Our running shoe reviewer and super shoe expert Alex Cyr ran a couple hundred miles in Hoka's newest super comfortable running shoe, the Hoka Skyward X. He ran a fast tempo workout with it in Boston during Marathon weekend, a slew of easy runs in Toronto, and a long run with some tempo in Iceland. Yes,  the Hoka Skyward X is a big, max-cushioned running shoe that you could call "heavy." Yes, the stack height is ridiculous, and it's quite thick, even for a trainer. But this super trainer has earned its name, because the Hoka Skyward X also has serious bounce. And it could be the "one shoe for all occasions" for certain runners. But is Hoka's latest big, bold max cushioned running shoe worth the pricey $225 USD? Alex breaks it all down in his in-depth shoe review.
