Hoka Men's Carbon X3 (RYCM)
Hoka's Carbon X3 give the same benefits as the previous version ready for training and racing alike. Engineered with a responsive, carbon fibre plate and aggressive Meta-Rocker, this performance shoe is prepared for race day or everyday miles.
The new Carbon X3 toes the line with a brand new sock-like upper. Reworked with a premium performance knit for an improved fit and a slightly softer more responsive feel. The Swallow Tail heel provides a smooth heel to toe rockered transition and gives the shoe a bit more stability compared to other carbon plated shoes. Hoka has also shaved off a little weight from the Carbon X2 making it lighter weight!

FAQ’s & Reviews
How long will the shoe last?
On average Hoka claim their cushioning will last approx. 400 miles. However the life of the shoe varies from user to user.
How does the Carbon X3 differ from the previous versions?
The Carbon X3 seems to fit a bit wider but more secure in comparison to the Carbon X2.
Is this shoe just for racing?
No, it's not! Surprisingly the Carbon X3 is a very stable shoe with quite a bit more structure to the upper. Add to it a slightly firmer foam under foot compared to other carbon plated shoes, making it suited for racing and everyday training.
What distances can I race with the shoe?
Most likely any, however if someone is really concerned about weight the shoe is a bit on the heavy side (despite being very light!) and something such as the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 may be more suited.
