Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

There wasn't two fits for the F-lite, but some other shoes had a different fit from the f-lite. They've just introduced that fit (which they call standard) as a wider fit for the f-lite.

I don't believe precision ever went away...

I'm always looking for wider fell shoes, and I'm sure those 190s have never been available in a wider fitting. Wider f-lites have been around for a while, but they didn't replace the narrower ones (think they had a different number).

Well that's really annoying. I renewed my pairs and have wasted money I guess. I'll contact Inov-8 and ask them directly when the 2 fits were made available.

There is also a grip issue with the X-Talons. Nowhere near as grippy as the previous model.

F-lite 262 was the wide version of the 230 (mens).

This may not help.

RS - I should also read better as I see you already knew that the precision fit was the old fit *embarrassed*

I bought my F-lite 195s at the beginning of 2013 and they were precision fit. The 192s I just got started as just standard fit, but they've introduced a precision fit for it.

OK - so either the running shop neglected to tell me about the 2 new fits
or
Inov-8 neglected to educate them.

I rarely buy on-line but there's an argument here to do that and get up-to-date info on replacement shoes. (I only go to Pete Bland anyway and they're an independent UK sho[.)
