Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 Gore-Tex

The Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 Gore-Tex® are the type of shoes that have changed our minds about ankle high hiking boots. These are lightweight and agile.

 

Testing we immediately noticed that the Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 Gore-Tex® is very snug fitting, narrow and precise. Don’t expect loads of comfy foam padding. But the Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 Gore-Tex® limited padding doesn’t prevent it from being comfortable in motion. You have direct sensations with the ground and we really appreciated the quality of foot positioning and its precision. You do have similarities with a trail running shoe. It has a big sole especially at the heel.

 

The ankle is still nice and flexible (all round) and the stride is soft. The torsional rigidity is much stiffer, they are definitely fast-hiking shoes.

 

The Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 Gore-Tex® has an effective membrane. We just regret that the brand didn’t make the boot a bit higher to prevent snow from slipping inside.

 

Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 Gore-Tex was tested in all conditions and recently in winter conditions. It provides good waterproofness and stays warm when you aren’t moving around. It is 100% perfect for fast hiking.

 

Its sole has a good combination of grip and flexibility for speed. In other words, there aren’t big lugs but a sole that enables quick walking and grip in all conditions. So, it is average all round, in deep mud the grip is less but on stone slabs, grassy sections, and woodland areas it is very agile.

 

Foot strike is clear, direct, stable and precise. There’s not much in the way of cushioning though.

With an 8-mm drop it sits perfectly in its range of usage.

 

We also appreciated the lacing system. Plenty of volume at the forefoot, and if you want closer adjustment you must tighten from the front eyelet by eyelet. At the instep the laces slide well and at the ankle they sit neatly in the hooks and stay in place. So adjustment is rapid, precise, and secure.

 

The heel is well held. It could be slightly tighter but of course it also depends on your morphology.

 

The stone guard does a good job and isn’t too stiff, and also doesn’t change the balance between fore and aft.

 

The Inov8 Roclite Pro G 400 Gore-Tex® is a tough fast-hiking shoe, which is precise, and protects you from all number of terrain technical types. It combines rustic with lightness.
