FWIW, I've just received a reply from Inov8 regarding width of these shoes and the "Standard" width is a 2E. Now I need to know whether these shoes are "Standard".
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT SIZE I AM IN INOV-8 PRODUCTS?
Our size guide explains inov-8's footwear and clothing sizing.
WHAT IS YOUR SHOE FIT SCALE?
We have graded the fit of all our shoes from 1 to 5 to make it easy for you to find the perfect fitting shoe. All our shoes are designed with Met-Cradle technology to lock down the mid-foot for a stable hold. Where they differ is in the toe box.
Grade 1 represents our closest, most precise fit. At the other end of the scale, Grade 5 has the widest fitting toe box.
We have meticulously studied the foot and its function during the gait cycle and also the interaction between the foot and the terrain. We have used this knowledge to develop our fitting scale. For technical footwear a good fit is essential to enhance your performance.
The lower the number on our scale, the narrower the fit, which ensures minimal internal movement of the foot when running fast on technical terrain. Shoes with the higher numbers on our scale will suit athletes with a wider foot and those wanting that extra comfort in the toe box. This wider toe box allows the toes to splay for increased stability when lifting heavy weights. It’s also perfect for longer runs and races when toes begin to swell.
As a rough guide, Grade 1 represents an industry B fit, while Grade 5 equates to a 2E fit in the forefoot.

Here’s a screenshot of the sole from Inov-8’s site. These shoes are a 4 (out of 5) on their fit scale. I’ve found their 4 fit is great for my wide toes, but their 3 fit is too tight. The current model of Inov-8s I’m using (Terraclaw 250) have been discontinued, so I’m hoping these are a good replacement. They have a similar look, just a bit heavier.
I know they're probably all the same as the other Inov-8s, but it'd be really nice to see the bottom. That way we can see how aggressive they are, or aren't.
