Inov-8 TRAILFLY™ MAX: Maximum Cushion Meets Maximum Control

When the trail stretches endlessly ahead, the inov-8 TRAILFLY™ MAX is the shoe built to take you there — and back again. Designed specifically for ultra-distance runners and long training days, this max-cushioned trail machine combines cutting-edge foam technology, natural biomechanics, and durable traction to keep you moving fast and feeling fresh over hard-packed trails and technical terrain.

The hero of the TRAILFLY™ MAX is the all-new FLYSPEED™ PRO midsole, a nitrogen-infused supercritical EVA foam that delivers incredible energy return, low weight, and plush impact absorption. With 24mm in the heel and 18mm in the forefoot, this high-rebound platform smooths out long hours on your feet without muting trail feel.

Beneath the foam, a 6mm BOOMERANG footbed adds even more bounce, stability, and responsiveness, giving you that pop-off-the-ground feeling mile after mile. And with underfoot flex grooves, you get a flexible, agile ride that still feels natural and controlled even on rocky or uneven ground.

The outsole is armed with Graphene-enhanced rubber — renowned for its grip, durability, and wet-weather traction— and shaped with 4mm multidirectional lugs to cut through loose trail and deliver confident footing on mixed terrain.

Up top, a natural foot-shaped design allows your toes to spread and work naturally, while MET-CRADLE overlayslock in the heel and midfoot for a secure, dialed-in fit. The result is a trail shoe that’s maximally cushioned, incredibly responsive, and built for ultra performance without compromise.

• Trail and ultra runners seeking max cushion for long-distance efforts
