Inov-8 | Men’s X-TALON™ ULTRA 260 V2 Running Shoes

Advice for Trail Runners: The Inov-8 Men’s X-Talon™ Ultra 260 V2 Running Shoes in the Black/Gold colourway are a fantastic option when you’re looking to run long distances over soft and muddy terrain.

Underfoot Feel

With aggressive grip offered by the lug pattern on the Dual-C sticky rubber outsole, you can run confidently in the heaviest underfoot conditions. The POWERFLOW midsole cushions and protects the foot on uneven ground. It also provides enhanced shock absorption and energy return. In addition, your your running efficiency is aided by the mild stiffness of a DFB shank in the midfoot. 

META-FLEX™ grooves in the forefoot of the outsole also help the shoe to flex and adapt to uneven terrain.

Upper Fit

A revised ballistic nylon upper with a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment offers great breathability. A hard-wearing rand around the front of the shoe also adds protection from stones and trail debris. 

Ideal Run Type

Inov-8 Men’s X-Talon™ Ultra 260 V2 Running Shoes are ideal for covering long distances over the roughest terrain. They perform brilliantly when high levels of grip and hard-wearing durability are essential!

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
