Step into the Inov-8 Bare-XF V2 Wide Fit Men’s Shoes and feel an instant connection to the ground beneath you. Weighing just 210g, the moment you lace up in these zero drop gym shoes, the updated engineered air mesh upper wraps your feet with lightweight freedom. 

The generous NATURALFIT design and wide toe box lets your toes splay naturally, giving you comfort, power and stability with every rep. Durable KPU overlays give you confidence to push harder, climb higher and move with intention. 

Every session feels more natural thanks to the training shoe’s minimalist, close-to-ground feel - no midsole, just responsive movement. The enhanced ROPE-TEC MET-CRADLE supports you when your workout gets gritty during rope climbs, fighting off friction and boosting protection. The MET-CRADLE locks in your feet at the midfoot and heel, so you’re ready for any challenge. 

Whether you're lifting heavy, tackling rope climbs or chasing that perfect flow state, these barefoot training shoes empower you to perform the way your body was built to move. With the grippy INOV8 rubber outsole underfoot, you can trust every step, lift and explosive jump.
