"The arrives in the wake of the popular Inov8 TrailFly, a shoe designed for dry-weather conditions from a brand better known for its mud-specific shoes. With a similar lower-profile outsole to the original TrailFly, and with more foam underfoot for added comfort on extended efforts, the TrailFly Max is a thoughtfully cushioned evolution of one of my favorite trail shoe platforms that allows me to partake in my joy for going far."
"The standard-width TrailFly Max has an actual weight of 9.9 ounces (280 grams) for a U.S. men's 9, with a stack height of 24 millimeters at the heel and 18 millimeters at the toe to yield a moderate 6-millimeter drop. The outsole offers just enough traction to contend with some technicalities but remains significantly reigned in from the mud-eating outsoles of some of Inov8's most classic models."
"The Inov8 TrailFly Max upper is comprised of air-mesh that appears fairly identical to that of the standard TrailFly. The design achieves its goal of providing breathability and comfort. It has been my experience that Inov8 perfects the components of the shoe I value the most and spares over-engineering the details. The lacing and tongue are perfectly old school and simple. I have a narrow midfoot and bunioned forefoot that can be easily perturbed by any unwanted pressure to the head of the metatarsal."
The Inov8 TrailFly Max is a cushioned evolution of the TrailFly platform, adding more foam underfoot for comfort on extended efforts while retaining a lower-profile outsole suited to dry conditions. The standard-width men's US 9 weighs 9.9 ounces (280 g) with a 24 mm heel and 18 mm toe stack, producing a 6 mm drop. The outsole provides moderate traction for technical terrain without the aggressive lugs of Inov8's mud-focused models. The air-mesh upper delivers breathability and comfort. The lacing and tongue are simple and traditional. The shoe offers an anatomically precise, svelte midfoot fit that accommodates narrow feet and bunions. Versatility spans many seasons and distances, excluding snow.
