Inov8 Roclite 370 replacement

I use orthotics and usually have to remove the original insole.  Because of that I’m always looking for shoes that have lots of cushioning.

Would the Lowa qualify? I’m wearing out some Hoka One One Rapa Nui shoes now.  The replacement Stinson seems too narrow in the footbox.

“Would the Lowa qualify? I’m wearing out some Hoka One One Rapa Nui shoes now.”

Not if you’re looking for a shoe like the Hoka series. The Innox is lightly cushioned and focuses on support rather than cushioning. I also use orthotics, and have not found the lack of cushioning to be a problem. This is likely due to the fact that there is some cushioning built into the forefoot of my orthotics.

Tom, I found a pair of non-GTX TNF Ultra Fastpack mids on sale, and I’ve been quite pleased with them so far. The construction isn’t much different from the Inov-8 270s, although the tongue is not as padded. They have solid Vibram soles, and my pair of size 10.5 weighs just 24.6 oz. They are a good replacement for my tired 270s, but time will tell how durable they will be.

They sound crazy light. How is the support? I checked around, and couldn’t find the non GTX version. Have they been discontinued?
