I'm super excited to bring Inov-8 to our Ultralight Community. Inov-8 makes some of my favorite trail running shoes, which are all I use for hiking. I haven't worn boots in more than a decade, primarily because I found these and loved them so much. These are deceptively durable given how light they area. The X-Talons are more race oriented for fastpacking, running or those simply looking for the lightest shoe. We'll also soon have the Roclite shoes, which are designed a bit more for all-around use and are a bit heavier.

DannyMilksHey Danny how would you compare these to the Altras that have been dropped on here a few times? ( sincethey both have a similar price)
Also whats up with having to pay extra for the standard fit?

Summers@Summers - I started writing and reply and then realized a few photos would help illustrate the differences, so I created a more thorough (but still relatively quick) comparison over in Talk. The photos aren't great, but suffice for the job at hand. I hope others will add insight from their experiences with these two great brands! https://www.massdrop.com/talk/377/inov-8-and-altra-a-quick-and-dirty-comparison
