Inov8 MudTalon Speed

The Inov8 MudTalon Speed is built for runners who head out when the trail turns to sludge. Drawing on Inov8’s soft-ground heritage, it pairs an aggressive outsole with a nimble, close-to-the-ground feel that’s ideal for fell running, steep muddy climbs, and fast technical descents. Underfoot, a responsive POWERFLOW PRO midsole and BOOMERANG footbed add cushioning and pop without dulling trail feedback, while an anatomical fit locks the heel and midfoot down and leaves room up front for natural toe splay.

• Offered in Precision and Wide fit options to match a snug race feel or a roomier toe box
