Im a heavier and slower runner. I liked this shoe even at slow paces on my long run. I felt like it was unstable at walking speeds though. It does take a little bit to get this shoe on and to get the fit right. The laces are a bit different but seemed to hold on to each other well. As I slowed down and went more to heal striking I noticed that I was landing directly on the foam at the very back so a little worried about how long this will last for me but overall really liked running in this shoe.
@@Owski87 I love this show for long runs. Used it again today on a 14 mile run. Walking it's unstable but running even at slow pace it feels great. The one issue I have with this shoe and I have with most race day shoes as a heavier heal striker is the rubber doesn't last. I have 60 miles on this shoe and the heal rubber has significant wear already. But the bounce is amazing.
@@davidg9120 Thanks, I saw that they have less tread rubber at the end of the sole under the heel. Strange solution. When you write slow, what pace do you mean?
@@Owski87 today I ran 14.5 miles overall pace was 12 min per mile. My half marathon pace is 10 min per mile but I do all of my long runs much slower around 12 min per mile pace.
@@davidg9120 10 minutes per mile is not that slow - many triathletes (after swimming and cycling) run at this pace. I've never had carbon shoes and I wonder if they will cause some new injuries instead of helping me while running, and Hoka Cielo seems to be an interesting way to start my adventure with carbon.
This is my show of the year so far, I tried the SC Elite V4 and Puma Fast R2. This is an incredible shoe.
I love this Colorway, but it is out of stock everywhere in my size.

Hi, what has been your experience with cielo x1 over the last 2 months?
