Amazing!!!

Great upgrade. Not too soft not too firm. I have ran slow recovery miles in these and i have picked ip the pace. They are great at both. So glad i tried these. Will buy another pair if they release another color way i like. I dont like the blue pair

Great Midsole But Fit Too Narrow

I had to return these because of the narrow fit. I didn't see any wide options available. Was a shame because the bounce/feel was great in the little that I wore them. Not sure why Hoka in particular has a narrow fit throughout their lineup. I know the Bondi and Cliftons have wide options but not in every colorway.

Better Than Expected

Some of the reviews weren’t great for these but I actually love them more than the originals. To be clear—all my original Skyward Xs were women’s 10 (I am a woman) but I went for the men’s 9 for the very slight additional width and I find these more comfy. Loooooove the blue, too. I also use these more for everyday and walking because I’m on my feet all day rather than just running. I have a pair of the originals I use just for running and they are a little bulky as your primary runners. But I feel like I’m walking on a cloud with everyday wear.

Great Fit And Versatile Shoe! Another Win For Hoka!

Bought this shoe a couple weeks ago and after putting about 50 miles on them, my feet did not hurt once. Very plush and comfortable ride, with lots of bounce and cushion. I own the Clifton 10, Bondi 9, and the first Skyward X, and I must say this is probably the best Hoka pair I own. Very similar feel to the Asics Superblast 2 in my humble opinion. A little on the pricey side at $225, but well worth the comfort and performance.
