A shoe that has been around since we can't remember, the classic lightweight Inov-8 X-Talon 212 V2 boasts Inov-8's STICKYGRIP rubber delivering outstanding grip over soft, wet terrain, and flies with confidence over hard, dry trail too.

• STICKYGRIP™ rubber for incredible off-trail traction
• 212g weight per shoe for speed & responsiveness
• 8mm deep lugs for uncompromising grip in mud
• Precision-fit keeps the foot secure and gives nimble feel
• Super-tough upper for durability and protection

An evolution of the decade-old X-TALON 212 legend, the V2 is perfect for both racing and training, giving runners sticky traction, protection and agility over trails, fells, mountains and obstacle courses (even swimrun too).

Traction feet can trust

Proven iconic 8mm long studs claw through all soft terrain and also hold firm on harder ground, allowing you to run faster and trust your feet. The improved grip from the StickyGrip rubber provides confidence-boosting traction over both wet and dry underfoot conditions.

Go light, fast and natural

Weighing just 212 g (average weight across size curve) and boasting incredible flexibility, the X-Talon 212 compliments the foot's natural movement and increases both speed and agility.

Get comfort and protection

Injected EVA midsole ensures greater underfoot comfort, even on rough, steep terrain. An extended rand on the upper protects against debris and improves the shoe's durability.

Choice of champions

Does it all, over all distances, as proven by the number of champions who've worn the Inov8 X-Talon 212 win titles on mountains, fell, trails and over obstacle courses (and even swimrun).
