I missed out on some of their walking boots. I got some Roclite 345 from Sportshoes, they're OK but quite narrow. The new Inov8 models look good, with more room in the forefoot, but I haven't tried any yet.

They are meant to be bringing out some zero drop model this year (although they are also going to rationalise the range as it's got far too many models, so whether they ever appear who knows).
Gooner 11 Jan 9:14pm, 11 Jan 2025 23,092 posts	0 Gooner Inov-8 used to be great for me but as I got older or heavier or both, they're just too narrow sadly. I've had to revert back to less minimalist shoes for the time being because there is literally nothing out there in my price range that works for me.
