Men's Inov8 Mudtalon Speed V2

Maul the mud in Inov8's new soft-ground speedster, built for racing and faster runs.

The MUDTALON™ SPEED V2 lets you speed across muddy trails and hills with confidence, courtesy of its aggressive, mud-hungry 8mm lugs. The V2 benefits from a new and improved STICKYGRIP™ rubber compound – this new formula has increased wet slip resistance by 36% for dependable traction through slippery mud and over wet rocks.

POWERFLOW Pro cushioning compound for lightweight cushioning, combined with META-PLATE rockplate for protection.

A new upper pattern along the midfoot increases the lockdown you get when the laces are tightened, giving you a more secure, locked in feel as you hurtle down steep hills. The upper also benefits from extra drainage holes, allowing water to exit the shoe quickly.

The Precision Fit of the MUDTALON™ SPEED V2 fits securely around your heel and midfoot, with the shoe widening at the toe box to give your toes the chance to splay naturally as you land and push off. Precision fit is a snugger, more sock-like fit that will be familiar to fell/hill runners. G

The MUDTALON™ SPEED V2 is a shoe inspired by the boggy Lake District where Inov8 is based. Grippy, responsive and quick-draining, it thrives in the wettest, muddiest conditions, helping athletes who like to play dirty.
