Critics' Consensus

“The HOKA Skyward X 2 is a highly comfortable and protective max-cushioned running shoe ideal for long, relaxed runs and heavier runners. While it offers excellent energy return and responsiveness, its heavier weight makes it less suitable for speed work or personal best attempts.”
