Questions fréquentes

Qu'est-ce qui distingue les chaussures Inov-8?
Inov-8 mise tout sur l'accroche et la légèreté, avec une gomme au graphène pionnière dans l'industrie et des crampons agressifs. C'est une marque de spécialiste, particulièrement reconnue en trail technique et sur terrain gras ou rocheux.
Qu'est-ce que la gomme au graphène?
Le graphène est un matériau ajouté au caoutchouc de la semelle pour augmenter l'adhérence et la résistance à l'usure. Inov-8 a été l'une des premières marques à l'intégrer à ses chaussures de course.
Les chaussures Inov-8 conviennent-elles à la route?
Oui, certains modèles sont conçus pour la route et l'entraînement polyvalent. Mais la marque est surtout reconnue pour le trail technique : c'est là qu'elle excelle.
Comment taillent les chaussures Inov-8?
Cela dépend du modèle : Inov-8 propose différentes largeurs (« fits ») et hauteurs de drop. Certaines sont étroites et précises, d'autres plus spacieuses jusqu'au 2E. Un essayage est recommandé pour cibler le bon ajustement.
Inov-8 fabrique-t-il aussi des vêtements?
Oui. La marque propose t-shirts, vestes, shorts et couches de base techniques, dans le même esprit de légèreté et de performance que ses chaussures.
Quel modèle Inov-8 pour débuter en trail?
Un modèle polyvalent et roulant comme la TrailFly est un bon point de départ. Pour les terrains très gras ou techniques, des modèles à crampons plus profonds sont préférables — notre équipe peut vous orienter selon vos sentiers.
