inov-8 ROCLITE 345 GTX v2 shoes, blue

The ROCLITE G 345 GTX is a popular crossover that combines the benefits of running and hiking shoes. From the running world, it takes high comfort, low weight, and excellent ground feel. From hiking shoes, the ROCLITE G 345 GTX borrows a high upper that firmly hugs the ankle and a waterproof Gore-tex membrane.



The new second generation comes with a redesigned upper that can hold the ankle more securely thanks to higher lacing with a hook. The repositioning of the reinforcements to the rear part of the shoe then gives much more space for the transverse arch and toes while maintaining a medium-wide fit (3/medium).



ROCLITE is the cut diamond among crossover shoes. A large part of this is due to the excellently designed sole, which provides superior grip and, at the same time, very good durability. The new generation ROCLITE 345 GTX takes this standard a level higher by enriching the sole with graphene, which has been awarded the Nobel Prize. The result is even better grip on all types of surfaces while maintaining top-notch flexibility and abrasion resistance. ROCLITE is most at home on soft ground, where you will fully utilize the 6 mm high studs. However, thanks to the high density of the tread pattern and its large contact area, ROCLITE does not lose its grip on hard surfaces or roads, making it a perfectly versatile companion for any conditions.



The ROCLITE 345 GTX model utilizes all these advantages and transfers them from the running to the hiking environment. On a purely running sole and midsole, you will find a sturdy upper in the style of high hiking boots. The result will exceed all your expectations. On your feet, you will have an incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and agile shoe with reliable grip, providing a level of ankle support and fixation that no running shoe offers.



The presence of the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane is also important, keeping your feet dry even in the heaviest downpours and significantly increasing thermal comfort. All this while maintaining excellent breathability. Furthermore, the new generation of GORE-TEX invisible fit is much softer and more flexible, so you won't even feel that you are wearing a shoe with a membrane.



The drop here is 8 millimeters, and the cushioning layer in the forefoot has the same height. This means that in the ROCLITE 345 GTX, you will be able to read the terrain perfectly, and the shoes will reliably guide you through technical sections. The POWERFLOW cushioning compound, with its higher softness and energy return, ensures excellent comfort. The midsole is complemented by a META-PLATE reinforcement. You don't have to worry about sharp stones or loss of flexibility, as the reinforcement used effectively protects your feet without negatively impacting the flexibility of the entire shoe.
