The plantar fascia, the ligament that runs along the bottom of the foot to connect your heel to your toes, tightens as you transition to the forefoot. In this case, toeing off is the runner’s equivalent of lifting a heavy object. Essentially, the effect likens the foot to a windlass, one of those old triangular mechanisms used to lift heavy objects. Though more complex than what’s explained here, this oversimplification of the Windlass Effect will work for our purpose as runners. The Plantar Fascia and the Windlass Effect Some testers wanted a bit more cushioning for longer distances.A versatile outsole composed of three distinct rubbers-paired with just enough midsole cushioning-grips across both hard, rocky terrain and groomed, technical singletrack for a nimble ride that lets you go fast with confidence. Light and agile, the v2 feels almost like a natural extension of the foot for runners who want the most connected-yet-protected experience they can get on the trail. Inov-8 tapped into that expertise when it built the Trailtalon, a shoe that more closely mimics the way our legs and feet move when we run. The best bakers refine their chemistry, the best salesmen understand psychology, and, the best shoemakers? They’ve got plenty of intel on biomechanics. Masters of any craft know the value of borrowing knowledge from seemingly unrelated fields. New upper feels more durable and has more heel support than the v1.4mm lugs offer versatility for rocky terrain and hard-packed dirt and groomed trails.Outsole uses three rubbers of varied densities to provide sticky and durable traction.The RW Takeaway: The Trailtalon is an exceptionally grippy trail shoe with lightweight, protective cushioning that complements runners’ natural biomechanics.
