I placed my order over 2 weeks ago and haven’t received my shoes and I can’t get a tracking update. All it says is that the label has been created.

Please note that this is not a rating of the product, but my total disappoinment that the Roclite Hiking Boots now only come in a wide fit. I have had INOV8 hiking boots for years and they have been great, so on needing to replace my old boots, INOV8 were the first choice. It is also not clear on the website that it is a wide fit, so paying the cost of return is not great. Who on earth made the bizarre decision to only do wide :(

Hello.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
We're sorry to hear you have been dissapointed with the fit option for the Roclite GTX products. To confirm the difference in fit against the INOV8 standard fit is 0.5cms and only featured in the toebx to allow the toes to splay during the Hike. The heel and midfoot for both Standard and wide fit reamains close fitting to keep the foot locked in place.
The decision to only offer one fit option in the hike range was made due to both product tester and previous customer feeback.
We do appreciate all customer feedback as it can only help us improve in the future, we will be sure to pass your thoughts onto the product design team.
Once again we do apologise for the dissapointment caused.

Used your website size guide to measure feet and select size but that delivered us a shoe that was to small. Delivery was quick.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. Fit and feel is really personal and although we have designed the size guide to give you the best suggestion, this doesn't work for everyone, so we are sorry that the shoes were too small for you.
We do offer exchanges so if you haven't already, you can request that on our return portal and the team will process it for you once the original order is back and inspected. If you need any help setting up a return, please reach out to the team as they are happy to help.
All the best,

Comfortable & Stylish Urban Footwear
Number one in importance is that it is a real shop, and only 20 minutes away from me. So that’s another plus it’s in my city, & near to me.
The Secondly the staff, so helpful and they knew about the product and what was right for me.
Thirdly the INOV8 product has changed my walking and foot health. They look good and now I have found the shop and products I will shop there again

Hi Ali.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
After further investigation we can see both orders have succesfully refunded on to the original payment method ( one processed 20th May one processed 27th). We have asked the consumers care team to conact you via email to look into this and confirm the Refund ARN details.
In terms of returns costs, the information is shown on the product pages and in the returns terms and conditions, we can only apologise if this was not clear.
Best wishes.

Time for a fresh pair of Trail Flys
I used my previous pair of Trail Fly at parkrun on Saturday. I'd had them for a couple of years, and decided the time had come for a fresh pair. I ordered them on Saturday afternoon and they arrived Tuesday at noon. They were out on the trail for a 6 mile test run two hours later. Great shoes, great service.
