INOV8 Men's MUDTALON Speed V2 Running Shoe

Maul the mud in our new soft-ground speedster, built for racing and faster runs. The MUDTALON SPEED V2 lets you speed across muddy trails and hills with confidence, courtesy of its aggressive, mud-hungry 8mm lugs. The V2 benefits from a new and improved STICKYGRIP rubber compound – this new formula has increased wet slip resistance by 36% for dependable traction through slippery mud and over wet rocks. A new upper pattern along the midfoot increases the lockdown you get when the laces are tightened, giving you a more secure, locked in feel as you hurtle down steep hills. The upper also benefits from extra drainage holes, allowing water to exit the shoe quickly. Available in NATURALFIT Precision and Wide fits, the MUDTALON SPEED V2 fits securely around your heel and midfoot, with the shoe widening at the toe box to give your toes the chance to splay naturally as you land and push off. Precision fit is a snugger, more sock-like fit that will be familiar to fell/hill runners. Go Wide if your feet are a bit wider, or you’re running longer distances where your feet might swell. The MUDTALON SPEED V2 is a shoe inspired by the boggy Lake District fells where we’re based. Grippy, responsive and quick-draining, it thrives in the wettest, muddiest conditions, helping athletes who like to play dirty.

• Aggressive 8mm Studs: The signature of the MUDTALON Series is its aggressive 8mm studs. Offering outstanding off-trail grip and confidence to allow you nail steep uphills, descents and the boggiest of bogs! The length of the MUDTALON studs allows these mud-slayers to chew through the thickest of mud and come back begging for more.
• NATURALFIT: Locking in at the heel and midfoot for confidence-boosting control, our footwear widens at the toes, allowing them to splay and perform naturally. This allows you to reconnect with what's underfoot and achieve your full, natural potential. All MUDTALON Series footwear comes in a choice of Precision or Wide fit. Go Precision for a snugger, more sock-like fit. Go wide if you have wider feet or prefer more room for your toes on longer runs.
• New & Improved POWERFLOW PRO Midsole: With the next generation of MUDTALON shoes, we’ve taken the opportunity to innovate further with the POWERFLOW PRO midsole. This super-lightweight foam provides high levels of cushioning, while still allowing the ground-feel needed for running over uneven, technical terrain. We’ve also made the foam slightly firmer, helping to increase the lifespan of the shoe.
• New & Improved STICKYGRIP Rubber Outsole: We’ve re-formulated our STICKYGRIP rubber for the second generation of the MUDTALON Series. The new formula retains the same dependable grip and improves on it, with a 36% increase in wet slip resistance compared to the V1 MUDTALON Series. So whether it’s thick sloppy mud, or treacherous wet rock, our new formula STICKYGRIP is more dependable than ever.
