Product Summary

The Inov-8 TrailFly G 270 V2 is the new and improved TrailFly shoe. The TrailFly is a zero-drop shoe designed for trail running. The TrailFly is offered in both men’s and women’s sizing and comes in six total colorways.

On this iteration of the TrailFly, Inov-8 has changed the upper based on customer feedback. Inov-8 claims the new upper improves both the durability and fit of the shoe. Inov-8 has used a new lightweight mesh material that is lab tested to be 25% more durable than its predecessor. The shoe also features a new cushioned slimline tongue for better fit and comfort.

The popular features from the previous model remain the same. The outsole still features graphene-enhanced 4mm rubber lugs. The POWERFLOW MAX foam cushioning and BOOMERANG footbed remain the same as the V1.

This shoe is being released as we write this, so we can’t tell you how the updated upper and tongue on the TrailFly G 270 V2 has been received by customers.

Summary

The new and improved TrailFly G 270 V2 has a new upper design which Inov-8 claims is more durable. If you liked everything about the V1 but the upper or the durability, this new version might be a great option for you.
