Fantastic service
UP DATE
Used these shoes for my first 7k run today. They were fantastic!! I didn’t slip, trip out fell over. So very pleased with them
Fantastic service. I missed out on the 10%discount. I emailed to see if I could still get it and first thing the next morning I got a reply saying yes of course. I can’t give a review just yet on the shoes as I haven’t worn them yet, but my friend swears by them

The boots are ridiculously too small
The boots are ridiculously too small, sizing is out too much and I ended up having to pay for delivery for another pair of boots to arrive and they took was way too small..get your act together and sort out the sizing on these boots..get the measurements right .I went up a size..and I needed 2.5 sizes bigger .so wrong..

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback, but we are sorry to hear the boots weren't the right size for you. The majority of our customers find that the size the guide suggests works best for them, but as fit and feel is so personal, some customers do need to size up or down slightly due to personal preference. We will pass your feedback to the design team though so they can take it on board for future developments.
All the best,
The INOV8 team
Great staff
The team at the forge store were excellent today, really helped me make the decision on which trainers would be best for my ultra marathon. I really appreciated their assistance
