Customer Reviews Hoka Skyward X

Skyward X is the best! It is expensive, but it's worth it for those with back issues. It's comfortable, cushiony, bouncy, propels your steps when walking. I use mine for walking, and the bounciness of these shoes have really helped my back. I also have the Bondi which I love, but if I had to choose just one that helps my back, I'd choose Skywsrd X! :)

The first Skyward shoes were given to me and I fell in love with them. After my knee operation, it has been very difficult for me to run because of the impact that occurs while running, until I tried this model, for me it has been the best. When I try a product I usually buy another one like it because every shoe has its expiration time. Now I bought this same model but in another color and I plan to buy another one since, I plan to continue running and training as before. This model helps me a lot. The most remarkable benefits I have felt is that, my knee is more comfortable, I can keep my pace in my races, I don't get tired, I feel more stable, comfortable, padded and protective. I think they are better than my Bondi, even if they are more expensive, it is worth running every kilometer with them. I would like them to offer again the dark color they had since it was sold out and they have not offered it again.

I have plantar fascist so most shoes hurt my feet. The Hoka brand shoes really help me. I mostly love the Skward X because its cute, bouncy and comfortable.

These are my favorite running shoe they are so light and plush. This my 4th pair of Hoka but they are my favorite!!!!

purchased because i am training for a half and these have been nothing but great. amazing support, lightweight and easy on the joints. highly recommend!

I had been getting Gaviota 5's and the Skyward X are expensive but feel so good.

I have had many sneakers by many brands but these are the best. I have lower back problems. I have knee problems and cannot stand long. I bought these and immediately the same day I wore them I was able to walk with limited pain. I almost cried with joy. I Immediately bought a second pair. I will not ever buy another pair of sneakers from any brand ever. The money is way too much for my budget and they don't have coupons or hardly sales so I held off buying for a long time but once I had enough money I was happy I did purchase them.

I've been running the Bondi for years and debated this upgraded, more expensive model. It is worth it entirely! LOVE running in this shoe. I am so happy with the design and spring in my steps!!!

I have worn Hokas for the past 4 years or so. I have nerve damage and various back/knee issues. I decided to try the Skyward model instead of my usual SpeedGoats. I am so glad I did. These shoes are seriously like walking on a cloud! They are incredibly comfortable. I still love my old Hokas, but the cushion level and light weight design is amazing. They are (in my opinion) very expensive for a sneaker, but if you can afford them, your body will thank you.

I've been working back into running regularly and upgraded my footwear - these feel like I'm stepping on clouds! Super lightweight, while still offering support but without being chunky.

I use these sneakers for the intense HIIT classes that I do. There's not another sneaker I have found that offers the cushioning that these do which protects my knees. My feet are on the wider side and these fit perfectly. I have now defected from the brand I have worn for many decades and am now a HOKA fan! I did take half size smaller than my usual size @gailgenslerofficial

These shoes are exceptionally lightweight and from the moment you put them on, it like walking on a cloud. They fit perfectly, even high-arched feet. design is pleasing and garnered numerous. I use them walking, running, and daily activities. Hoka one one remains the only brand I trust for various activities. Continue to outstanding footweara one Huge supporter here!

I have tried so many "comfort" sneakers, these are the best I have found.

These shoes are so comfy, I love them!!!

After taking up long walking for exercise, I realized the shoes I wore were very important, not only in the short term for the walk, but in the long term with wear on my body. HOKA shoes are great for my feet and body. I tried other shoes which were rated highly, but these were by far the best. I have already purchased another pair.

My Podiatrist recommended this sneaker after my foot surgery. I love the way they fit and how comfortable they are. I bought the Skyward X. Its like walking on clouds! I will be buying another very soon. Love the colors!! Worth the money!!

I was initially nervous about racing in these since they felt a bit heavy in training and wasn't sure how they'd hold up over the full distance - but took the leap and I'm so glad I did. I ran a PB in these shoes and they felt incredible throughout. The cushioning is plush without being mushy and felt well supported especially in the later kilometers. The carbon plate gave me that responsive push I needed when my legs were starting to fade. Will definitely be getting another pair.

After trying several other brands of walking/running shoes (none of which fit properly) I'd almost given up the hope of finding a walking shoe that fit me. I had low expectations when I received the box of the Skyward X shoes and was even hesitant to try them on for fear that they wouldn't fit. However, to my delight, they fit perfectly and offered the cushioning and support I wanted. After a couple weeks of wearing them on my 2 -to 3 mile daily walks, I plan to order another pair.

I almost returned them because I did not like to look, so glad I didn't! I have knee issues and just started running again, these shoes are extremely cushioned and feel like you are running on air! I was able to run 4 miles yesterday with no knee pain( I use to be a marathon runner). I highly recommend!!!

I love this model! It is like bouncing on a trampoline as I work. I wish there were more color options. I will likely size up next time as I am between sizes and should have chosen the larger.

Just got them in and wore them during a very rough nursing shift, they're amazing!

Best marathon running shoes I've ever owned. Please don't discontinue these.

I have been very pleased with the pair of shoes that I purchased. I have rather wide feet/toesand walk a lot both indoors and outdoors, and have not had any residual pain in my feet which I've experienced from other issues, at least initially.

I have 2 pairs of these shoes and I keep checking for available colors as these shoes are the best style for my painful feet. I bought 5 pairs of bondi 8, and 2 pairs of Clifton 8. They seem to work at first for my very painful feet but recently, they started to not work at all. So I bought Skyward X and way better so I bought another one. When Bondi 9 came out, I bought 2 pairs but I keep going back to Skyward X as they are more comfy. The only minor issue is the stability but it's fine as long as I can work longer without pain. I still wear the bondi 9 but not too often. Pls make more neutral colors of Skyward X. Thank you!
