HOKA Carbon X 3
Features
Propel your way into hyperspeed with the HOKA Carbon X 3.
HOKA fine-tuned the midsole to give you a more energized ride. This endurance racer is engineered with a responsive carbon fiber plate and an aggressive Meta-Rocker to propel you efficiently through your stride. It has a rubberized EVA outsole that is durable and grippy for confidence at top speeds.
Snappy and lightweight, the Carbon X 3 is light and fast enough for racing, but durable enough to use as an everyday trainer. One of the best carbon-plated shoes, the Carbon X 3 has a wider platform compared to others brands in this category to give you a more stable ride.
The upper is brand new in the Carbon X 3. HOKA gave it a premium engineered-knit upper that is designed for lightweight and breathable performance. It has a bootie-like construction with an extended heel tab designed for an easy pull-on. Plus, its bold, asymmetrical colors will make a statement on your run.

Hard sole
Not for me. Very hard and not a true size. Maybe great for another runners. I was trying to find a faster shoes for my marathon but I think I’m going to stick to my Hoka Cliftons.
Good...not Great
Overall I do enjoy these but the shoes are a bit narrow and I'm not a fan of the upper (can't really get a good heel lock with the laces). Stability is ok (avoid unevenly paved sidewalks) but love the extra boost the carbon plate provides. Would recommend these for a 10K and under.
Carbon X3
The new shoe has no tongue ( slip in) but no padding under the laces and causes rubbing on the top of the foot. I had to put additional padding in the shoe. The Carbon X 2 was much more comfortable
