Customer Reviews inov-8 Recolite™ 190

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.

These shoes would be fantastic -- if only I didn't need to walk in them! When I first put them on, I loved their lightweight, snug feel. I was pleasantly surprised by that, because my foot is narrow, and yet other reviewers with wider feet seem to like the shoe, too. But the problem for me is the heel. Inside, there is a hand-sewn vertical seam right down the middle. It's uncomfortable, and it just looks like it's going to fall apart. Then, the heel is so flimsy that it bunches vertically at the bottom. The net effect for me is that with each step the heel feels unstable and raw. How disappointing.

I wear size 9 womens, but the 9.5W was too large and the 8.5W seemed too small at first. I have high insteps, so I took out the insole and these now fit fine. I don't need the insoles but will keep them if these shoes seem to stretch out. Wish they came in half sizes.

These shoes are great! I look forward to slipping them on after a long run or bike ride each and every time. Great recovery shoe! Also great for a nice relaxing day around town as well. Super light. Only wish they were waterproof, so I could throw them and the pack and ford rivers with them. Inov-8 has great products.

When I took these shoes from the box, I thought I'd been sent a too small shoe -- but I slipped them on and they feel very comfortable, with or without socks. I look for men's shoes that a woman can wear because I have very wide feet, bunions, and arthritis. I need room in the toebox. But I refuse to stop moving so good footwear is a must. It's possible they could have just a little more arch support, but I'll let time sort out what I think about that. I hear they need to be washed periodically to control odor. I do wonder how long the special strap will last before it wears. I'm going to check out the company's web site. But so far, I'm quite happy with them.

This would be a really comfy shoe, except it's so wide that you slide around. I do have a narrow woman's foot, but there's a good inch of space on the sides of my foot.

We got these shoes for my husband to wear while he walks to and then into a nearby creek. They are sturdy enough for him to walk safely through the woods, and then they're just perfect for walking in the creek. They protect his feet and don't get heavy when wet. He says they are ideal for the purpose. He normally wears a size 12 shoe, and the size 12 in this shoe fit him perfectly.

A great pair of lightweight shoes! I purchased them as airport shoes and I sometimes forget to take them off at the TSA checkpoint because I forget I have them on.

I love these sneakers. They are the most comfortable things I have ever worn. Wear them all day long just kicking around, but I also have worn them for four and five mile walks and was quite pleased. Nice for warm weather when socks and regular sneakers add to the heat. I did take the advice of other comments here and ordered a half size smaller.

Overall, I really like these shoes, I bought them for hiking in warm weather. My only complaint is that they do not make half sizes. I typically wear 8 1/2 or 9. On settled on the 9, but should have probably gone with an 8.

I was looking for a "summer, no-socks" shoe that I could just slip on and go. These are great, but the insides felt a little abrasive at first. I only awarded the shoe with 4 stars because they don't come in half sizes, and an 11.5 would have fit me perfectly. I went with the 11s and they seem fine. I would certainly recommend anyone thinking of these that wears a half-sized shoe to buy both the size above and below your regular shoe size and see how they fit. Zappos has a rad return policy so you have nothing to lose!

I really wanted to like these shoes. I wear several Inov-8 styles, the 275, the 295, and the 268. The Recolites fit a bit larger, but as casual shoes, that was OK. I finally returned these shoes because the inside fabric/stitching rubbed without socks, and these are shoes that I would want to wear without. If Inov-8 comes out with a new model of these shoes with less scratchy stitching, I would definitely give it a try.

After reading all the reviews, I felt that this was the shoe I'd been looking for. I purchased a pair for my two week vacation in Florida for walking on the beach. I'm very pleased with the Recolite 190. They met all my expectations. I thought they might not have enough support for my weight, but they worked out great. Also, proved to be very cool and comfortable. It should have been the only pair I took because I ended up wearing them all the time.

This is an excellent shoe for narrow feet. I am not confident that the rubber outsole would protect my feet from a rusty nail or that the perforated footbed would actually dry quickly. I have an older version of this shoe without the footbed for river shoes. The lace is weak and not elastic and the zip tie is not very user-friendly so I might replace. Otherwise exceptionally comfortable and great colors. It is hard to find all terrain shoes for a Woman's US 12 narrow foot!

I originally bought these as a replacement for my worn out Five-fingers. I didn't like them for running. I wore them for a complete day at Disney... great shoe. Most recently, I brought these along as a "camp shoe" for my latest trek along the Appalachian Trail. As a camp shoe they were awesome. The third day in, I did a full day in the rain and my hiking boots got soaked and my feet got chewed as if I wore sharks on my feet (yes they were Gore-tex, but that didn't matter). I took a chance and switched to these and did the remaining 60 miles wearing only these. Absolutely awesome! So, 60 miles of N. Georgia mountains with a 40lb pack and no problems. I may never go back to traditional hikers again.

Excellent shoes! They are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear. These are the perfect shoes for people who lead an active lifestyle. Great for times when you need more than flip flops but don't want to wear regular shoes.

I really enjoyed wearing these shoes. For some reason I had it in my mind that these might be good for hiking (maybe it's the mention of "trail" in the description), so I wore them for a hike. It was more climbing than I anticipated, but these shoes still gripped rocks and prevented slippage. I didn't risk them on one of the higher peaks b/c I wasn't terribly sure how secure they'd be, but if I were a more confident climber in general, I would've gone for it. The lightweight, barefoot feel didn't create any negative impact on my feet or knees while jumping down from modest heights. Comfortable on various terrain all day. The extra wiggle room in the width didn't bother my medium width foot. B/c of the size conversions, the only option was truly a half size larger than my usual size. I'm a fan, though I will be investing in some uglier, hardcore hiking shoes as a back-up.
