Evoskins From Inov-8 (5 Comments)
Spotted on t'interweb thingy.
Surely these can't be for real. They look like condoms for feet and until such time as my feet become reproductive organs, I won't be wearing these. That said, some of the other upcoming Inov-8 products look appealing. The green ones on the far right are apparently called "BARE-GRIP 200" with a 0mm lift throughout. These could be the perfect cross-country/trail shoe for the barefoot runner wanting a little bit of off-road protection.

I know looks aren't everything, but.......
Reckon my big toenails would be through those inside an hour!
Have you not seen the review posted by one of the UK retailers?

Thanks Sarah. I hadn't seen that review, but the comments do raise an interesting question about "breathability". That said, there's nothing to go smelly.
Still not my cup-o-tea. Think I'll stick with my gorgeous bare piggies for the moment.
Hi everyone - great shoes! I love the idea of my feet being encased and unable to move around. They do look like prophylactic devices though... Here's what I run in - look at that price. The original and still the best! All our best runners used to train and do XC in these including Bob Graham (google Bob Graham Round!): http://www.schoolpumps.co.uk/plimsolls/black-lace-up-toe-/prod_7.html
Nice one David. If I remember correctly, this is what Gordon Pirie wore most of the time too.
