Snug-fitting and low to the ground, the F-Lite 230 performs best over hard-packed trails, rock outcroppings and plateaus and pavement. The lightweight upper is breathable and supportive and because of the shoe's low weight and low profile it is a great option for minimalist runners and serious racers.

INTRODUCTION

The f-Lite 230 is a trail and road racing shoe designed for the neutral or supinating runner. This shoe performs best over hard-packed trails and has a curved shape.

CUSHIONING

2 Arrow Shoc-Zone provides moderate underfoot cushioning and a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop. This is Inov8's medium level of cushioning on their 0-4 arrow scale.

MIDSOLE

EVA Foam is a moderately thick layer of industry standard foam for cushioning and flexibility.
Dynamic Fascia Band running from the heel to the forefoot acts as a rigid lever arm, releasing energy with each step and propelling the runner forward.

UPPER

Synthetic Mesh covers the upper for lightweight, breathable coverage.
TPU Lacing System uses TPU lacing supports for a strong, lightweight and secure fit.
3mm Footbed for additional underfoot comfort.
Performance Last is a close fitting design for a snug fit and optimal performance.

OUTSOLE

F-Lite is a lightweight racing outsole that is intended for roads and hard-packed trails.
Sticky Rubber for optimal performance and maximized grip in wet conditions.
Meta-Flex groove is located at the forefoot to encourage natural forefoot flex during toe-off.
