Long Run Review: Hoka Skyward X
April 18, 2024
watch on youtubeThe Hoka Skyward X is a max cushioned training shoe designed to blend comfort and speed. With nearly 50mm of foam in the heel, it has more protection and bounce underfoot than almost any other shoe on the market, but that also comes with a weight and price premium ($225, 333g/11.8oz in 10.5 US mens). In this video, I give an overview of the shoe, take the Skyward X for a long run and let you know how it compares to other options on the market.
