I'm curious. Any thoughts on the longevity and durability of these sneakers?

They're holding up really well for me. The midsole is maintaining it's resilience thanks to the PEBA foam being used, and the outsole traction is still in very good shape.

Hi mate. Great review. Do you had the feeling you got more medial arch support in this shoe? It look more center but some review say it lead more to lateral movement because the medial side is more dominant in foam? I am a supinator so a shoe that push me outside will kill me :). Skyflow for example I feel more medial support especially with my podo insole. Thank !

No I didn’t notice any of that at all, they feel very neutral to me. It could be the insole doing it?

@@trailandkale thanks I gone order them and try. For me the most important that they a flat no more foam etc. Medial. I was looking for a stable shoe for me as heavier 85 runner. I think this is more suit me then the hurricane 24 or puma mag max with a higher drop. Lower drop is mostly more stable for me especially with a higher stack.

I normally wear wide Hoka but really wanted these. I went .5 a size bigger which has helped. Ive onky done 15 miles in mine so far and mainly using them for threshold and temp runs and have fiund them really nice shoes. I also have Clifton 8, Speedgoat 5, Rincon 3, Bondi 8 and Kawana but these are the comfiest.

I suffer from ITB syndrome. I'm wearing the GT-2000 12 as I have flat feet and overpronate. I tried the Asics Superblast, and it gave me ITB tendinitis in my right knee. Some say that a low drop shoe would be better. Since the Skward X has 5mm drop, would this be a better choice? thanks in advance.

Yes, and I agree - a low drop is always better where possible. I think you’ll love the Skyward X

I just picked these up. I'm a muscular guy who likes to put in the miles as well. These shoes are like running on a cloud and propel you forward better any other shoe I've tried. I'm not normally a big Hoka guy but these have truly impressed me. You don't feel the weight because of the forward propulsion. I use these for longer runs to lesson the stress on the joints, though I can just as easily go up tempo at 5-10kms. I do prefer my Endorphin Speed 3s for faster up tempo track work but I'm a sprinter and this is usually when I'm working 400 meter sprints or running ladders. I thought about picking up a pair of Takumi Sen 10s as well but I'm not sure there is enough cushion there compared to my Endorphins. Either way, very impressed with these shoes. It's the best Hoka I've ran in.

That’s awesome to hear! I totally agree with all of that too - the spring in them makes them feel a lot lighter! Oh and the endorphin Speed is also an epic shoe! Recently reviewed the Speed 4 and it really impressed me!

Toe box is roomy but not for wide feet? “Roomy” sounds like there’s more room.

Wide feet extend across the whole length of the foot. A wide toe box is great for those who like toe splay when running (or have wide toes).

Sir, Could you please compare with Bondi 8? I am considering to buy the Skyward X not for running but for my injured foot, Bondi 8 is a good choice for foot injury, not sure with Skyward X. I had tried March X, it was not good for me. I am looking for some type similar as Bondi 8 for daily walking.

Have you tried the Clifton 9? It’s a great option for walking. The Skyward X has a carbon fiber plate, so not the best option for walking. You could try it though!

Hoka Skyward x or Asics Superblast for the kinda do everything shoe?
@trailandkale
4 ай бұрын
Such a close call between these two! I love them both but I think it’s the drop that could be the decider for many. 5mm on the Skyward x and 8mm on the Superblast (I prefer the lower drop) - but then again I prefer the lighter geometry of the superblast.. if I had to pick 1 I’d probably go for the superblast.

I’d say they’re closer to the cloudmonster Hyper. And that’s a really close call but I think the Skyward X narrowly wins it.
