inov-8 ROCLITE PRO G 400 GTX boots, green

Looking for a lightweight, flexible, yet durable and stable shoe for any mountain adventure? Introducing the new generation of ROCLITE PRO G 400 with a waterproof GTX membrane.



ROCLITE PRO G 400 is not just a high-top running shoe. During the development of this model, we made sure that every element functions perfectly for specific outdoor use without compromising the INOV-8 DNA, which is deeply rooted in superior ground feel, great flexibility, and maintaining the natural function of the foot.



The new second generation of this popular trekking shoe features a completely redesigned upper. It remains just as spacious and comfortable, but is now made of extremely durable ripstop fabric that can withstand even the toughest terrain and does not absorb water, so the shoes do not get heavier when moving in wet conditions. The heel shape has also been changed for more secure foot lockdown.



The sole is made of a new generation ROCLITE tread, applied to a thinner base layer than ever before. This results in the superior grip that you have come to expect from the ROCLITE family of models, while achieving a significantly lower weight.



The midsole has an 8mm drop and is built on the proven 12/20mm geometry. However, all similarity with previous ROCLITE models ends here. A major innovation is the use of a META-PLATE PRO carbon plate, which transitions seamlessly from protecting the forefoot and midfoot to an external heel cup. This unique construction effectively connects the entire shoe from toe to heel for superior proprioception, stability, and foot protection. Cushioning is provided by POWERFLOW MAX energy foam.



The upper is built on a 4 width last (standard fit), so your transverse arches will have enough space for natural movement even on all-day hikes. The high upper with a hiking lacing system can be easily tightened to make ankle sprains a distant memory, allowing you to descend even the most technical terrain with confidence and assurance. Durability, thermal comfort, and foot protection are provided by a combination of a GTX membrane and ripstop fabric.



As a result, we get a shoe that, with its construction and functional properties, is much closer to hiking boots than running shoes, but compared to hiking boots, it offers significantly lower weight and, above all, incomparably better ground feel and natural behavior when walking and running.



The main domain of the ROCLITE PRO G 400 GTX is short and longer hikes where walking prevails over running, but occasional jogging is not a problem thanks to the balanced ratio of flexibility and stability.
