These Inov-8 Road-X Lite 155 shoes were launched to the market at the beginning of 2011 being the lightest of all those manufactured until then by the prestigious English firm Inov-8. Subsequently, the Trailroc 150 surpassed them in this section by a mere 5 grams.
As their name suggests, these Road-X Lite shoes weigh only 155 grams, which makes them an extremely lightweight shoe, designed for runners weighing up to 70 kilograms, who will run on dirt tracks or harder surfaces such as asphalt and pursue a fast race pace. However, they may also be suitable for short training runs.
If there is one thing that stands out and draws attention to this spectacular shoe, it is thelow drop of only 3 millimeters between the toe and heel, giving it a minimalist cut. This Road-X Lite 155 model is designed for both men and women with a neutral stride, who wish to improve their running technique and enter the minimalist segment.
They feature Meta-Flex technology in the front of the shoe for greater flexibility and comfort of the metatarsals. The upper is quite breathable, while the outsole finish is very thin.
In short, these Inov-8 Road-X Lite 155 shoes will make you adopt a more efficient and natural running style, in a clear approximation to the barefoot style and the advantages that this running modality has associated with it.
