The Inov8 Roclite 282 GTX The Inov-8 Roclite 282 Gore-Tex Trail Running Shoe’s lightweight, robust construction is supplemented by a GORE-TEX® lining that makes it perfect for wet conditions. An aggressively lugged outsole delivers excellent grip and traction even on the roughest of terrains, making it a superb choice for those who like to blaze the trail. The Inov-8 Roclite 282 GORE-TEX® Trail Running Shoe is a new, improved and updated version of the previous Roclite, and represents a significant improvement. A newly applied GORE-TEX® construction renders the shoe fully waterproof, meaning you can tackle the trail in any weather, whilst increased flexibility makes it more versatile than ever. Additionally, the shoe’s weight has been reduced significantly compared to its predecessor. The cleated, 5mm deep, sticky rubber outsole delivers superior grip even on the toughest of terrains. GORE-TEX® technology, as well as making the shoe waterproof, is fully breathable and wicks sweat away from the foot quickly and efficiently to enable the feet to remain dry and free from blisters. The multi-finger polymer Meta Shank aligns with the individual metatarsal heads to accommodate a natural foot position and enhanced underfoot impact protection. A SHOC-ZONE™ 3 Arrow offers superior cushioning, and therefore comfort, even over longer distances. A fascia band replicates the plantar fascia ligament, and increases propulsion efficiency as well as reducing fatigue. The shoe features Meta-Flex, an anatomically aligned groove that sits underneath the metatarsal heads and enables the shoe to flex with the foot, encouraging a more natural foot position, alongside a heel to toe drop of 9mm, which encourages midfoot landings and better propulsion.
