Bought these for my first marathon, greatest decision for someone looking to just complete and not stop running like me. My recovery time after the race was better than my other shoes too especially since my daily runner were stability shoes.

The weight put me off this initially but your glowing review plus others has made me wonder if it’s one worth trying 🤔

I guess the weight in your size might be more of a factor, but it’s been a lot of fun to run in!

So pleased this was a positive review. I got mine by default after I missed out on a release of Alpha Fly 3. Ran London in the Cielo and achieved a PB (3:01) bit of a bitter sweet moment as smashed my previous best but wanted a sub 3. (I’m 52) it was my quads not the shoes that cost me - they were comfortable and bouncy to the end and no issues with the laces😅. Whether a lighter pair of racers would have made the difference who knows. But I really like them.

Great review Nick. I've finally bitten the bullet and bought a pair in a newly released colourway. First impressions - bounce bounce bounce, like the Prime x Strung with more stability.

Yes.. I love the shoe laces. Give amazing lock down. I always do a double lock in all shoes and it never gets loose.

I agree. Hoka's are usually a bad fit for me - but not these. They are my most comfortable running shoes.

In Nicks view Only the ASICS MSP, the two Nike trainers beat it outright. The Adidas Pro 3 and the Saucony Elite are faster but not as fun…. Fair play Hoka.

Hi Nick, mega good video. Thank you! I've had the rocket x2 for a long time and also have the feeling that the bouncing is slowing down. Was that your impression too, did I get that right? I'm looking for something new for the Berlin Marathon. You would prefer the Alphafly 3 to the Cielo X1, right? Thanks, Ron

First run on these I hurt my foot. I then realized it was because I had bad form. The next day I adjusted the way I was striking the ground and boom. My technique is better now and feels amazing this shoe

Would love to try it but cost too expensive to just try it when I have adios pro 3 that works so well for this purpose and have gotten on sale … Maybe I will figure out way to get on sale eventually for under 200 and definitely appreciate the review!
@grantmckay7014

Agreed. Picked up Adios Pro 3 on 40% sale and it has become a great long run and/or session shoe. Hard to go past it when on sale at that price. Helps save the less durable Vaporfly 3s for race day.

Hi , does the upper break in ? Good toebox space however too snug at the side of the foot. Thanks !

Nick, as a heel striker myself, wouldn't the Edge Paris be a better option than the Sky Paris? And is the fit in the NB Elite v4 as wide as the Rebel? I like my Rebels but they are a bit wide for my narrow feet. But overall you did bring up my curiosity about the Cielo X1, if I find a nice discount I might just try it out! Although as a (very) mild supinator, that lack of support on the outside makes me wonder if it will have any effect on my ride...

Great review, really wish there was some consistency in the pacing though. This flipping between miles and kilometres is really exhausting and something I never hear outside the UK or the US. 🤣😅

I would have been interested in your opinion of the forefoot feel of the Adios Pro 3 rods v. the Hoka plate. Does Adidas have a valid point of their rods resembling the metatarsals in your foot approach offering greater midsole/forefoot torsion/flex?

I really like this shoe. The one thing keeping me from flat out loving it (besides the price) is that the fit is good for me through the heel and midfoot, but the forefoot/toe box feels like a balloon--not so much in width, but in the amount of material spanning that width, if that makes sense? I have a normal to narrower foot and that just makes it harder for me to achieve a lockdown which makes me capable of forefoot striking in the shoe with the precision that I'd like, the forefoot feels too squirrelly. That is partly on me so maybe I can improve mechanics with its help. Excited to see what happens with V2 of this shoe, hopefully they can bring the price down a little as well? Really bonkers suggested asking price in the US for this one.
