The Hoka Skyward X offers an ultra-soft stride for the road, breaking the mold with its revolutionary suspension system. This training shoe takes flexibility and smoothness to the extreme, featuring a convex carbon fibre plate that compresses and returns energy with every step. A soft and highly resilient PEBA foam, placed close to the foot, provides a lively and cushioned stride. Meanwhile, the supercritical EVA structure offers stability to tackle miles with unprecedented ease. Key features include a Flat Knit Upper for a secure and breathable fit, a Gusseted Tongue for midfoot support, and a Padded Ankle for comfort. An Extended Heel Pull Tab assists in putting the shoes on, and the Lacing System locks the midfoot to prevent excessive movement. The PEBA Midsole offers extreme comfort and underfoot cushioning, complemented by a Carbon Fibre Plate for dynamic propulsion and stability. The Super Critical EVA Rocker Frame creates a rocking chair-style effect for a faster toe-off, and the Deep Active Foot Frame cradles the heel for a secure ride. A Durable Rubber Outsole in high-wear areas ensures longevity and multi-directional grip with Flex Grooves. The shoe has a 6mm drop and weighs 320g.
