Hoka One One Women's Carbon X Running Shoes

The heart of the Hoka One One Women's Carbon X Shoes lie in the advanced and forward-thinking midsole construction. This neutral road runner features a layered density PROFLY X foam midsole, designed with a soft and light top layer to give a comfortable footbed, while a denser, rubberised bottom layer provides good ground contact, better energy return and durable abrasion resistance.

Sitting in between these two layers is a carbon fibre plate that curls under the lateral toes, preventing resupination and ensuring a smooth transition through the gait cycle. This innovative system works in synergy with the early-stage Meta-Rocker to guide the foot - minimising energy loss and enhancing structure for maximum propulsion and an effortless running experience. 

The upper is comprised of a single-layer engineered mesh that offers a supportive, locked-down fit and excellent breathability - allowing air to quickly penetrate for efficient ventilation to the forefoot area, keeping your feet cool as you rack up the miles on a hot and sunny afternoon. Embroided reinforcements add structure and durability to the upper, keeping the heel locked in place for a precision fit while the gusseted tongue prevents migration across the instep and prevents debris from entering the shoe so you stay focused and free from distraction. 

Finally, the rubberised foam outsole is both flexible and durable so your foot can bend and flex naturally while withstanding the rigours of daily running for long-lasting wear. It also provides responsive ground contract for high rebound cushioning and delivers optimum levels of grip and traction over a variety of running surfaces.
