Adventure, racing and having fun in the outdoors. Sunday, August 17, 2014. Inov-8 312 GTX Review. Inov-8 312 GTX Review. I found these shoes, along with other Inov-8 models on clearance at a "dog show" company. Apparently, trail runners are not the only ones that love the grippy-ness of Inov-8 shoes. The 312 gtxs will be my 3rd pair of Inov-8s, the others being the X-Talon 190 and Trailroc 245. I love my other Inov-8s so why not give the 312s a try (especially when on clearance).
