Inov-8 F-Lite & Max Review - Best Wide Trainer!

[@aarong11]

I agree with you on the sizing. Got a 9.5 in the black and gum, ended up being too short. Got a 10 in the grey and they almost feel too big because of the width and volume. I’ve even noticed they are almost too flexible/wide at the forefoot when doing burpees (which can be uncomfortable), but solid everywhere else. Thanks for your review!

I love my Inov-8 F-Lite Max and F-Flys. I wear a M15 and have a 2E width, so finding crossfit trainers has been a real task. Some companies don't only carry up to a M14, most are too narrow. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I purchased these and finally had two training shoes with a wide enough toe box. I would definitely recommend both models. Now if they could just make the lifters the same way, haha.

I have both the F FLY and F LITE. I love both. The FLY is about the best Tabata and treadmill shoe I have ever worn. The LITE does everything really well. Comfort in both is outstanding. Every shoe should have that inner sole. Just great shoes.

I just bought the f lite and I love them. I like the larger toe box. I like that they are great for someone with high arches. They are so comfortable. I really like that when doing workouts they are great for working with weights then jumping on treadmill. My Reebok nanos were not comfortable on the treadmill.

Thanks man!

Just got the f-lite and thought they feel similar to the adidas dropset 2 which I loved, but more versatile without the vent at the bottom. I did notice the slightly aggressive toe spring compared to other trainers I own. Wondering if you’ve noticed it getting in the way during your workouts and if you think it’ll loosen up after a few sessions.

Managed to get a pair of the max for £65, about $80 Only downside is the laces are soo long

Is there any chance you could review the new version of the Foost lifters?

[@ramonfontestad8092]

I recently bought the Inov-8 F-Lite shoes, and I find them very comfortable overall. However, I feel the midsole might be slightly too thick, which can create some disadvantages for movements like Olympic lifts from the floor or burpees when standing back up. I believe that reducing the midsole thickness by about 5mm could bring these shoes closer to perfection. What are your thoughts on this?

[@AMRAP]

I actually like that they have cushioning - its pretty dense so I havent felt like it's impacted my lifts or burpees. 5mm is a lot, it would make the shoe more flimsy like the F-Fly, which I didn't like much for lifting.
