An evolution of the multi award-winning TERRAULTRA G 260, the new TERRAULTRA G 270 ultra running shoe delivers more grip, more cushioning, more bounce and more comfort. Several small, yet crucially detailed, improvements have made a big difference. Those improvements include the improved use of revolutionary Graphene-Grip rubber and a new plush cushioning foam that gives greater energy return for longer. This is the ultimate shoe for big trail miles. The best just got even better.

Good grip, quick to dry, durable materials, excellent slipper for long walks. Also suitable for running, but the spacious last requires at least tight recording. In walking use, I have replaced the insoles with Jalas safety shoe insoles, which improve the fit of the heel when walking.

I ordered these as a successor to the Terraultra G260, which are starting to be so worn that they can no longer run ultria next summer. So I was just waiting for a slightly updated version. The disappointment was great because these were completely unworthy from my point of view. The narrowness of the last and especially the tip surprised me first. According to Inov-8, their scale "fit" had changed from 4 to 5, and in advance I was already afraid of a shoe that was already too wide. However, this was clearly narrower than the G260, in the same size. Even when compared in parallel, it was obvious, and on the foot it was immediately noticed. I might have been able to live with that narrower model than before (the G260 was pretty spacious for me too), but the problems didn’t end there. The upper part of the shoe, the tongue, is a thin and hard plastic flap in the new version instead of the old traditional soft one. It immediately weighed on my feet. I tried to loosen the straps and make a space-saving version of the recording at the top of the leg, but the design of this model was so weird that that didn’t help either. The last and smallest problem, but I will mention nonetheless, was a harder point under the heel, especially in the other shoe, probably in the insole. I didn’t start looking at that in more detail because I had already stated that I couldn’t wear these shoes anyway. I only tested them at home inside, and already during that time my other leg became so sore that I unfortunately had to restore them.
