New for February 2023, the TRAILFLY G 270 V2 is the highly anticipated successor to the TRAILFLY G 270, which won four 'Trail Running Shoe of the Year' awards in 2020.
Now boasting a better fit, greater comfort, and longer-lasting durability, this is the go-to shoe for running long distances at speed, and it just got even better!
But don't just take our word for it, check out the reviews below.
WHAT THE MEDIA SAY
“Hits a sweet spot between cushioning and speed, making it a shoe you can use for all your trail running purposes.” - Runner's World UK
“For those who enjoy lightweight, low drop shoes with excellent ground feel, there is no topping the ride of the G 270.” - Road Trail Run
“The TRAILFLY G 270 V2 is kind of like a trifle. As you go through the layers from the top down, the shoe gets better and better. As a whole, it creates a rather tasty, albeit niche, experience.” - Believe In The Run
“I can say with confidence that it's the best zero-drop trail shoe I have tested to date.” - Blister Review
“The award-winning trail racer is back, and it's the same but better” - T3
“Likely to be a favourite of runners looking for strong cushioning and performance in a low-profile design” - UltraRunning Magazine
“They are immensely fun to run in and feel very nimble indeed” - Advnture
“While I acknowledge that nothing (not even Graphene) lasts forever, my love for this shoe will.” - American Trail Running Association
“For me, the number-one shoe on longer trails at the moment and an absolute buy recommendation” - Outside Stories (Germany)
"One of the best shoes ever made. The changes are dynamite, they make it even better" - Born to Run Coach
“There are a lot of trail shoes that boast a comfortable and/or stable ride, but they are often clunky and not lightweight. On the flip side, there are lightweight shoes that don't hold your ankles well and lack long run support. After 50+ miles, I would suggest that INOV8 has found the recipe to give runners the best of both worlds.” - Run Oregon
“It's a very fast shoe to run in and very comfortable” - The Run Testers
“With lots of trail connection and ground feel, it gives a really good balance between comfort and stability.” - Run 4 Adventure
“Ideal for most endeavours, and will certainly remain in my shoe rotation for as long as they last — which, at this rate, might be forever.” - The Trek
“If you're wanting to move quicker, this shoe will go with you” - Doctors of Running
“A shoe born for performance. It's hard to find faults with this V2, as it is so full of qualities.” - Esprit Trail (France)
“A great update to an already solid trail running shoe.” - Women's Running
“A very worthwhile update. I really like the subtle changes.” - Gary House
WHAT OUR ATHLETES SAY
“The TRAILFLY G 270 is my favourite-ever trail shoe and I've had some of my best runs in it. I can easily get over 1,000 miles out of a pair before the wear and tear on the upper becomes too much. I'm excited by the new upper material, which should make it even more durable.” - Damian Hall, Spine Race winner 2023
“They are really grippy and give me loads of confidence when running downhill. The soles flex nicely on the uphill, allowing me to feel springy and light. The cushioning is really comfy and straight out the box I feel I could run 100 miles in the shoes.” - Nicky Spinks, Tor des Glaciers podium & Arc of Attrition winner, both 2022
“You know you've got a good shoe when they're box fresh and you can race 32km, and your legs still feel fresh as a daisy. Super comfy, great fit and amazing grip.” - Tom Adams, who won said 32km race (Wadsworth Trog 2023)
“A very versatile shoe - grippy enough for more technical terrain while still comfortable on smoother trails. Really looking forward to using these for some longer races this year.” - Sarah McCormack, Three Peaks winner 2022
“The V1 was great shoe, but the V2 has stepped it up. It is a great high mileage shoe. It's always good to have a zero-drop shoe within your rotation without an aggressive feeling underfoot.” - Billy Cartwright, Long Mynd Valleys winner 2023
“I really like how comfortable and roomy the toe box feels. The shoe feels light and responsive and will be perfect for most of my mileage and long races this year.” - Paul Tierney, 4th place Tor des Glaciers 2022
“The V2s are incredibly light and comfortable, making them the perfect choice for fields and fells. I love the new design of the tongue - the extra padding and a more secure fit makes them even better this time round.” - Sarah Perry, Lakes, Meres & Waters record breaker 2023
“My favourite shoe for trails. Love the new fit, colours and feels as comfy as ever. Can't wait to go some distance in them now.” - James Gibson, Bob Graham Round winter (solo & unsupported) record breaker 2022
“The 270s have always been my session shoe, as they are light and responsive. The V2 has a more durable upper with the same great midsole and great grip = more miles per shoe! What's not to like?” - Alison Walker, Race Across Scotland winner 2022
“The V2s are superb. The new upper really wraps around your foot giving a very snug and protected feel. I love the slightly thicker tongue, giving more protection on the top of my feet. I wore them straight out of the box and onto the trails.” - Nichola Jackson, Langdale Horseshoe winner 2022
“The change I am most happy about is the tongue. It's still minimalist, but the slight cushioning that has been added to the V2's makes for a very comfortable fit around the top of my foot, straight from the box!” - Pierre Jordaan, South African trail runner
