This outdoor shoe weighs 300 gr is scarce, waterproof (GTX) and has a very grippy sole, with which one is super safe on the road on wet wood or grass. The shoe inside is secured under the laces again through a closed tab to moisture. Although the shoe feels rather thin and not as stable for the transitional period, but this is deceptive. I was in the last few weeks a lot of damp cold from -2 to 10 ° C on the go (even in the snow) and maintained consistently warm, dry feet. For longer walks with heavy wet I would still pull spats over it, then you can actually (almost) nothing more can happen. As with all GTX shoes I use this shoe woolen socks (Falcon) and bulky (Meindl). With smooth socks I feel the climate in the GTX shoe when moving quickly as unpleasant and heel and toe are rather irritated. To Fit: This shoe is cut normal. I wear shoes in size 38 and because of the thicker socks I have size 38.5 reserve. By lacing the shoe is suitable for both small as well as for wider feet suitable as mine. He looks forward rather narrow, but the toes have really good place. The insole is removable, so you can also wear insoles. Overall, it has the lightness of the shoe and the flexible soles almost feel of barefoot running. Great Abrollgefühl! Despite this, the foot is secured to the ankle. In all, of course, it remains a trekking shoe. Over hills and up to the first mountain pasture you can go with him, for big mountain tours, he would not be sufficient. The service by the company. ActivInstinct and Amazon was excellent. The delivery took a while, but that's when Inov-8 shoes are not so easy to come by in Germany, normally. Therefore, I find it commendable that ActivInstinct has the brand at all in range.
