Skyward X

Women's

The Skyward X is expensive and, let's face it, isn't the most attractive shoe on the market. However, I have never worn such a plush cushioned sneaker. I have a birth defect in the back of my neck that is aggravated by the force of running, even walking. I need a shoe that can absorb as much of that force as possible. These are absolutely incredible. Just recommended them to my sister who is an ER doctor and suffers from heel pain. These are a WINNER!

WOW! I've been a loyal Bondi wearer for several years. I've got horrible feet; bunions, metatarsalgia, just generally painful feet, and these shoes are AMAZINGLY comfortable. The upper is super accommodating and stretchy, I didn't need a wide. The shoe runs very true to size. (9) They base of the shoe is not as wide as the Bondi 8, so there's a bit less stability there. Almost don't need my orthotics in these. Almost. Overall, these are so fun and bouncy. Love the spring color as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I love this shoe I have terrible neuropathy barely able to walk effects my back,legs,hips I went into one of your stores tried on 2 different pairs explaining to the clerk how bad my feet were I put these on I cannot believe the relief in my feet and legs all over I have never paid this much for a pair of shoes but will not think twice about buying another pair at first I was afraid they would be too high as the sole is really thick but they felt like I was slipping on so much padding the clerk told me if you want a padded shoe this is for you have never had such relief if I don't wear these everyday I hurt but I put them on as soon as I get up these shoes are wonderful I will tell everyone I know what a great shoes they are thank you for making these shoes

The Skyward X has THE best support of all the Hoka's I've tried, and that's a constantly growing number. I broke my ankle in 3 places two years ago and still deal with chronic pain. This shoe exceeds all expectations and is so comfortable that I kept the original insole inside the shoe. Thank you, Hoka! Keep making these and add wide width on the next version. Thankfully the slightly narrow feel is not a deal breaker, which is saying a lot coming from someone with soft tissue swelling in my toes, on my instep, and around my ankle every day.
