Shoe Review: Inov-8 Bare-X 180

A few months of anxious waiting turned into excitement when my Inov-8 Bare-X 180 shoes finally arrived in Singapore last month. I desperately needed a new pair of running shoes as the Nike Air Zoom Streak XC 2 was breaking down. As you can see in the picture below, a big patch of the sole on the forefoot was already smooth, and sole on the bottom half of the shoe had fallen off. I was afraid to sprint when the track was wet, and water would get in where the sole had fallen off.

At the same time that I had bought the Nike Air Zoom Streak XC 2 from Running Warehouse,  I also bought the Nike Zoom Waffle Racer V as it was on the "liquidation" list and going at a heavily discounted price. Besides, two pairs of shoes suited my training - one for outdoor sprinting and one for the treadmill indoors.

Further to my post on my progression to barefoot shoes, I am going to talk about the "barefoot" shoes that I have been running in for awhile.
