When you hear about shoes which are designed to excel in different areas, its often my experience that they don't really excel in anything. But the Parkclaw is really a different matter as it really does excel in a lot of different areas - an ultimate road-to-trail shoe.
Inov-8 Parkclaw G 280 - From asphalt to the woods
This trail shoe is perfect for the one who needs to travel across a section with asphalt and hard-packed trail in order to reach the woods or the mountains or wherever you would choose to do your nature workout. You can easily wear it on very hard surfaces thanks to the G-Fly midsole, the incredible number of lugs and the fact that these lugs only measure 4 mm. However, the length of the lugs and the strong Graphene Grip outsole also enables you to use it on more narrow trail and in the woods if you are going completely off-road.
Graphene Grip – luxury for trail
If you are not familiar with Inov-8 and Graphene Grip, I can tell you that you are in for a great experience. The graphene is a carbon-layer which only meaures one atom! Its the thinnest material in the world but at the same time, its actually 200 times stronger than steel and incredibly flexible. It can be folded, stretched and bent without breaking.
This means that you get a trail shoe with the toughest outsole in the world, an outsole which is scientifically proven to be 50% more flexible, 50% stronger and 50% more durable than regular outsoles. So this is a shoe with an exceptional grip and an incredible durability!
Inov-8 Parkclaw G 280 - Fit & Feel
The Inov-8 Parkclaw G 280 is a shoe that fits well in terms of weight for a trail shoe, and
you also get both a padded and comfortable upper, a midsole that is really well suited
for both hard and soft surfaces, and an outsole with a great grip. The shoe offers great space in the toebox, so its optimal for runners with wide feet. The padding in the upper provides great comfort and the slighty rugged and solid laces ensures that the fit remains the same during your run.

What can I use Inov-8 Parkclaw G 280 for?
The Parkclaw has never been a technical trail shoe - and it still isn´t. So, if you´re headed for slopes and mud, you should instead consider the Inov-8 Mudclaw 300 or the Inov-8 X-talon Ultra 260 v2. However, the Parclaw will lighten the efforts for the one who wants to venture out into the terrain without having to bring a change of shoes. In addition it provides a great grip and can handle almost all types of trail and surfaces.
The Inov-8 Parkclaw G 280 is optimal for the one who wants to reach the nearest forest, speed up on small and large trail and return home. Thanks to its versatility, this shoe will, however, also be suited for OCR running as the Graphene Grip outsole will provide you with a great grip and a great take-off on the track.
So, if you need a versatile trail shoe which can handle asphalt, forest trail and the obstacles on the OCR track, the Inov-8 Parkclaw G 280 is the right shoe for you as you get a great grip , great cushioning and lots of comfort, all ine one!
