Add a product
Featuring the trademarked Powerflow midsole, this winter hiking boot renders cushioning while amplifying energy return. Also, it offers optimal shock absorption for a more comfortable stride.
Excellent underfoot support
It is paired with the three-finger Meta-Shank, an underfoot support system that grants the needed flexibility, control, and impact protection. A 6 mm footbed sits atop the midsole that cradles the foot and promotes comfort.
Insulated insole
The Roclite 335 from Inov-8 wears a combo of synthetic and mesh that protects hikers against outdoor obstacles. Its softshell upper features the Primaloft Gold Insulation Eco insulation which enhances comfort by keeping the foot warm and dry, especially in very low temperatures. Extra security on the trails comes from the toe guard.
Easy to wear
This Inov-8 product employs the brand-owned Adapterweb met-cradle (which also makes up the boot’s lacing system). This component allows the boot to adapt to the natural movement and swelling of the foot, enhancing the user’s performance. Lastly, a heel pull tab is added which allows easy on and off.
