The Carbon X is a formidable competitor. Made using never before seen HOKA ONE ONE® technology, this high-performance shoe features a carbon fiber plate to help propel you forward and accelerate your toe-off. It features PROFLY X foam, our lightest and most resilient foam, and has a wide base for a stable, soft and extremely responsive ride. Complete with a lightweight upper and embroidered design, the Carbon X is your license to speed.
I am a twice purchaser of Hoka One’s . I took these straight out of the box and went for a 13 km run! I can’t express enough how great they felt ! I’m looking forward to the next couple months on the streets of St. John’s NL
The sales agent at the store was truly great. She helped pick out the right long distance running shoes and a pair of Black Toe shorts. Thank you!
Had been wearing Nike Epic React which Nike claims reduce injury, but would experience intense soleus cramp at about 4 km of running. Soleus is involved in deceleration as pressure on step transitions from heel to forefoot. Decided to experiment with "roll" action of these to, rather than cushion the forefoot pressure experienced just prior to toe-off, "roll over" it. I've only run in these a few times, but have been able to run 15 km at a time with no hint of pain or tension.
I started using these for all my speed work. At first they seems stiff and wasn’t sure. It wasn’t after running 30/40km they warmed up and I love these runners. For speed work there a rock star. They are so fluid on my stride and at times I forget I’m wearing them. They are that comfortable. I highly recommend these for your speed work and possible long runs at slower pace.

Been running a half Marathon every weekend as part of Ironman training. First run in my Carbon Ex's was 6 min. faster with same effort (heart rate). More importantly Didn't feel as beat up and recovered quicker!!
