The call for a shoe that can handle difficult terrain has been answered. A shoe that is wide enough and cushioned enough to carry a heavy runner and withstand the load. That's where the Inov-8 X-TALON ULTRA 260 women's running shoes comes in. The outsole is based on the iconic aggressive X-TALON 225 grip, with the difference that the cleats have a larger surface area. The POWERFLOW midsole has an 8 mm drop and it is composed of two parts. The heel section has a softer compound and has a 10% higher level of cushioning, while the front section has a higher density, so it is slightly harder for a more effective spring. The protective DFB polymer ring follows the shape of the plantar fascia and improves spring. The upper is made of an extremely durable ballistic nylon with a waterproof coating. This material ensures that the upper retains its shape even in case when it gets wet. The seamless upper provides great comfort. Triple-reinforced toe protects them from injury.
