5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoes; perfect replacment for pre 7.0 Nanos
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2021
Size: 10.5Color: Red/GumVerified Purchase
Very very pleased with these shoes. As soon as I put these shoes on, I knew they were going to be great. They fit well and are very comfortable. I lifted in them on my first workout and they are very stable shoes. I have wide feet and they fit perfectly. Unlike some of the other reviews, I have no problems with fit or this weird mention of an arch bump. I had a pair of Inov-8 F-Lite 195s a few years ago, and I was not crazy about them. These however, I am crazy for and will order another set. I've been searching for shoes to replace my Nano 5.0s and these are perfect. Lightweight, low profile, minimalist, low drop and just enough cushion for short runs. Out of the box, I ran 1.5 miles and they felt great. I wouldn't recommend these for running anything longer than 2mi. Outside of that, they are one of the best pair of gym shoes I've owned. Better than my F-Lite 195s, Reebok Crossfit Speed TRs, New Balance Minimus 20V7, and Asics Weldon Xs. They are an extremely close comparison to the Crossfit Nano 5.0s (which were my favorite). Very very good gym shoes.

I bought these to replace a pair that I have form a a couple years ago. The fit is about the same, they perform the same. I use them for Xfit lifting moves. they have almost no cushion which is what they are supposed to be like which helps transfer power and stability for heavy lifting.

Review for Men’s F-lite 235 v3: I have wide, flat feet and I can hardly ever find shoes that don’t make my feet sore as soon as I stand in them. These fit like gloves right out of the box. They hug just enough without constricting at all or rubbing any of my toes. I have done a few cardio and strength workouts in them now and I am ready to buy another pair already. My only concern is that I cannot dedicate them to them to the gym. These are probably the only things on my feet besides flip flops from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good replacement for the Nano 2
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020

What do you do when your favorite cross trainer (Reebok Nano 2.0) has been out of production for years, and you can't find anyone that still sells that in your size? You get the Invo-8 F-Lite 235 V3.

The specs are very similar to the Nano 2.0, and it doesn't have the ridiculously large flared out heal that seems to be all the rage these days.

My only gripe with these shoes is the tongue is too thin. I get it, lightweight is a huge feature for Inov-8 shoes, but a little padding would eliminate some mild discomfort across the top of the foot. You probably won't notice it if only sweating the shoes for a workout, but if you have them on for several hours you can get some discomfort.

Other than that the shoes are a great cross trainer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not even close to the same as the F lite 235 v1
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020

Inov-8 took the best shoe in the history of the Earth (the F lite 235v1) and...completely ruined it. This shoe is substantially narrowed than the v1, both in the toe box and the heel. It's stiff, and it feels like a running shoe. Not good if what you want is something like the F lite 235 v1. This really shouldn't be considered the same shoe. Build quality and appearance is great, so I don't want my disappointment to sway your buying, just understand that this IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to the F lite 235 v1. Otherwise probably a great show for other people.

4.0 out of 5 stars 画竜点睛を欠く逸品
Reviewed in Japan on April 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
履き心地、動きやすさ、疲れにくさは、今まで履いた同価格帯のスニーカーと比較してもダントツに良いレベルで文句のつけようがありません。ただ1点最大の欠点は、靴紐の表面の加工感が滑りやすい事が原因で、靴紐が極めてほどけやすい事。この事に気が付いてから絞め殺さんばかりに力を入れて靴紐を結び、通常の靴紐ならほどけなくなるレベルで靴紐を締め上げていますが、それでも2時間に1回は靴紐を結び直さなければなりません。自分は普段使いですが、本来の用途であるサーキットトレーニングやトレイルランニング等で活用される方の場合は、それ以上の頻度で靴紐に悩まされると思います。靴紐自体の質は非常によいので、表面の滑りやすい加工だけをマイナーチェンジですぐ変更して頂きたいです。靴紐表面の滑りやすい加工感以外は文句のつけようがないレベルで高品質で、これからも代を重ねて愛用していきたい逸品なので、その点だけ切に希望致します。

追記
使用して数か月が経過しましたが、靴紐を締め上げ続けた結果、ようやく靴紐の緩みが改善されてきました。かといって紐自体はそれほどへたっていないので、紐の質を維持して表面の加工感の変更だけ切に希望します。
