Hoka Skyward X review: Asics Superblast rival tested by 3 runners

- čas přidán 14. 07. 2024
- The Hoka Skyward X is a running shoe best described as Hoka's answer to the emergence of the max cushion super trainer.
With a big stack of Peba foam, a frame of EVA super critical foam and a carbon plate, the Skyward X is promising to be a shoe you can use for your long runs and also let you pick the pace up too.
Testers Nick, Mike and Kieran have all been putting the Skyward X to the run test to find out if Hoka has a great shoe in the Skyward X, or this is another X miss like the Bondi X.

I'm a big fan of this shoe. I was worried it was going to seem too heavy on my feet too but I was pleasantly surprised about how it felt when running. I feel like it does what the Bondi X aimed to do but actually delivers.
Love mine ... even prefer to my Asics superblast, great easy shoe and up the tempo for some strides if needed, great turnover etc.
Great first impressions. Please do a multi tester comparison with the NB SC Trainer V2.
Thanks for a great review, as always, you do the best reviews out there! Could you help me decide for a shoe for my next half marathon? I’m aiming at a pace of 4:45-4:50/k and have been looking at Saucony Endorphin PRO 3, Kinvara PRO o even NB Supercomp Elite v4. I weigh 76 kg and would like something with a nice rocker. Cheers!
thanks guys good review :) these sound like they'll be good for recovery and steady runs while i'm building up my fitness and mileage for half marathons in triathlon. what would you recommend for a neutral tempo and above shoe for faster days to compliment this shoe? would the Hoka Mach X do that?
Yeah, you can buy an Endorphin Pro for the same price (in USA and Europe at least)...
Very strange that the price in the UK is so much lower.
If you could do a comparison between the Skyward X and the On Cloudmonster Hyper, would be much appreciated!
Interesting. I bought the ASICS superblast (I have several pairs of asics i love) but am still on the fence with them. Fast but they beat my feet up a bit. I also use the hoka tecton X for trails and love them so maybe these are worth looking at for me
Superblast may take 30 plus miles to break in. I changed sockliners with another asics shoe and that helped a lot. Just find a cushy sockliner to put in it.
16:41 that rocks😅
Is it comparable to the kinvara pro then? Carbon plated max cushion daily trainer?
I find the superblast to be clunky and too firm. I was a big fan of the first Adidas prime X. Version 2 was too heavy and the great bounce was gone. I'm guessing these over stacked shoes are for heavy runners who would hit the ground too hard in nearly any other shoe.
I use my regular size on Hoka shoes but I had to go up half a size in the Rocket X 2 and it feels like a regular size for me, I wonder if the fit is similar to Rocket X 2 or regular Hoka shoes
I’ve used the Bondi 7 and 8 and I can feel the weight in the run. Do you think the Skyward is similar? Have you ran in the Bondi’s? I am looking for a comfortable shoe, but also one that is not too heavy and is good at propelling you forward.
13:39 sounds like this might be a "Jane" shoe rather than a "Kieran" shoe?
I think I’m the only person who didn’t like running in Superblast. These look more my style but the softness would probably wreck my ankle.
anyone know the brand of socks he wears? i really like those
Would this be okay for a half marathon?
This vs the Salomon S/Lab Spectur
Go ahead and mention price but make sure to also mention which one you would like if they were the same price and why. Remember there will be people watching this video in one year when both shoes have been discounted.
Can u do review Hoka skyward x vs Nike invincible 3
hoka
Seriously, this shoe might be awesome but it is truly the ugliest shoe ever made- def should wait til next year! Good to wear with a MAGA hat though 😢
Too heavy 😢😢😢
