Maximum traction in mud and scree
The Mudtalon Speed V2 from Inov-8 are made for exactly those conditions where other trail-running shoes would have long since given up. With 8 mm deep, strategically-positioned lugs made from high-traction STICKYGRIP rubber, they really bite into soft ground - whether muddy forest paths, wet meadows or steep slopes. At the same time, mud and dirt are quickly loosened from the tread, which keeps their weight low and their traction consistently high. Plus, the sole also offers reliable grip on wet rock or slippery forest paths, making these shoes ideal for demanding trail runs or even mountain running in the Alps.
Responsive cushioning with ground sensitivity
Despite their aggressive outsole, the Mudtalon Speed V2 remain surprisingly dynamic. The combination of a FLYSPEED PRO midsole and BOOMERANG insole provides a balanced mix of cushioning and reactivity. As a result, you get enough protection for longer distances without losing your sensitivity for the ground - a real advantage on technically demanding trails. Meanwhile, the flexible Rockplate provides extra protection against sharp stones without restricting your mobility.
Fit that adapts to your feet
A real highlight of this model is the new anatomical fit with two variants. The Precision Fit is for narrower feet and maximum control on technical terrain, whereas the Wide Fit offers more toe room and greater comfort over long distances. Both versions wrap snugly around your feet without pinching to ensure a secure fit, even when changing direction quickly or crossing through varying terrain. Lastly, the reinforced toe caps round off the design and provide reliable protection from roots, stones and scree.
The advantages at a glance:
- 8 mm lugs with STICKYGRIP rubber for maximum traction in mud
- Reactive cushioning with good ground sensitivity thanks to FLYSPEED PRO
- Two fits for different foot types and running styles
- Protection through flexible Rockplate and reinforced toe cap
