The Inov-8 X-Talon 212 V2 men’s running shoes are excellent for trail running; the Stickygrip outsole provides good grip on every terrain.
Compare your insole length to the guide below. To find your insole length, measure your foot and add 1.5cm for a regular fit, 1cm for a snug fit or 2cm for a looser fit. If you are between sizes we recommend going for the larger size.
To measure your foot most accurately, stand on a tape measure with your heel against a wall. While standing up and looking over your foot, read the measurement at the end of your longest toe. Remember to measure both feet and use the measurement of your longer foot. Find out more here.
"Insole cm" is our in-store measurements of the shoe's insole."Brand cm" is the insole length the brand has given us, which is what you'll find on the box or on the brand's website.Our shoes are measured with the same method each time, so use the "Insole cm" column to get an accurate size you can compare across brands.

The Right Shoe Project
Shoes are made in many factories around the world and even models within the same brand can be quite different. To assist our customers in choosing the right size, we measure every shoe we receive. All this information is compiled so you can simply enter the length of your foot in centimetres, choose your preferred fit, and our calculator will recommend a size for you! Then, as you browse the website across various brands and models of shoes, we will provide a recommendation of your sizing in each model.
Still not sure? If you're in Brisbane, feel free to come in to our store in Milton for a fitting. Otherwise, you can contact our team for assistance and advice. If you would like to contribute to helping other customers please contact us with your shoe size, foot length and how well your shoes fit.

Great shoe, but beware! Shawn, 10 August 2024 These shoe are fantastic in the right conditions! So light and despite the low profile I have had no issues with feeling rocks through the sole. Perfect for short to medium distance races and runs in all DRY conditions. Excels in damp soil with crampon like grip, I am always confident of a good hold on most dry surfaces including rocks and roots with great feedback from the ground. Durability is usually pretty good, I can usually get a good year out of the sole and uppers with moderate use (2/3 runs per week). I do have major issues with the claims from the Inov-8 marketing department regarding their grip on wet surfaces. These shoes are deadly in the wet! By this I mean they have almost zero traction on wet rocks and roots. I know most shoes struggle in the wet, but these are probably the worst I have ever experienced. If you run on dry or damp soil, buy these shoes. If you have rock slabs or traverse a bit of bitumen etc in the wet, think again. Quality: Value for Money: Fit: Fit Tips: Pretty much true to size. I have a very wide foot and a high arch and they fit well. I don't struggle to get them on like I do with some Salomon shoes. Overall Rating:
