Customer Reviews Hoka Skyward X

WOW! I've been a loyal Bondi wearer for several years. I've got horrible feet; bunions, metatarsalgia, just generally painful feet, and these shoes are AMAZINGLY comfortable. The upper is super accommodating and stretchy, I didn't need a wide. The shoe runs very true to size. (9) They base of the shoe is not as wide as the Bondi 8, so there's a bit less stability there. Almost don't need my orthotics in these. Almost. Overall, these are so fun and bouncy. Love the spring color as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The Skyward X is expensive and, let's face it, isn't the most attractive shoe on the market. However, I have never worn such a plush cushioned sneaker. I have a birth defect in the back of my neck that is aggravated by the force of running, even walking. I need a shoe that can absorb as much of that force as possible. These are absolutely incredible. Just recommended them to my sister who is an ER doctor and suffers from heel pain. These are a WINNER!

I love this shoe I have terrible neuropathy barely able to walk effects my back,legs,hips I went into one of your stores tried on 2 different pairs explaining to the clerk how bad my feet were I put these on I cannot believe the relief in my feet and legs all over I have never paid this much for a pair of shoes but will not think twice about buying another pair at first I was afraid they would be too high as the sole is really thick but they felt like I was slipping on so much padding the clerk told me if you want a padded shoe this is for you have never had such relief if I don't wear these everyday I hurt but I put them on as soon as I get up these shoes are wonderful I will tell everyone I know what a great shoes they are thank you for making these shoes

The Skyward X has THE best support of all the Hoka's I've tried, and that's a constantly growing number. I broke my ankle in 3 places two years ago and still deal with chronic pain. This shoe exceeds all expectations and is so comfortable that I kept the original insole inside the shoe. Thank you, Hoka! Keep making these and add wide width on the next version. Thankfully the slightly narrow feel is not a deal breaker, which is saying a lot coming from someone with soft tissue swelling in my toes, on my instep, and around my ankle every day.

Just when I thought Hoka couldn't add more comfort and cushion, the Skyward is literally like walking on clouds. Thought I'd give these a try as my favoritie Boni X version has been discontinued. Absolutely love the combination of the carbon plate and the endless cushion. These are my new favorites.

I have many other pairs of Hokas and my new Skyward pair are my favorite! They're very stable and although my feet are wide, the width is perfect. I wear them working on our very hilly property and also at the gym. Just wish more colors were available!

If you are looking for a plush ride, like the older Bondi models, this is it.

I just got this babies and by far the best Hoka has ever done and I do own quite a few of their shoes. I am over the moon with this. You see the price and think twice before you order then you try them and all of the sudden they are at excellent price. Thank you Hoka

The best shoes I have ever wore to work . I work 12 hour shifts and let's just say it felt like I was walking on clouds all shift long . I love the colors of the shoe. I have other hokas that are too tight at the top of my foot but these aren't .woman shoes seem to fit tighter around the top of my foot than kids shoes . I usually wear a 5 or 5.5 in kids but I ordered these in a 7 fit is perfect .

These shoes were comfortable right from the start. I wear them primarily on the trail with my dogs - no problems. I do wish they came in wide & black color. Work requires black and these would be awesome all day long.

I rarely ever write a review, but I decided it might help someone make a decision because I have been very with these shoes. If you are looking for a shoe you can stand on your feet all day long and not have leg or foot pain these are it!! I'm a healthcare professional and I bought one pair a few months ago just to see if they would be worth the money because these shoes are expensive. But I soon found out they are worth every penny. I now have a pair in every color. I jog in one pair, then wear the three others only to work. The fifth pair I wear when I'm not working. I love them!! Yes, I was fortunate enough to get the black pair before they became unavailable. If you are thinking about these shoes, go ahead and treat yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Loving the Skyward X just ordered my second pair Vacationed in Caribbean and Florida my absolute go to shoe.. No breakin period.. Ofcourse wear with a appropriate socks They are like walking on clouds.. plus give me a little extra height which I love! Hoka you hit the ball out of the park on Skyward X

I bought shoes from Hoka but I don't like it bec it looks so bulky on my feet but this one it's so comfortable that even it looks bulky I really love it never use sneakers at work I always used dansko clogs and crocs this shoes makes me buy again different colors from this style . I work 12 hrs I can't believed my feet didn't even feel any pain after standing long hours .

This is literally the best road running super shoe I've ever worn. The max cushion with the carbon plate make running feel effortless. Running super hard in them doesn't feel nearly as bad on my joints and feet. These shoes have absolutely saved my legs. PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THEM SO I CAN BUY THEM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

I have tried on 11 pairs of Hokas. My old standby was Bondi then these babies arrived and I am so happy. I am 90 days post op from surgery on my right foot. Every shoe has hurt within a few hours. Not these! They are like walking on cloud. Love them! They are expensive but not having hurt feet is priceless.

These are amazing for standing all day . Please come out with darker colors . I'm a hairstylist and I've gone though 3 pair dropping color on them .

My podiatrist recommended this brand for my feet. Specifying the carbon fiber plate shoes. Really helped my foot pain to decrease and also the pain in my legs and hip joints. Thankful these products exist for those of us who need them!

These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I find myself walking faster and better since I have these hoka skyward X. Don't hesitate to purchase them.

Uhmmmmm okayyy Hoka. Moving up and up and up. This platform, bouncy shoe performs like a champ giving you the height you really want while proving that you can love your feet even after your longest, most eventful, active days. So much cushion and spring, keeping inflammation out making it easy to be on your feet ! If you're athletic with a normal or normal to narrow foot at all please down size as they run big.

I normally don't take the time to go back and write reviews. I started walking and jogging a year ago and these are my first pair of Hokas. I purchased these as a birthday present to myself. I bought my regular shoe size and they fit perfectly. I'm 5'10". I'm now 6" which that's the height in my new shoes. This will take a little time to get used too. However everything else about the shoe is amazing. I step in and immediately feel all kinds of support in the heel for my plantar fasciatis. I wear them to run errands my knees and hips don't feel so worn. In the ball of the foot you can feel the impact absorbed and snapped back up like a trampoline. Impressive yes. Can't wait to try them on my interval route.
