It does take a careful approach to go from cushioned or supportive running shoes to a barefoot like running style but with the 150 we were able to put in way more miles than expected during the first couple of runs already. This overall great impression was confirmed during our further runs. (180 turnover is about what you want to reach for most efficient running and reduced impact)Īfter about 30 minutes into the run we could tell that our feet really started working (which is a great thing as your feet tend to be dead meat in cushioned running shoes with lots of heel drop) but at the same time our whole body was extremely relaxed in comparison to other minimalist running shoes. The shoe fit like a glove even on challenging ground and our turnover instantly went up from about 150/per minute in other running shoes to almost 180/ per minute in the Bare X Lite. We were very surprised by the amount of cushion this shoe offered with nothing more than a 7mm sole. We were impressed with the first look and took the shoe for the first run the very next morning. – good hold in the mid foot section and plenty of space in the toe box but not too much so your toes would be moving left and right on uneven terrain – so stitching or seams that could be in the way when wearing barefoot This makes for a great fit and their is no tongue moving around all time – tongue less one piece upper with a stretch feature on top for perfect fit. – very breathable with a light mesh upper – super cool look in the blue and white and it looks fast We took the blue and white version for a couple of test runs to get you a sneak peek before this new minimalist running rocket is hitting stores.īefore trying the 150 on we were already wearing another minimalist shoe all day – and it felt great – but when putting the 150 on we instantly relaxed even more.
Zero mm Drop from heel to toe, anatomical last for improved biomechanics, unique synthetic rubber and EVA compound for superb grip and maximized cushion at a merely 7mm sole! Those are some of the key features of the new Inov-8 Bare X Lite 150 which will be out in a white and red color scheme in fall 2011 followed by 4 brighter colors such as blue and lime in spring 2012.
