Product Information

The world-first foam is scientifically proven to deliver 25% greater energy return and retain itsoptimum levels of underfoot rebound and cushioning for longer, thanks to the infusion of theplanet’s strongest wonder material. The soles are deeper than the Roclite range and any other hiking boot that I’ve worn. The extra cushioning was evident immediately, definitely designed for long distance hiking and to take out much of the impact from your joints on hard surfaces. There’s also a good amount of padding around the inside of the boots to keep them comfortably tight around your feet. Sole and Grip

A revolutionary boot like no other, the ROCFLY™ G 390 uses a unique Graphene-infused G-FLY™ foam that supercharges your feet so you can hike further than ever before. The RocFly G 390 boots feel very well made and look really smart and wouldn’t be out of place walking around town. But it’s the comfort that has really surprised me, especially the cushioning in the soles. As soon as I put them on I knew they were going to be good and probably my favourite walking boots. Inov-8 RocFly G 390 boots Comfort All of that is to say -- the prospect of the ROCFLY G 390 was interesting. Inov-8 described it as a shoe built for putting in long miles day after day, and even though it looked like a burly shoe, the relatively light weight and 6mm drop felt like the kind of specs that could really work for a long distance shoe. I, like many thru hikers (95% of whom seem to wear Altra Lone Peaks), tend to take a little bit of pride in only wearing trail runners, but the ROCFLY G 390 seemed to have enough trail runner characteristics that I wouldn’t totally feel like I was switching sides. Plus, it felt like it could be the responsible choice if I wanted to keep my feet and ankles happy for future adventures. I was excited to give them a try. A revolutionary new boot like no other, the RocFly G 390 uses a unique Graphene-infused G-FLY foam that supercharges your feet so you can hike further than ever before. Prepare for endless adventures.If you already have a hiking boot, running shoe, or training shoe that fits you well, you could measure the length of the shoe’s insole and match this with the size guide. This is a review of my favourite walking boots, the RocFly G 390 boots. I’ve just completed the Cape Wrath Trail wearing a pair. I am reviewing the men’s boots but they’re also available in a women’s version. Inov-8 RocFly G 390 boots Discovered in 2004 by scientists from The University of Manchester who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics, Graphene is the strongest – yet also the thinnest – material in the world. My typical measure of a thru-hiking shoe is how much I dread putting it on on day 5. I’ve yet to get the ROCFLY G 390s on a 5-day trip, but can say that on a 3-day trip, not only did I not dread putting them on, I actually didn’t want to take them off.

GET A GRIP: 4mm rubber lugs enhanced by the world’s strongest material – Graphene – give long-lasting tough grip over all terrains. As inov-8 suggest, these hiking boots feel like trail running shoes but with the support and stability of a boot. The ankle cuff is comfortable but not overly stiff. The sole feels agile and flexible. This means the boot has a great balance of flex but with adequate support. CompatabilityIt seems odd to me that a hiking boot is water-resistant and not waterproof, but then I do live in Scotland where we have a lot of wet terrain and rain. Alternatively, you can measure the length of your foot and add between 1 and 2cm to find the correct insole length. It is hard to be exact here, as sizing is so personal – but in hiking boots, running shoes or training shoes, we’d recommend having at least 1cm of extra space beyond the end of the longest toe to ensure comfort. Shoes UK Size Named FOOTWEAR OF THE YEAR 2021 by The Great Outdoors (TGO), this is a revolutionary boot like no other. The ROCFLY™ G 390 uses a unique Graphene-infused G-FLY™ foam that supercharges your feet so you can hike further than ever before. If you plan to walk where it is steeper and muddier or with more off-path terrain, I suggest you go for the inov-8 Roclite PR G 400 walking boots.

There is no question this is the most comfortable hiking boot top to bottom (cushion) that I can recall. It is an ideal choice for both long and short hikes as well as travel and any kind of long day on your feet. Durable Overlays - Extra durable overlays protect hard wearing zones against debris and vegetation. I find that the insoles in lightweight footwear only last a few hundred miles before they start becoming thin and uncomfortable. So I usually change them for Superfeet insoles but not so with the Inov-8 RocFly G 390 boots insoles. They still feel comfortable and still look to be in pretty good condition after about 350 miles.
