I tried on the 240 at a local store and it was way too narrow so I decided to buy the 262 since it has a wider footbed. The width does fit much better, but based on the length of the 195 and 240, I ordered a half size smaller than I normally wear in an athletic shoe. Unfortunately, the 262 is much truer to size and as a result, I don't have much "wiggle" room in the length. Other than the length issue, the shoe performs great and I've already noticed that my form on lifts is much better with the flatter stance (compared to my Asics running shoes) and the shoe's light weight is extremely beneficial as well. Also, the 262 has plenty of cushion for my runs on our box's packed dirt and gravel track, and it gives me the protection I was looking for when running over small rocks and ruts.

great looking shoe, but will have to go back...wish I would have taken the advice of the other reviewers. I am a women's size 9. Should have bought the 8.5

Great crossfit shoe for met-cons. Definitely less narrow than the 195/220/230 inov8s. Went up a half size from my true measured size and they fit my relatively wide forefoot just great! Love these shoes!

As a long time user of F-Lite 230's and a person with a very wide foot I was looking forward to the new "anatomic" shape on the F-Lite 262. This shoe was marketed as the wider version of the 230, so I was essentially expecting the perfect shoe (for me of course, everyone is different). Overall this shoe felt solid and it had potential to be really great, but it seems that when they made the anatomic fit they also shrank the length of the shoe. The wider "anatomic" fit was much wider than the 230 fit, and it felt fantastic width wise, but the shoe was much too short to fit my foot. Some times I can get away with that in a workout shoe, but because this Inov-8 is designed to take a beating it has a more ridged outer shell than some of their other shoes and it did not allow for any play. For people looking to buy this shoe I would definitely not shy away from it. I am starting to think that my foot has grown larger than a 13 and I just seem to get lucky finding shoes that are built larger than their sizing.
