Customer Reviews Hoka Skyward X

The heel is very hi not for sports and doesn't feel secure for errands!!

Lightweight, which is good. I wanted a shoe with extra cushioning and this shoe had it. What i didnt like is how large the shoe looked overall, and was not easy to walk up and down our driveway which is a hill. My back hurt afterwards and the shoes seemed to be unsteady side to side. I would like to see better colors in Hoka shoes. Many older people wear them but don't want the flashy neon colors. Neutral colors are better. Taupe, brown, black, rust, etc.

The cushion and material is fabulously amazing!!! LOVE the super fun colors. HOWEVER, I dont know why the outsole had to be uneven and unstable with the slit in the middle and when you're just walking or standing, it feels like you're wearing high heels and have to balance yourself. NOT for walking, maybe just for running. NOT for 12-hr shifts because the outsole can cause you to TRIP on cords on the floor. Very dangerous. Please put something in your site about this. Could put someone in danger.

Initially I loved this shoe. Cushy, cute and comfortable. But comfortable only for my left foot. The little toe and next one over went numb during my first walk. I switched to thin socks, lacing up differently, same result. The toe box on my right shoe feels TIGHT. I thought, maybe they just need a breaking in period. After a month there has been no change. YES, they still fall under the warranty. BUT, I have worn them outside. Even after only 5-6 runs it shows wear on the bottom. So I'm very reluctant to return them and feel stuck.

Recently purchased a pair for my spouse, unfortunately the shoes showed obvious signs of previous usage ( crumpled wrapping paper, bits of dried grass on the inside, creased uppers, with laces being tied completely not in a brand new factory fashion. I immediately returned that pair back to Hoka as at this price point one would expect to get a brand new footwear..

The colors are amazing and the bounce seems great in the beginning, but there is no plush after a little amount of time in them. Very flat footed. I'm a Bondi 6 and 8 fan so if you need a firmer sole, these might be for you!

I bought these as I have a condition with the bones in my feet. I loved the extra cushion , they felt like clouds, but these are NOT for people with wide feet. I purchased these on a Friday and returned the next day. They were pinching at my pinky toe, making it quite uncomfortable. I couldn't wait to take them off. I'm really hoping for a wide option being available, but until then I will have to stick to my Bondi 8

I feel off balance in these sneakers. I much prefer the Bondi 8 & the Gaviota. I would definitely not purchase these. I was surprised by the fit specially at this much higher price point .

Unfortunately these shoes did not work for me. Based on the number of great reviews, I ordered them. It seems they had almost too much cushion. My feet were positioned oddly; seemingly pushed forward. The bunion area was activated on both feet after wearing them for a walk. When I went to bed that night, the bunions were pretty sore and I said, "Those shoes are going back." I am big on the Hoka brand and have several pairs, mostly variations on the Bondi. My favorites for comfort are the Bondi L , the Bondi SR and the Clifton 9. I was told by the local Hoka store owner that this shoe would be best for someone who wants to go out and run for an hour. It is important that you find the shoe that works best for your activity and your feet. Hoka has it. You just have to find it.

Bummer. I ordered these as soon as I saw them show up online. I couldn't wait to get them but they don't fit me at all. I ordered my regular size 9 but my this shoe threw my foot all the way to the front of the shoe. It was very strange so they went right back. I could even rationalize that maybe they fit. they absolutely did not.

It's horrific to find out this expensive shoes don't match my feet. It causes blisters!!!!It is so hard to find running shoes that don't cause any pain. time to change brand.

These shoes are AWFUL! I had to stop halfway through my run and change my shoes! I’m sticking with the Bondi 8, until I can’t find them anymore.

I should have had test this shoes once i got it. Now i can't return it. This shoe causes blisters so badly. I only wore at least 10 times. the materials feel a little off like " cheap materials kind". I wish i still can return it. so guys don't purchase this one.

The most uncomfortable shoe ever no support just mush would like to return they are ridiculously expensive

The base part of the shoe that touches the ground is too soft. There were many times i felt unbalanced wearing these and the softness irritated the area of my foot where i once had Metatarsalgia.

I developed plantar fasciitis and thought these would help which they did not. I couldn't get an exchange because I missed the return window but I couldn't run for some time. Hoka chat was not helpful.

This sneaker is gorgeous but the fit was a problem for me. It kept crooking over to the outside, causing a falling delusion (twisted ankle) which makes the sneaker uncomfortable for me. The appearance is Fabulous with the high soles which I loved but the walking effect was a problem for me.

Some sizes are tight and they will hurt your feet , so stay away

This shoe could work for walking, but I do not recommend for running. It offers zero stability. Returned after one run.
