Customer Reviews Hoka Skyward X

The Skyward X is the only shoe that has helped my feet after finding out I have degenerative bones in my toes. The carbon plate has eliminated numbness and pain completely.

I bought multiple pairs of these new model and love them!!!

I've been walking more instead of running but soon as I put these on, I literally went out ran up the hill, even though it was hot and 92. They were amazing, exhilarating and made me feel like I was 20 years old again. :-) I highly recommend them and just purchased a pair for my husband as well waiting for them to arrive.

These are the best shoes! Very comfortable. I bought them for a work trip because I knew I would be on my feet, nonstop for 8-10 hours a day. They hug your foot for support and so much cushion on the soles.

Amazing reminds me of my aerobics shoes of the late 80's

Extremely comfortable!

Best shoe I have ever worn on feet that hurt all the time. I get relieve with these. I have to Bondi love them but don't compare. Need more colors.

Been doing this thing called nursing for 33 plus years hands down best shoes I've had for long days for those of us that Stand, walk run to save those in need! Hoka needs to be the official sponsor of nurse shoes!

where do i start??? color-lovely yellow!!perfect for a hurried walk on a suumer day or even a quiet stroll in the fall. very light and not bulky at all as some have claimed, i have a bondi 8 and that is definirely more wide and bulkier in looks and style but as far as comfort goes these 2 are the best. I like the extta lil bitt of height the skyward gives as I am 5'3 and obviously a little vertically challenged. I do recommend sizing down. Im usually a size 8 but ordered a 7.5 which fits perfectly. i live in nyc which warrants me to walk at all the time and this pair feels so light and has the perfect lil bounce..pls pls Hoka give us more solid colors on this style!

The extra cushion is PHENOMENAL! Feels like I'm springing up with every step! Definitely getting another pair!

Great support and so comfortable!

I was in a car wreck and have back and leg issues. These shoes give more support and comfort when walking than any other shoe that I have bought. I noticed that most of the people working at the chiropractor's office wearing them and decided to try them. I was not disappointed. They're kind of pricey, so I can only afford to get one pair at a time until I wear them out.

I am a hairdresser standing all day. These are my new all time faves. I have a Morton's neuroma and it really relieves a lot of pain. They're the best I've found for this.

The Skyward X shoe feels just like the Hoka's from long ago, very very cushioned, supportive in the heel and arch. I love these shoes and yes (!) I have even purchased another pair to wear inside my house!

I am an avid wearer of Bondi, after a foot injury. I tried Skyward recently and it is even better than the Bondi! It feels so springy and plush, and as someone who stands/walks 12 hours each shift, I will gladly buy these again! Hoping for more colors, though, since I have to replace often.

I am very happy with these runners. I appreciate the comfy feel and feel like I am ready to increase my miles. I run in the city on a concrete pathway and these shoes give me an extra bounce!!! I will definitely be ordering these again. Absolutely love the color and style and certainly the way they perform while running.

I have Plantar and these shoes have made my poor feet feel better again. They are like walking on cushions and oh so comfortable. I love them!

I've got a horrible ankle with several surgeries, not a runner. I'm an avid Bondi wearer. These shoes are super comfortable and fit like a glove right out of the box. They give a good bounce to your step, feels like walking on air. The big difference between the Bondi and this shoe is the stability, I feel like I could more easily roll my ankle if I'm not careful. I can see why this shoe is meant for running and not walking. Giving 5 stars, I'm keeping them for the great fit and comfort, may even buy another pair.

Love, love, love Hoka sneakers. I've had previous injuries & surgeries to my foot and ankle, hip and knee. This is the only shoe that has offer relief so that I can walk daily and not feel like I've walked on rocks. It relieves impact on my joints. I cannot say enough!

I have completed 33 full marathons, and I am training for my next race. My regular training shoes were discontinued, and I was looking for something. These shoes are just the right amount of comfort with an extra pop added by the carbon plate. I am super happy with my purchase!!

I have not bought Hoka's since MANY years ago when they stopped making a shoe called Conquer that was a plush support shoe with a very wide toebox. Nothing since has been right for me, especially providing enough width in the toe box (Wide sized shoes are too wide in the heel for me).. Skyward X is awesome. It is the most comfortable sneaker I have ever worn. I am no longer a runner and not sure how these would be for running but for walking they are amazing. It does not press on or pinch my bunion, size was exactly as expected based on all the running shoes I wear. They are so plush they even make me a little taller!! I love the yellow color but the bright color may not be everyone's cup of tea. These shoes allow me to walk as many miles as I want with no pain. I have been waiting a very long time for Hoka to make this shoe. Thank you Hoka!
