50 Mile Review: Hoka Cielo X-1

The Hoka Cielo X-1 is one of the newest marathon racing shoes to hit the market. It has an aggressive midsole geometry, tall stack of dual-density PEBA foam, carbon-fiber plate and $275 price point. Over the past few weeks, I put the shoe through my marathon racer test, taking it for a first run, a workout, a 22 mile long run and a relaxed 13 miler. Here are my thoughts on the shoe after 50 miles. 0:00 - Intro 1:12 - How I Tested the Cielo X-1 4:54 - Overview 6:19 - Midsole 8:18 - Upper & Fit 12:27 - The Ride 16:56 - Outsole & Durability 19:26 - Who They're Best For 20:41 - Alternatives Find your next running shoe at Supwell.io: 1.
