Hi everyone. I've read as many posts about Inov-8 as possible. I hike in the Adirondacks where the trails are very rocky. I currently use Montrail Namche, Salomon Mega Trek 6 or TNF Ultra 104a all of which have beefier soles than I would expect with the Inov-8.
The Inov-8s have received glowing reviews and would like to lighten the load but am not sure they would be appropriate for the Adirondacks.
Would the various Inov-8 shoes be able to handle the rocks? I've worn running shoes before and have had the bottoms of my feet become horribly sore from too little support from the shoe's bottom especially when descending on rocks.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
