With already two World Records under its belt, the HOKA Carbon X is a high-performance racing shoe fast enough for marathons with enough protection for ultramarathons.
Optimizing all of HOKA's key technologies in a contemporary package, this shoe is not only incredibly lightweight, maximally cushioned, and super smooth through the gait cycle but also extremely propulsive.
This is made possible by an amplified rocker design and a unique combination of foams that surround a specially engineered carbon fiber plate. The top layer of foam is for comfort and the bottom layer is for propulsion. With the use of this technology, HOKA was able to create a versatile shoe that's lightweight while remaining incredibly resilient mile after mile.
