Hoka Skyward X: Plush Performance for Everyday Training

Experience the next generation of training innovation with the Hoka Skyward X, a revolutionary carbon-plated road shoe designed for athletes who demand unparalleled comfort and performance. The Skyward X redefines what’s possible in everyday training footwear, blending luxurious cushioning, advanced engineering, and cutting-edge materials to create a shoe that feels as good as it performs. Whether you're logging daily miles, recovering after a hard effort, or simply enjoying the rhythm of the road, the Skyward X is your ultimate training partner.

Plush Cushioning Meets Advanced Innovation

The Skyward X introduces a revolutionary suspension system that delivers unmatched softness and responsiveness. At its core is a convex carbon fiber plate, an engineering marvel that compresses and springs back with each step, creating a dynamic and suspended ride unlike anything you’ve experienced. This plate works in harmony with a layer of highly resilient PEBA foam, positioned closest to your foot to deliver plush cushioning and exceptional energy return, helping you conserve energy and stay fresh during long training sessions.

For added stability, the Skyward X incorporates a super critical EVA rocker frame, providing a solid base that complements the shoe's plush feel. This combination of technologies ensures that every step is smooth, balanced, and effortless, no matter the pace or distance.

Effortless Transitions for Every Step

At the heart of the Skyward X’s design is its Deep Active Foot Frame™, a feature that cradles your heel for a locked-in, stable fit. Paired with Hoka’s signature MetaRocker™ geometry, the shoe encourages seamless heel-to-toe transitions, helping you maintain an efficient stride with less effort. Whether you're focusing on endurance runs or recovery days, the Skyward X’s smooth ride ensures consistent performance with a feeling of ease and flow.

Engineered for Comfort and Fit

The Skyward X features a flat knit upper with zonal engineering, delivering a sock-like fit that adapts to your foot for superior comfort and breathability. This lightweight, flexible material provides targeted support and airflow where you need it most, ensuring your feet stay cool and comfortable even during high-mileage training sessions.

The minimalist design of the upper eliminates distractions, while the snug yet accommodating fit enhances your connection to the shoe, making it feel like an extension of your foot.
