Customer Reviews Hoka Skyward X

Came early and this was great ..thank you very much

The Skyward X is a completely different feel from my Clifton's or my Bondi's. I love it. I have almost 20 pair of various styles and colors and Skyward X was a wonderful surprise. Love the colors. More importantly the ankle and knee pain I had forever is essentially gone. Thanks HOKA. I can take care of my body and not look like I bought my shoes at a hospital.

Owned many pairs of Hoka shoes iam on my feet on concrete 13hrs a day been wearing the Cliftons 7 these skyward x are be far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn will definitely order another pair wish they came in all black

I love the shoes the color looks more purple in person online i thought it was pink and orange its definitely more purple looks like the picture i just remember wrong

Love the Hokas they are the best.

From the beginning of walking with these HOKA's I felt like I was walking on air. They are truly amazing and comfortable.

I've run in a lot of Hokas, but the Skyward X has completely blown me awayit's hands down the best pair I've ever owned. The bounce these provide is unreal. It's not just soft cushioning; it's a responsive, springy feel that makes every stride feel light and energetic, especially on longer efforts. I'm training for a marathon right now, and these have become my daily staple for both easy runs and long distances. They're definitely not built for speedworkthis isn't a shoe you'd pick for intervals or tempo runsbut for me, long-distance comfort is what matters most. And these deliver. If you're in it for the miles and want a unique, incredibly smooth ride that prioritizes comfort without feeling mushy, the Skyward X might be your perfect match. I can't wait to toe the line with these on race day.

At first, I thought these shoes were way too stiff and super heavy. My first couple of runs were a little painful on my feet. I was worried, as I was trying to find a good shoe for a 100k. I previously ran in the first version of the Cielo. I tried the Cielo x1 2.0, but dislike them with a passion. Anyway, lo and behold, these shoes were the greatest purchase I've ever made for my 100k. Their bounce never went away. My feet felt so good. I never felt sluggish in them and I seemed to just glide. I really recommend these shoes if doing ultra marathons. They are not for speed, but for distances.

These are my first pain of Skyward X, I have purchased at least 7 Bondie 8 and a pair of Bondi Senior shoes due to the wide sizes available. I was skeptical about purchasing the Skyward X sneakers due to no wide sizes and the price BUT I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase!! They are Extremely comfortable, Excellent Quality and they have a great design. They are worth the price if you have extremely BAD feet. I would HIGHLY recommend them to all my family and friends!!

Thank you Hoka for an awesome running shoe! 5/5 but the outer sole wears out a bit too fast. Please add a wide shoe width for men's. Please add more heel collar and tongue padding. Perfect otherwise!

I have bought Hoka sneakers since the dawn of Clifton 1 when it changed the Game figuratively and literally. Ever since, I have been chasing the Dragon of comfort, style, and speed... Bring in the dawn of Skyward X - Another level up in performance enhanced. I love these shoes so much that I bought three to date: the orange/black, red/blue, and now my favorite the pink/white. In my eyes, these are the Apex of Hoka line up of shoes regardless of what you intend to use them for. They are stylish, versatile, and fast with a nimble carbon plate + PEBA midsole to match. I will continue to purchase these for as long as they are available to me. Price is worth every penny... Dragon found. Nate

Just like you said they would be

This is the second time I get these shoes! As a big heavy guy, running always in Cliftons or Rincons was good, but I was missing the carbon fiber plate that I wanted to try. This shoe has all what I need without being a supershoe as Rocket or Cielo. Definitely the chosen ones for my next marathon.

Great shoes for walking, feet feel refreshed and shoes are absolutely stunning!

Is my first HOKA sneaker and is perfect! for all

I've been using Cliftons for street runs for several years, but the Skyward X takes cushioning to an advanced level. Whereas the bottoms of my feet would start complaining after about 2 hours in the Cliftons, it's the rest of me that does the complaining now. The feet and knees are happy as punch. After a couple more months with the Skywards, I suspect the rest of me will be smiling.......Great job Hoka!

The carbon fiber plate in the midsole makes all the difference. The spring is amazing. Very stable for such a thick sole. It light, well made and great colors. Maybe the best Hoka ever. However sizing still runs small. Other than that a very innovative shoe.

I love these shoes. They are extremely comfortable for walking a long distance!

Love this shoe, wish they had other color options than the six they have. Bolder and less pastel.

Oh these are Heaven sent! I currently own Bondi and wanted to try another Hoka shoe. These are so springy and i don't feel like im feeling the ground. I will be purchasing these in other colors.

The Skyward X reminds me of putting on my first pair of Hokas, that feeling of, "DANG!" These shoes are super lightweight and have tremendous cushion and excellent support. Highly recommend.
