How does the Mudtalon differ from the Mudtalon Speed?

The Mudtalon has a slightly thicker midsole, so it gives more comfort and bounce over long distances. The Mudtalon Speed is the lighter, racier option.

What kind of terrain is it made for?

Soft and muddy ground, hills and mountains. The 8mm studs are designed to bite into mud and still hold on wet rock.

Can I run on roads in it?

It is a fell and trail shoe with deep studs, so it is not built for pavement. Hard surfaces will wear the studs and feel harsh.

Does it still let me feel the ground?

Yes. Despite the cushioning, Inov-8 designed the midsole so you can feel and respond to the terrain underfoot.

Is it good for long distances?

Yes. The thicker midsole and Powerflow Pro foam are aimed at comfort over long days on soft ground.

Our take on the INOV8 Men's Mudtalon Trail Running Shoes

The Inov-8 Mudtalon is a trail and fell running shoe built for soft, muddy ground. Its 8mm talon-shaped studs dig into mud and grip wet rock, and the goat's-hoof stud shape sheds mud on push-off. The Powerflow Pro midsole is Inov-8's lightest foam, with a slightly thicker stack than the Mudtalon Speed for more comfort and bounce over long distances while still letting you feel the ground. It suits runners who train on hills, mountains and mud and want a softer ride than a pure race shoe like the Mudtalon Speed.

About the INOV8 Men's Mudtalon Trail Running Shoes

The Mudtalon is a trail and fell running shoe for everyday training over any distance on soft and muddy ground. It is built for hills, mountains and mud.

The outsole has talon-like 8mm studs that gouge through soft mud and cling to wet rock for grip and traction. The studs have a goat's hoof shape that releases mud as you push off.

The midsole uses POWERFLOW PRO foam, the brand's lightest midsole foam yet. It is slightly thicker than the Mudtalon Speed for more comfort and bounce over long distances. It is also designed so you can still feel and respond to the ground beneath you.
