About the Mudtalon Zero V2
Inov8 calls the Mudtalon Zero V2 a zero-drop shoe for fell and mountain running, built for muddy ground and soft trails and also suggested as an alternative to spikes for cross-country racing. It is the level-platform member of the Mudtalon series, beside the 4 mm drop Mudtalon Speed V2 and the more cushioned Mudtalon V2, and the soft-ground partner of the Trailfly Zero V2.
The FLYSPEED PRO midsole is a supercritical foam, with 12 mm at both heel and forefoot, topped by a 6 mm BOOMERANG footbed. Its 8 mm lugs use an improved STICKYGRIP rubber compound that Inov8 says delivers 36% greater wet slip resistance. The redesigned V2 upper brings better drainage in saturated conditions, a sleeker tongue and more midfoot lockdown. NATURALFIT is offered in Precision and Wide versions. The brand positions it for shorter races and fast training runs.
