Bold orange BARE-XF PRO gym shoes

Launched in September 2025, the BARE-XF™ PRO is our ultimate natural training shoe for men and women.

Utilising cutting-edge design techniques, we’ve been able to strip away the need for a midsole or footbed and enhance the barefoot feel so you can unlock your true natural potential.

Evolutions of the BARE-XF™ shoe have been in INOV8’s footwear range for 15 years, proving hugely popular for functional fitness, cardio, weightlifting and running.

This is the first time we’ve made a ‘PRO’ version of the shoe, which boasts several exciting upgrades.

THE PRO UPGRADES

→ Seamless, sock interior for natural feel

→ Footbed removed for greater flexibility

→ Cupped heel for more lifting stability

→ Midfoot improved for superior lockdown

→ More rope and toe bumper protection

THE TRIED & TRUSTED

→ NATURALFIT™ shoe shape for freedom

→ Wide fit toe-box so toes can perform

→ Zero-drop for natural foot position

→ No midsole for enhanced flex and feel

→ Renowned grip optimised for the gym
