Inov8 MudTalon Precision Fit Women's Trail Running Shoes Black

Introducing the women's Inov-8 Mudtalon, in wide fit, a shoe with 8mm deep lugs designed to bite into mainly softer ground whilst trail and fell running. Inov-8's revolutionary POWERFLOW PRO midsole foam, its airiest yet, provides a blend of comfort and bounce, most noticeable on longer runs. This innovative foam midsole is thicker than that of the Mudtalon Speed, boosting comfort and resilience but without losing ground feel — a crucial requirement for navigating varied terrain.

The women's wide-fit Mudtalon has distinctive 8mm studs ideal for tackling hills and muddy trails that require a high level of traction, as well as being effective at gripping wet slippery rock. The women's Mudtalon has an anatomically inspired design that cradles your foot's natural shape, ensuring a snug, all round fit.

The Mudtalon is built to take on the harshest challenges, with a robust ballistic nylon upper to withstand wear and tear from debris, vegetation and harsh terrain. The MET-CRADLE feature ensures a secure heel lock, with thick overlays linking the midfoot and heel, while the sole's ROCK-PLATE shields against jagged hazards underfoot.

For runners seeking a reliable, high-performance shoe for soft, muddy paths, the Inov-8 Mudtalon combines traction, dynamic cushioning, and protection.

What's it got?

STICKYGRIP™ Outsole - 8mm STICKYGRIP™ rubber, talon-like studs deliver exceptional traction on soft mud, while also clinging onto wet rocks or harder trails. Underfoot a flexible META-SHANK rock plate protects you from sharp rocks, without compromising on ground-feel.

Powrflow Pro Midsole - With more cushioning than its cousin, the MUDTALON SPEED, the MUDTALON is a great choice for everyday training or longer races. The super-lightweight POWERFLOW PRO foam midsole provides high levels of cushioning, while still allowing the ground-feel needed for running over uneven, technical terrain.

Tough Ballistic Nylon Upper - provides excellent protection against wear and snags. At the same time a gusseted tongue stops debris entering the shoe and a toe guard protects against trail hazards. Thick MET-CRADLE strips connect the midfoot to the heel, creating a locked-in feel when you tighten the laces.

Boomerang Footbed - to preserve your energy on long runs. The insoles feature hundreds of foam beads that compress and spring back for 40% energy return during your stride. Perfect for longer runs where maximising every bit of energy counts.  

Choice of fits - The MUDTALON hugs the natural contours of your foot for an anatomical fit. Available in Precision and Wide fits. Go for the Precision Fit if you have narrow feet or like a closer feel. Go for this Wide Fit if you have wide feet or would like more room when running longer distances.
