Inov-8 X Talon 260 Ultra

The X Talon 260 ultra is lighter than its predecessor with an improved forefoot shape (slightly less volume in the forefoot than the X Claw 275) to make it really fit really securely.

The outsole now has improved grip. Sticky grip – softer grippier rubber on the outside and harder, more durable rubber in the middle - for extra traction in wet and dry conditions. Deep 8mm lugs give claw like grip over soft and muddy terrain – fells, mountains, obstacle courses or boggy flat ground. The cleat pattern layout ensures no clogging occurs so you get the maximum benefit from the studs.

An 8mm drop Powerflow+ cushioned midsole gives extra shock absorption to guard against sore feet - Powerflow+ delivers 10% more shock absorption and 25% better energy return than standard EVA midsoles. Bonded overlays create a hard wearing upper with fewer seams to cause irritation. A rand around the upper and a toe bumper protect the feet from stones and other debris
