I need to run in the MO80 again, I hurt my toe in them a few months ago and it scared me, but it was on roads.

My experience was that the anatomic last in the Inov-8 is still too snug in the toebox, but the Skechers was ok. The midfoot was snug, but that is partly a matter of lacing and in anycase, the midfoot does not need to spread with dynamic load the way toes do. I am looking forward to receiving the Go Bionic trail (on order), have been wearing the original Go Bionic as my primary "road" shoe for the past year (I'm on my 2nd pair). Love 'em.

How's the toe box for room on the Sketchers vs. the Inov8?

I know they're not zero drop, but what about the NB MO80? If they're similar to the MT10 with added durability and protection, they sound good to me.

Not sure if it was even the shoe. If anything it's too long. Will give them another go.

Thanks for letting me know about the links, these posts are a nightmare of HTML formatting! The GoBionic Trail is a really nice shoe, quite different than the road version.

I tried on several of the sketchers shoes including the go bionic and found them too tight for me around the mid foot . The inov-8 anatomical last works better for my wide mid-foot.

I like the Inov8 TrailRoc 245 for technical (rocky) trails. The extra prtoection is worth the slight additional weight. I did, however, have to order up another half size to avoid black toenails.

Just FYI: Inov-8 and Sketchers review links go to incorrect review articles.
Hoping to try out a few of these in the near future. I love the Go Bionic road shoe, so high hopes that the trail version has similar feel. (need the rock plate, and better grip than the road shoe has on slick forest and rocky trails.)

MT110's are also fairly priced, which is a huge plus for them too
