The Inov-8 Bare-XF Pro Wide Fit Men’s Shoes gear you up in barefoot freedom, connection and complete trust in every step you take at the gym. This minimalist training shoe feels almost like an extension of your own body - a sock-like fit hugs your foot, the 0mm drop keeps you grounded in every lift and the close-to-ground feel gives you that raw sense of control that makes every movement feel intentional.

Whether you’re pulling heavy weight, powering through high-intensity workouts or climbing ropes with full commitment, these men’s gym and weightlifting shoes give you the stability, flexibility and protection you need without ever getting in your way. A stretch knit tongue and collar hugs snugly to your feet, while the wide fit offers a spacious design for natural toe splay.

At just 250g (size 9 USM), they’re incredibly light without compromise to durability, thanks to reinforced ROPE-TEC zones for challenging rope climbs. The KPU cupped heel locks you in under load and the sticky rubber traction keeps you planted even when your training pushes you to your limits.

For athletes who want to feel more and perform without hesitation, this is the barefoot gym shoe that moves with you, adapts with you and helps you lift, climb and train with absolute confidence.
