G WHIZZ Inov-8’s tough 300g trainers can handle a beating. The grapheneenhanced outsole delivers grip, overlays prevent friction and a lifting stabiliser – and 6mm drop – supports work under the bar, while the cushioned midsole protects during cardio. EXPERT VERDICT The G in the name stands for graphene but it should stand for G-reat. The larger drop is great for squats and they’re nimble on the move. We also loved the oversized tongue loops for yanking them on.
