Customer Reviews Hoka Carbon X

The Carbon X is my 3rd pair of shoes, I also have the Clifton 5 and the Bondi B and they are ALL incredible shoes! But this Carbon X is off the charts! Can't wait to get out and hit the road in these

I just love carbon soled shoes. You can step on the most nasty rock or chunk of gravel and have no pain or bruising issues. No other shoe I've had can totally neutralize the painful rocks, not even the ones with "rock plates". I'm sold on the carbon fiber plates. Of course, they are also wicked fast when it comes to race time... but we already knew that. :-)

These shoes fit so perfect & are so comfortably fast. I was doing mile repeats 2 days after getting them & couldn't believe how well they did. So far my longest is 20 & they've done wonderful with that also. I'm really looking forward to see how far i can push them & they will last.

I use the this shoe for races, track workouts and tempo runs

These shoes are awesome. I have a narrow rigid foot. I need a shoe that Decent cushioning but allows for my natural foot strike. These work great. Build as a racing shoe, they work great for my daily runs. Make sure you get the proper size, at least a 1/2 size bigger than you would normally wear. Wish they can in a color other than white but that's not a big deal.

Run all training runs of all distances in them.

I've been using the carbon x for competitive running only. Only down side to these soles is the color as in a few uses they are no longer white. Would like to see variety in colors as the rest.

First pair of shoes this light and fast that I feel won't kill my feet after 13 miles

Great fit. True to size. Come down half size from normal HOKA sizing. I use size 12.5 in Clifton 5 and Napali and the Carbon X size 12 has the same length but more toe room. Has a nice narrow midfoot lockdown with room for toes to swim! Super quiet shoe on the road. Effortless cruising. I'll probably still use Vaporfly for Half Marathon racing but Carbon X is like a more supportive and better fitting Zoom Fly. They may get me to go for a full Marathon.

First time user of this model. I like it alot. Soft, lightweight, flexible, and comfortable on long training runs.

Best running shoes I've ever owned

As part of the daily running, or if you want a faster day.

Used them in multiple training runs 3-15 miles! I felt no fatigue!

1/2 Marathon & Marathon, would use for 10K as well.

I will only say this. What an amazing shoe!!! Well worth it. Thank you Hoka!

If you're looking for the Vaporfly, look elsewhere. This amazing shoe is in it's own class. Plush, yet very responsive. Wider platform, but very light. By far the best Hoka shoe I've used, and the shoe I plan to run 135 miles in at Badwater this year.

Track work and tempo runs, then turn it loose on a half and full marathon. Cushioning a plus.

One 20 mile run and a tempo run so far. Great support and very light weight. No bluffing...best shoe I have trained in, EVER!!I will use them for an upcoming marathon in 4 weeks.

I'm looking forward to more Carbon X shoes to come out! I love the way these look - clean and fast!

I put around 25 miles a week on these shoes and I am very happy with the cushion ride.

Love the show, going to try 1/2 size down

Only a week in, my go to training shoe. Upping pace and mileage next week. Can't wait.

I am a Hoka Bondi & Clifton fan, wanted these for the NYRR Brooklyn Half so ordered next day air, received Friday for short shakeout, loved them, next day PR'd by 6' in 1:41:30, couldn't believe how they responded, better the harder I pushed.

Great shoe

Bought these the day they came out and had them overnighted to run my marathon over that weekend. Felt great the whole way. Will buy again maybe throw in some carbon rockets as well. Thanks!
