Men's Hoka Carbon X 2 Reviews

4.7 Rating 3 Reviews

This is the second incarnation of Hoka One One's fastest racing shoe: Carbon X 2. The carbon-fibre plate propels you forward from footstrike to toe-off to enhance your speed. The designers of this new version focused on improving the fit by upgrading the engineered mesh upper with embroidered TPU yarns, as well as a slimmer, jagged tongue and refined heel collar to offer you additional security and comfort.

“I normally use Brooks or New Balance running shoes but these Hoka running trainers are by far the best for my knees. Very comfortable to wear and great support.”

“First time experience with Hoka brand as well as Carbon plated running shoes. Originally tried Hoka One One Carbon X in the "Run and Become" Victoria branch and found them comfortable enough despite my wide feet. As I knew that Carbon X2 were being released soon, I decided to wait until they would become available from these guys. I am yet to put them to the real test in terms or running in them various workouts, however a few points to note: - they came slightly larger than Carbon X ( I settled for UK11.5 in X2 whereas it was size UK12 in original Carbon X that suited me) - I have wide feet and Carbon X2 suited my foot, the sole is wide enough as well and you feel stable - a lot of online reviews and videos suggest that X2 is a huge improvement on the X, hence I decided to give it a try; none of the Nike carbon plated running shoes fitted me due to my wide feet and those models have a rather narrow/ unstable sole from my experience.”
