In September 2020 we launched the ROCLITE PRO G 400 GORE-TEX hiking boot – perfect for fearless hikes and multi-day adventures.
Featuring an improved Graphene-Grip™ outsole and Schoeller® ceramic coating, the ROCLITE PRO G 400 GORE-TEX is our toughest boot ever.
It was named FOOTWEAR OF THE YEAR by The Great Outdoors in their 2020 awards and given the coveted Platinum Award by T3.com
“These boots are superb. They perform really well and the big plus is the durability – they certainly look and feel tough despite being very light. FOOTWEAR OF THE YEAR. GOLD AWARD WINNER.” – The Great Outdoors 2020 Gear Awards
“They offer everything you’d want from a hiking boot. They’re incredibly rugged, robust, lightweight, and sport the very latest in outdoor tech… these are some of the best hiking boots on the market right now.” – T3.com, winner of the Platinum Award
“This beautifully balanced blend of light weight and tough materials delivers a perfect walking experience – comfortable, grippy and responsive. It’s a triumph of good design – and one of the best boots I’ve reviewed.” – BBC Countryfile Magazine “One of the most versatile walking boots on the market right now… Stunningly lightweight. Confidence-inspiringly grippy. Instantly comfortable.” – Ellis Brigham
“The boots are lightweight and feel like running shoes but with the extra support around the ankle… But it’s the sole that impresses the most. I tested the grip on wet trails, wet rocks, grass and mud. They perform well.” – Fionaoutdoors
“Ideal for long mountain days when you need all the support and features of a traditional boot but in a considerably lighter package. It has great grip, durable upper, great comfort and superb weight. It’s hard to find a fault, especially when one compares to the competition.” – Talk Ultra.

The new ROCLITE PRO G 400 GORE-TEX. is our toughest-ever hiking boot, bringing together a Graphene-enhanced outsole and Schoeller ceramic coated upper for the first time. Graphene is the world’s strongest material and ceramic technology is so tough that is already trusted to help protect the International Space Station.
But how do you exploit all this toughness and still design a boot that remains lightweight (in this case just 400g), flexible and agile? We spoke to INOV8 Design Manager Graham Jordison to find out. Graham was INOV8 founder Wayne Edy’s first recruit when the brand was born in 2003 and is driven by a continued desire to innovate.
