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.

Fly to the finish line in HOKA Carbon X 3.

What’s New

HOKA added a new midsole foam that makes it snappier and propels you forward. The biggest change is in the upper—HOKA designed a performance knit upper that has a bootie-like construction.

Who It’s Best For

The HOKA Carbon X 3 was designed for runners looking for a carbon-plated shoe to run marathon or ultra-marathon distances. This shoe tends to be a bit more durable than some other carbon plated shoes and therefore, it can reliably handle speedwork or other training runs as well. It works well for the runner who likes a more responsive and snappy carbon plated shoe.

Why You’ll Love It

You will get plenty of pop and responsiveness in the HOKA Carbon X 3. The midsole, with its aggressive rocker and carbon plate, allows you to have an efficient gait throughout your run. Plus, the bold color-blocking looks great as you blaze by the competition.

Worn out fast

I’ve worn it 12 miles on treadmill and the back inner bottom is already worn out.

Great shoe

I’ve been running in the Carbon x since the beginning and love the way they feel. The cushion is appropriate and the is plenty of support. The toe box is nice and roomy. Probably the only thing I don’t totally love is the sock- like feel with the built in tongue but they run way to good to give up on them.

Awesome
