Inov8 Mudclaw 300 Unisex Trail Running Shoes

Run with confidence over the muddiest of terrains with this trail running shoe. The MUDCLAW 300 delivers the ultimate grip in mud through an aggressive outsole with a unique stud design that releases mud as quickly and efficiently as it grips to it.

Precision Fit
Inov8's precision fit offers a close-fitting heel that locks the shoe in position, whilst a wider toe box allows the toes to splay when running naturally or lifting weights. Precision fit suits those who like a tighter and more secure fit allowing the runner to focus on the activities ahead.

Durable And Supportive Upper
Sporting a fusion of technical trail technologies unified into one sleek, aggressive upper the Mudclaw 300 epitomises what an off road shoe should be. The new generation upper has undergone design tweaks to yield improved responsiveness and flexibility for greater comfort and now features a gusseted tongue to lock out the trail debris that invariably tries to penetrate through to the interior of the shoe.

Supporting the midfoot and securing lockdown the Mudcaw 300 utilises Met Cradle™ design. The upper webbing support on the shoe is anatomically positioned to cradle the fore foot behind the metatarsal heads and provide a secure foot hold. Giving you greater stability and control whilst traversing the evolving environment underfoot. Added strength materialises in a rugged upper format, a durable synthetic wrap straddles the lower sections of the shoe protecting from scuffs and bumps the trail dishes out.

Midsole - Reliable Cushioning And Proprioception
Utilising a blend of industry standard EVA foam the Mudclaw 300 delivers reliable underfoot shock attenuation for greater comfort over the miles. Integrated within the midsole construction the mudclaw 300 features Inov-8's 1st generation Meta-Shank - The 3-finger polymer Meta-Shank aligns behind the metatarsals for greater forefoot flexibility and control when contouring, whilst retaining underfoot impact protection.

This design makes the Mudclaw 300 a great choice for those that want to retain a degree of cushioning whilst utilising proprioception an underfoot feel.

Outsole - Grip That Won't Quit
Grip, and then some. The Mudclaw 300 utilises a myriad of design innovation, the product of the amalgamation of dual compounds working in concert to deliver an outsole that performs on the widest range of trails imaginable. The Dual-C outsole is comprised of a harder sticky rubber and a softer sticky rubber. The harder compound is present in the high wear areas of the outsole, where durability is key to to performance of the shoe as time inevitably presses on. The softer compound is integrated everywhere else to ensure optimal traction across an array of surfaces.

The new season outsole delivers considerably more ground contact with a redesigned form that sits lower the ground delivering more confidence with every stride. The heel height sits slightly lower that the old model which will assist with relieving pressure around the Achilles tendon.

Forming the trail biting traction the Mudclaw 300 utilises multi-direction lugs of Inov-8' own design. Providing optimal traction when climbing, descending and contouring. The direction of the 8mm lugs has been dictated by the foots natural movement during situations where grip is essential.
