Size guide — please read before ordering

Inov8 shoes fit small: order 1 full size above your usual US size. Example: usual US 8 → order Inov8 size 9. Not sure of your usual size? Measure your foot length (cm) and use the table.

Width

This model comes in Wide fit. Measure your foot at its widest point and compare with the table (foot width in cm). Wide is our roomiest fit — ideal for wider feet.

How to measure

Stand on a sheet of paper against a wall, in the socks you run in, heel against the wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe and the widest points of your foot, then measure length and width in cm. Measure both feet, use the larger values, and measure late in the day.
