The HOKA Cielo X1 is built for runners chasing records. Designed with cutting-edge racing technology, this super shoe delivers a powerful combination of propulsion, responsiveness, and plush cushioning – making it ideal for long-distance events from the half marathon to the full 26.2.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Dual-Layer PEBA Midsole Foam
  Feather-light yet energetic, the PEBA midsole gives you bounce and protection without bulk, allowing for fast turnover and reduced fatigue.

• Winged Carbon Fiber Plate
  The forked plate design offers stability and propulsion with every stride, especially in the forefoot, where runners need it most during high-effort runs.

• Aggressive Rocker Geometry
  With a high toe-spring and early-stage rocker, the Cielo X1 encourages a fluid, forward roll—keeping you moving fast with less effort.

• Breathable Mono-Mesh Upper
  A performance-tuned upper with zonal reinforcement delivers a secure lockdown while allowing airflow to keep your feet cool on race day.

• Strategic Outsole Rubber
  Targeted rubber coverage in high-impact zones reduces weight and enhances grip, even at high speeds.
