Whatever your running level, the HOKA Skyward X is the ideal neutral all-round shoe. Whether you're heading out for a 5km or a slightly longer endurance run; the Skyward X can do it all. The shoe is suitable for both novice and experienced runners. The Metaspeed Sky is designed for the “stride runner”. These are runners who get their speed from lengthening their steps. Experience the perfect balance between cushioning and responsiveness with this all-round running shoe! Midsole To make your runs as comfortable as possible, HOKA has added super critical EVA foam. This foam has enormous cushioning and offers effective protection during your runs, whatever type of run it is. The material is therefore very reactive and provides a lot of comfort. The EVA sockliner provides a flexible fit and extra support while running. The implemented carbon plate will give your running experience a speed boost and provide extra stability. This full-length plate propels you forward and lengthens your stride. Upper The shoe has reflective details on the upper to provide extra visibility in the dark. Thanks to the jacquard mesh upper with textured yarns, the shoe is highly breathable and allows sweat to escape, keeping your feet cool while running. Because the mesh follows every shape of the foot, it provides comfort and support. Reinforcement has been added to the bottom of the heel counter, while the top remains flexible, soft and comfortable, so that your heel bone does not come under pressure. Wear sole The durable durabrasion rubber outsole with a coarse profile provides excellent grip on any surface. Zones of abrasion-resistant rubber have been added to the heel and forefoot for extra durability. The geometry of the outsole is designed to ensure inherent stability and an efficient stride. Start your running session with the HOKA Skyward X and pursue your goals!
