INOV8 is a British running brand founded in 2003 in the Lake District. It started with fell running, where grip on wet grass, mud and rock matters more than anything else, and that focus still shapes the range today.

At Compass Point we stock INOV8 across shoes, clothing and running packs. The Mudtalon range (V2, Wide and Precision) is built for soft, muddy ground and is a popular choice for orienteering in forest terrain, which is why it sits in our orienteering shoes as well as trail shoes. For firmer trails and mixed ground there are the Trailtalon and TrailFly lines, from the light TrailFly Speed and zero-drop TrailFly Zero to the cushioned TrailFly Max. The RoadFly Zero covers road running.

The range continues with the Stormshell V2 waterproof running jacket, Racepac hydration vests, soft flasks, race belts, All Terrain gaiters, gloves, headbands and running socks.

Where to start: browse trail running shoes for the full shoe line-up, hydration vests for longer races and mountain marathons, and waterproof jackets for kit-list events. Not sure which shoe suits your terrain? Our guide to choosing orienteering shoes for UK terrain compares grip and fit.

INOV8 shoes come in men’s and women’s versions, and most models are held in stock in a run of UK sizes with delivery across the UK.
