This is a good shoe basically. However, I did a lot of thinking and decided to remove two stars from my rating. One for poor longevity and one for a really awkward fit. Here's my full opinion in a Pros & Cons form:*Pros:- Outsole: Perfect. Just enough flexibilty, just enough protection, good grip, also great on pavement.- Upper: Very breathable and drains well. These are also great as water shoes.- Fit around the ankle: perfect.*Cons:- Very awkward fit. This is the main issue here. I followed the Shoefitr app and went a full size up from my usual. When shoes first arrived I thought they were too big. No they weren't. The 12.5 US I bought actually has the same inside length as other shoes I wear in size 11.5 US. Just so you have the refernce, I either tried on or used extensively all the following models, all in size 11.5US, all had great fit with distinct characteristics: Inov-8 X-talon 212, Merrel Trail Glove, Salomon Speedcross 3 & Sense pro, Brooks Cascadia 9, Saucony Peregrine 3 & 4. So why does the Trailroc 255 feels so weird? This is because the front portion of the shoe is SLANTED INWARDS. This causes 2 things to happen: A) I had a lot of excess space on the side of the foot. This made me stumble over rocks and small obstacles I wouldn't otherwise (very annoying). B) My big toe was safe from harm but my smaller toes kept pressing on to the side of the shoe. I ended up having blackened toenails on my smaller, rather than my big toes. WEIRD. Never happened to me before. Again: Shoes are the right size, right length, right volume but has a very strange shape, at least compared with other shoes I tried. I can't understand why would Inov-8 deviate so much, both in fit and sizing, from the X-talon, a shoe that I loved and raced to the ground. But than again, fit can differ from person to person. So take this with a grain of salt.- Longevity: Very poor. Outsole started separating after roughly 100 Km of use. I managed to fix it with some Super Glue but the shoes would have been otherwise trashed after 200 Km more or less. Also, The insoles started riding up in some point which I could only fix by throwing and replacing them with some Saucony insoles I had left from an older pair. All in all, shoes did survive the task eventually but trail dedicated shoes are expected to have longer life than this.- Style: Not a major consideration, but these shoes have an odd design. Let's just say that they look best covered with mud and are not very suitable for around town use (Sorry I do need to get off the mountain and into the city occassionaly).*Bottom line:Buy these shoes only after you've tried them on.Hope this helps... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect long range shoe *by J***M on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on November 5, 2013* Like most overuse injuries I have recently suffered from one late in my taper for the JFK 50 miler (Nov 21st), so I decided to get a shoe with some cushion and drop.For two weeks every run, even low effort runs was bothering the injured foot. After a couple days of walking and dog runs I got my confidence up and took it on a run at the closest mountain.After my overuse issues at recent marathon I had no expectations for the rocky firebreak road up the 850 foot mountain near my house. My climbs were typical if not a little strong, but on the decent a was flying. The rockplate, cushion and grip made that rough road decent the fastest I ever had and I PR'd my six mile two summit effort by 4.15 minutes. The decent is usually pretty nerve racking, and only a matter of time before I hit a rock the wrong way so I am tentative and reserved. I have run up there with the best shoes on the market, NB MT110s, INOV8 Trailroc 235s, and Brooks Cascadia's and these were the best shoes for most trail running situations.Don't get me wrong these don't match the grip of the MT 110s and if I was doing something more steep, technical and shorter then I am wearing the NBs. I prefer zero drop but there are times when you just need cushion. That time is usually late in a race when you will need the great toe box as well.An an odd note for INOV8 shoe's this was the first pair I didn't feel confident running in right out of the box. I had to wear them in a couple of days. Its not something that effects my review because I expect to do that with most shoes but I have never had to with INOV8 before. It only took about two days of walking in them though. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid shoe, fits as expected *by J***G on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on September 15, 2014* i purchased this pair of Inov-8 Trailroc 255 Trail Running Shoes specifically for obstacle course racing and after going through one race, there is no going back. these shoes were absolute lifesavers going up and down hills, and great on trail runs. i honestly can't think of any issues specific to the shoes themselves. whatever problems i experienced were related specifically to the race conditions (ie. sand/silt getting into the shoe through the mesh after wading through puddles/lakes, hitting the top of the toe box only because of soaked running socks and running downhill). i expect these to be solid on trail runs and will even use them for lighter hiking shoes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/2268390-inov-8-trailroc-255-trail-running-shoe](https://www.desertcart.it/products/2268390-inov-8-trailroc-255-trail-running-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
