## Description

Inov8 X-Talon Ultra 260 Trail Running Shoes An evolution of the X-CLAW 275, the X-TALON 260 ULTRA is the perfect shoe for running long distances over soft and muddy terrain DWR Upper Featuring a new ballistic nylon upper, the X-Talon Ultra 260 is completely breathable, lightweight and durable. The material, combined with the new mesh tongue, further aids shoe breathability and comfort whilst an on-the-shoe gaiter hook offers a more secure attachment system, allowing you to attach an all-terrain gaiter to the shoe. The upper construction is covered with a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment, this is water resistant and breathable layer that provides partial weather protection from rainy days but does not fully diminish the effect if the weather gets more intense. Additionally, a rand wraps around the shoe's upper ensures outstanding protection against stones and other debris, reducing wear and tear and giving an extension of life to the shoe. PowerFlow Midsole The midsole for the Inov8 X-Talon 260 is set with a PowerFlow compound for resilient cushioning with maximum memory retention. The active compound reduces resistance and forces pressed upon the underfoot, engaging a smooth stride through transition and over uneven grounds and delivers increased shock absorption and energy return. Offering a cushioned ride, the powerflow midsole provides 10% better shock absorption and 15% better energy return than standard midsoles allowing you to run harder for longer. Additionally, a DFB shank delivers a kick of energy with each step helping you to move faster an more efficiently. Dual-C Outsole The X-Talon Ultra 260 is an off-trail outsole built with an aggressive lug pattern. It is ideal for loose rock, grass, mixed terrain or mud. Embedded with a Dual-C Outsole, it combines two different sticky outsole rubbers for added durability and maximised grip. The sticky Rubber helps for optimal performance and maximised grip in wet conditions. Working alongside, Me

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great traction in the mud!
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2019*

I primarily bought these shoes for the promise of excellent grip in soft ground. I have used them a couple of times in very wet and muddy conditions and the grip provided is indeed excellent. I have previously owned a pair of Inov8 Rocklite and they gave excellent traction. Unfortunately when the model updated the fit seemed to change so I changed brands. However the grip offered by other shoes wasn't nearly as good. With this Autumn being so wet, I was slipping and sliding all over the place. I therefore decided to give Inov8 another go. I and really pleased I did. In terms of the grip offered, they are so much better than my other trail shoes. The mud doesn't seem to stick to the soles as much as other shoes I've used. The added bonus with Inov8 is they offer half sizes. This particular model seems pretty wide in the toe box area and seem to suit my wide feet. I hope that they last like my previous Inov8 shoes.

    Not as wide as X Claw275
  

*by N***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2019*

Having previously used iNov8 X Claw 275's which suited my wide feet I was a little disappointed that these shoes, which were a '4' on the iNov8  fit scale, are actually narrower. Reviews said they used the same sole plate but putting the two together shows about a 5mm difference. The grip is slightly better on wet rock but I suspect the rand will wear out over my little toes in due course.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Grippy and comfy
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2020*

A very nice version, feeling light on your feet and with good traction in the mud. Wider toe box was nice for descending and enough cushioning for tarmac interludes.
