Based on past experience having spent 6 years running in inov8 shoes.. unless they have massively improved their materials you’ll be massively disappointed by those unless you enjoy burning £5 notes...
I can’t think of a single pair of inov8s that didn’t fall apart much beyond 200km.. I used to live with this as I almost exclusively bought last years shoes at knock down rates and they are fantastic shoes.. but £170 for those is a joke...
My Hoka’s at that kind of money have stormed through 700 odd km and aren’t falling apart...

I'm on my second pair of mud claws but which i love but i suppose mud doesn't shred soles. They also really suit my foot shape. I thought the new Graphene outsoles were meant to be really hard wearing. £170 is a bit strong but as soon as they hit £140 I'll grab a pair. I've only had 2 pairs of Hokas. Some rockets x's that were ok but a bit short for me and my speedgoats have been relegated to dog walking shoes as I've just never enjoyed running in them they've got no grip and are really heavy. I've got some Mizuno wave Diachis still going strong after 300-400 miles. Mizuno seem to be a bit less popular recently but I've liked every pair I've had. I'm sure they're still making good trainers

My peg trail 2's have got another couple of months in them the tread if fine but the cushioning is starting to go. I reckon I've done 200 miles in them. Going to try the inov8 trailfly ultra g300 max next. They fit your bill and should last ages with the Graphene outsole . Hopefully they might be on sale when i buy them🤞 I'm not a Hoka fan so can't help on those I'm afraid
