Customer Reviews inov-8 Bare-XF 210 V2

This states that it is a wider shoe. Unfortunately the black center piece over the arch has no give at all and constricts the entire shoe.

These shoes are all I hoped they would be. Very supportive, while at the same time allowing my toes the room to move naturally without constriction. I wouldn't recommend these if you're seeking running shoes, because the soles are very thin, but they are PERFECT for gym shoes. Offers minimal extras while providing great support for things like jumping, fast movement left-right, etc. I'm thrilled with this purchase.

Bought these for cross-fit, cross-training type workouts and found them hard on the soles of my feet. I like the look and style of the shoe. I also purchased the inov-8 F-Lite 260 and those offered just enough support for the jumping, burpee, box work type exercises. I like this brand and am happy I found a style that offered low-profile with some support.

I am trying a different version of this shoe. It had just enough arch support to not quite hug the ground, but not too much where it felt like my gait was affected. It was too narrow by my ankles so I had to return this style, but seems like a very well built shoe. Wish it wasn't so narrow by the ankle. It felt like the narrowness caused me to turn my foot in when I walk which typically isn't an issue, so I think its the style of shoe.

Wow! So, lightweight. I order in two sizes and, unfortunately, I'm returning both. I need extra wide to accommodate bunions, and these just didn't work. They didn't feel like they offered much arch support either.

Bought these for HIIT workout. The studio is encouraging bare feet so I figured this was a compromise. Felt a whole size small. I usually wear 7.5 in every day shoes and an 8 in sneakers. Needed these in 8.5. They performed as I hoped - no blisters, protected my feet, added a new dimension to my workouts.

Great shoe, very stylish, just was too wide for my low volume foot

Perfect for my wide feet. I bought these specifically for lifting. Very comfy with just enough arch support. I can feel the ground and splay my toes when squatting. The product itself is fine. I just don’t like that Zappos sent me a pair that had clearly been tried. There were some long straight brown hairs and a crumb stuck to the shoes and the laces had been done all weird. I would exchange for another pair but I need to wear these right now.

Looking for a light exercise shoe that I can also wear for performance driving. It is always a bit difficult to find the correct sizing from European manufactured shoes. Their length and width isn't always comparable to U.S. sizes. Trying this shoe again in a larger size.

I bought these because they look like normal sneakers, but feel minimalist. They don't scream "this person has weird ideas about shoes!" But they were comfy as heck. You can feel the ground through them but not the cold, they are zero-drop, there was enough room for my toes without looking like clown shoes. On the whole, I'm really glad I found these.

Fit well and comfortable. Has good grip. I use these at a CrossFit-style workout

I love the 210s. This one had a wider toebox which I really appreciate it and a better grip.

I bought these after I saw one of the masters at kung fu wearing these. I have been in search of good shoes for Kung Fu for a long time, with very little success. They felt too much like a bulky shoe. I needed some padding and support, but not the same that most shoes give me. These made me feel like I was barefoot but had some support to them. I have had foot problems for years and my foot does not bother me in these shoes. They do shrink sometimes when you get them wet from a workout. It is not a bad idea to order at least 1/2 size bigger.

This is not my first pair of inov-8 sneakers. inov-8 shoes fit my narrow heel very well with good room for the toes. I would have kept them, but for the lack of cushioning. I've returned them in favor of another inov-8 shoe with more cushioning that I had to order directly from the company.

Bought these shoes for weight lifting and they’ve been great. Nice wide toe box.

The size was perfect. I wear a 9-9.5, so I ordered the 9.5. Worked perfectly. They're comfortable and just right for the barefoot feel. Stable!

I have a hard time finding wide fit shoes, so that alone was awesome. I love doing all my weight lifting and functional training bare foot but that is not always possible. This is pretty darn close to bare foot feel. I also love the rubber sole. I am always sliding on the floor of the gym where I teach. First class down with no unintentional foot shifts. The sole is great. I have not tested it past a class and some test movements but believe it will live up to my expectations at this time.

These run a little large. I'm a 7/7.5. When I ordered the 7.5 I had too much length in the toes. Size 7 fits great, and the wider toe box helps a lot with stability doing weights in the gym.

Love this shoe! Comfortable and lightweight. Great minimalist design and feel.

This brand has been my all time favorite. I have multiple Inov-8 in different style, but this Inov-8 Bare-XF is my favorite by far. I love this brand for my workout gym training, especially on legs day. I would highly recommend this shoes for those who are into working out.

I bought because I have high arches and the reviews said it gave great arch support. I didn't feel any. After I placed my arch support inserts from my old running shoes in there, they felt great. Super light. Perfect for my cardio strength training

Received the wrong size, twice. But it seemed like it would have been perfect if the correct size had come. I love the color!

If you love the barefoot feel in a training shoe, then these shoes are for you! Very grippy on the bottom, so great for things like burpees, lateral movements and agility. I’m usually a Vibram Five Fingers girl, but I wanted to branch out and try something new. I’ll definitely be purchasing another pair when these break down!

I was a little bit nervous that they would be too small because I tried a similar pair in a store and the ran big. But i ordered my usual size and they are fine. I tried them at the gym yesterday - my trainer recommended them - and they felt great, good grip and stability. I also got comments on how good they look. Very pleased and the Zappos price was by far the best.

I bought these for my daughter for Christmas and she Absolutely Loves them. Very please with the product and definitely the customer service. I will ALWAYS check Zappo's before any other site when I need to buy shoes. Thank You.
