Product Description

Built to let your feet walk the walk, our minimalist BARE-XF™ V2 gives you that close to the ground/barefoot feel when working out. Whether lifting, functional fitness, running or walking, the BARE-XF™ offers a perfect blend of freedom and protection – less shoe, more you.

Featuring improvements to its upper and ROPE-TEC™ MET-CRADLE, the BARE-XF™ V2 builds on the success of its predecessor. The upgraded ROPE-TEC™ MET-CRADLE gives increased protection from rope friction, increasing the shoe’s durability. As well as this, the improved MET-CRADLE gives a better lock down, providing that secure feeling in the heel and the midfoot. On the upper KPU overlays replace the 3D overlays from the first generation BARE-XF™, again enhancing the protection and durability of the shoe.

Our proprietary INOV8 rubber balances high grip with longevity, allowing you to lift and run in complete confidence.

With no midsole whatsoever, you’ll feel connected to the ground. Our new NATURALFIT™ enhances this natural feel too, with a wide toe box that allows your toes to splay and your feet to feel free.

The ultimate in lightweight, minimalist protection, the BARE-XF™ V2 is the shoe that lets you train as if barefoot, working with your natural movement like it’s not there at all.

Product care

GYM FOOTWEAR

To maximise the life of your gym shoes, make sure you dry them fully after every workout. You should clean them periodically too, to maintain the breathability of the shoe’s upper.

WASHING:

For best results hand wash your shoes as close to the end of your workout as possible. To wash your shoes:

  1. Remove the insoles and loosen or remove the laces.
  2. Rinse your shoes under cold running water while brushing off any dirt (an old toothbrush is perfect for this).
  3. For stubborn dirt, grime and odours we recommend using Grangers® Footwear & Gear Cleaner spray to clean and refresh your shoes.

DRYING:

Place your shoes in a warm room, an airing cupboard or outside (but not in direct sunlight) to dry. Do not dry your shoes in a tumble drier or next to radiators, fireplaces or hot summer sunlight.

You can speed up the drying process by removing the shoe’s insole and shoelaces, and by stuffing them with newspaper.

Make sure your shoes are completely dry before wearing again.

Warranty

We pride ourselves on the quality and performance of our products. However, in the unlikely event of a fault of defect, all INOV8 products come with a 12-month warranty.

This warranty excludes:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Misuse
  • Accidental damage
  • Issues caused by not following the products care instructions

  1. Grippy Rubber Outsole
    Keep your footing with our 2.5mm thick grippy rubber outsole. Lightweight grip for any gym-based exercise, including weightlifting, cardio, functional movements, walking and running.

  2. No Midsole = More Natural Feel
    Feel the ground beneath you. A close to the ground design gives you a more natural/barefoot feel. Most gym shoes have a thick wedge of midsole foam to cushion impacts. The BARE-XF™ PRO does away with this to enhance spatial awareness and control of your feet.

  3. Protective Features
    The BARE-XF™ PRO benefits from a number of protective features, while still retaining that natural feel. A toe bumper guards against painful stubs during exercises such as burpees. A KPU cupped heel gives you better stability when lifting. And a KPU Adapterweb overlay gives the shoe more structural support and protection too.

  4. Sock-Like Fit
    Constructed using the sachetto method - a premium technique usually reserved for leather lined shoes - the BARE-XF™ PRO benefits from a seamless interior, as the seam is turned outwards. There is no insole in the shoe, courtesy of the BARE-XF™ PRO's comfortable inner sock, which is stitched directly to the upper. Coupled with a stretch knit tongue and collar, the shoe is extremely comfortable and flexible - exactly the fit you want with a minimalist training shoe.

  5. ROPE-TEC
    Protection and durability during rope climbs. ROPE-TEC technology embedded into the midsection of the outsole and around the arch of the foot gives protection from friction on rope climbs, and delivers increased durability.
