Guru tip– One word: Trampoline

Tech tip– Introducing the Hoka Skyward X.  This unique “Super Trainer” is the pinnacle of Hoka’s training technology. A top layer of soft yet highly responsive PEBA foam and bottom layer of supercritical EVA foam sandwiches a convex carbon fiber plate that creates a suspension system which mimics a trampoline with each step.  This stable system pairs well with a signature Hoka rocker for a smooth ride that feels great at all paces. But enough with the technical jargon, The Hoka Skyward X provides a riveting ride that accommodates all paces with maximum comfort and bounce. Speaking of maximum comfort, the flat knit upper has a sock-like fit with a traditional heel collar to provide one of the best fitting uppers on the market. Whether you’re looking for a show for long runs, races, workouts, or everyday mileage the Skyward X is truly a swiss (or in this case  french) army knife in your footwear arsenal.
