Unfortunately I don't live near any retailer that carries Innov 8, so I don't have the luxury of trying on the different models. I have a very flat foot size 11D - so arch support is greatly appreciated. Will be hiking (never running) the lower AT, and never more than 20 miles/day. Cannot imagine ever carrying more than 25lbs. Any suggestions?

there is a size twelve on BPL for sale....my feet measure 11.25 inches and the seller said those would not be big enough for me...they are on sale by the owner for 40$...that might be a good start just for the pirce if they will fit you

"""FS Inov-8 Roclite 318 GTX US Men's-Size 12 on 09/20/2007 09:59:38 MDT I purchased these during the recent sale at REI. I put them on and walked across my living room. They run a little small and my feet are a little over size 12 so they just don't fit me.
Great deal for someone: $40 plus shipping. Paypal."""""

good luck

If I remember correctly, Matt Hazley used Innov8 footwear while training for his AT Sub40 attempt.

He had strong opinions about these shoes. I don't know how regularly he checks this site, but you could send him an email, asking about his experience.

His profile can be found here (http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/member.php?u=6509).

Was able to try on the Terroc 330's and the Roclite 315's. Enjoyed the wider toebox on the Terroc's, but the extra cushion in the 315's was too much to pass up. I did end up having to buy one whole size larger than I wear. Ran in them last night and they were great!
