Inov8 Race Ultra 270 Trail Running Shoes Take on the Trail with Style and functionality Building on the success of the award-winning Race Ultra 290, the latest increment is lighter than the predecessor, introducing the Inov-8 Race Ultra 270 Trail Running Shoes. Developed with the aid of top international ultra runners, the Race Ultra 270 will give long-distance athletes an even faster weapon in their running shoe armoury. Delivering increased levels of proprioception, the shoes work harmoniously with the feet retaining optimal cushioning resulting in greater comfort. Bringing you closer to the terrain with a reduced 4mm drop (heel to toe differential), the RACE ULTRA 270 is more responsive and most importantly more comfortable than its predecessor. Designed with Meta-Shank Generation III, a multi-finger polymer Meta-Shank aligns with each individual metatarsal for increased benefit from the 'Windless Effect'. Underfoot impact protection and flexibility remain intact, ensuring a stable ride is attained. Sunken lugs welded into the outsole, provide durable traction on uneven terrain, enabling a greater purchase when battling differing surfaces. With the foot sitting slightly lower to the ground than usual, stability and responsiveness are thoroughly catered for. Constructed for softer surfaces, the Ultra 290s' deliver extra traction, more durable uppers and extra protection from the terrain. Built with a wider toe box to allow the toes to splay, these shoes are perfect for the forefoot striker, athletes with a wider foot and when lifting heavy weights. These shoes truly are multifaceted.
