I was told by a friend recently that his penchant for a bigger size of footwear for wideness was found by a podiatrist to be an arch problem. With appropriate inserts he took his shoes down a size and increased his long distance walking comfort.
seems ‘fallen arches’ and mitigation for those can make a big difference to footwear.
The Graphine used by Inov8 is very impressive. Much more grip than my Salomons and no sign of wear
Interesting! I use innov8 trailfly’s w graphene for off road running and find them decent on dry trails, decent on muddy (but nothing like XC) trails, but whenever it’s wet or slippery on asphalt / rocks they are - I find - just as scary as most other soles. I realise running is different to walking. I thought the graphene was to effectively extend their lifespan. They advertise 7-800km when running shoes are known and often advertised to collapse at about 500k~
they definitely do feel more durable than normal shoe foam. Definitely don’t find them wet stone grippy though. The tread pattern is great, not knocking them at all. I love them.
Been following this thread as I also have wide feet and really love my altra lone peaks for most things but wanted a boot with a bit more protection and weather proofing for hiking holidays in Scotland, Wales and Spain. Got some innov8 Roclite Pro G 400, 40 percent off arriving this week so will see how they go.
