long time. Many other brands like Keene just didn't fit my foot right. I never heard of this brand 'til I cruised the Zappos site. I ordered them, wore them around the house for a while then kept them. Thanks Zappos for your 365 day return policy. No, it didn't take me 365 days but it gave me enough time to be sure I got the right sandals.

These are the best shoes! They are very light and so comfortable! I bought a second pair for my 70 year old mother who loves them. I actually have Keens that look like these but these are ten times more comfortable.

This was a great find for me because I am very active and have bunions. The very wide toe area accommodates the bunion and I can garden, walk, hike, do animal chores, etc in real comfort. They can be tightened up and you can wear with or without socks. These shoes have returned me to pain free activity.

These are very comfortable and lightweight shoes. I wore these for two consecutive days at Disney. They did rub my little toe slightly, which caused some irritation.
