I have just learnt that this shoe is the only one in the range not to feature the ‘Dynamic Fascia Band’ – a stiffer mid-section of the sole that flexes to help propel your foot as it lands and pushes away again. Accordingly, this shoe has been designed for elite runners and those with a refined natural running style.” I am still working on my own refined running style, and even after the paltry 15-minute trot at the beginning of the program my feet and calves feel well worked. “With its unique injection moulded Fusion Sole™ and a 1 Arrow Shoc-Zone™ the 155 gives incredible proprioceptive feedback, minimum cushioning and an addictively relaxed, natural foot position. You can really feel the ground beneath you every lump and bump, and you will be punished for landing heavily on your heel – something that I am still struggling to avoid on downhill sections. The 1-Arrow Shoc-Zone means that there is next to no cushioning in the sole and that the heel is only 3mm higher than the rest of the foot.
They are described by Inov-8 as “an uncompromising minimalist racing flat that promotes an efficient, natural running style.” After 16 weeks following Inov-8’s Transition Training Program wearing the 2 Arrow Shoc-Zone Road-X 233s, I stepped down into the 1 Arrow Shoc-Zone shoes to start the program again.
#INOV8 ROAD X LITE SERIES#
These shoes are the next in the series on my transition to barefoot natural running. I actually really like the colour, and it certainly doesn’t look out of place when actually running. I first wore them to the shops where I bumped into someone I knew who commented that with shoes like this I ought to be wearing a white shell-suit, big gold chains, a jaunty baseball cap and answer to the name T-Diddy. Wow on two counts because they’re very yellow, and because there’s no weight to them – 155g is incredibly light for a shoe. Wow! That’s what first came to mind when these first appeared.
