The i-Run team says
The Hoka One One Carbon X 3 shoe for women once again establishes itself as the benchmark for your running records on road and long distances.
Equipped with the unprecedented Profly X technology in the midsole, it manages to absorb impacts with the ground and return energy with each effort. The enhanced CMEVA foam amplifies cushioning and promises optimal stability.
Always present to ensure your accelerations, the carbon fiber plate contributes to your success thanks to its powerful propulsion force. The curved profile under the metas promotes a natural foot roll and thus increases your efficiency.
The all-new technical mesh upper is lighter and more comfortable than the previous version. Its enveloping bootie provides a custom fit and ideal breathability.
The rubberized EVA outsole increases your aggressiveness with an active rebound and accomplished grip. The SwallowTail widened heel facilitates landing phases and guarantees unwavering stability.
Manon Genêt from Team i-Run tested the model:
"It's a fast shoe thanks to its carbon plate, it stands out from the previous version with a new foam that offers additional propulsion. I love wearing them for performance, training, and competitions. They maintain their comfort with their curved sole profile that provides a forward tilt and relieves the calves. The enveloping bootie allows you to run with or without laces! Quick transitions ensured and foot support without pressure points."
