Product Highlights:
The HOKA Cielo X1 3.0 is the ultimate race-day weapon for marathons, half marathons, and fast road racing where every split second counts.
The midsole features a slightly softer dual layer of PEBA superfoam, which gives the shoe more bounce, squish, and explosive energy return. At the same time, a new carbon fiber plate drops the winglets and adds aggressive toe spring, so the shoe rolls smoothly from heel to toe with powerful forward drive.
With increased speed comes the need for confidence-inspiring traction, and the new textured polyurethane outsole brings superior grip while reducing weight.
Lastly, the breathable leno weave upper offers a dialed-in racing fit with asymmetrical lacing and dynamic vamp. No bulk, just locked-in performance.
Built to help speed-driven runners go faster with less effort, the HOKA Cielo X1 3.0 is the go-to for elites and advanced racers targeting personal bests.
NOTE: In order to maintain consistency, Running Warehouse hand measures all shoes for accurate stack heights. While we measure this shoe at 48 mm in the heel, its heel bevel clears it for competition use by keeping it within the World Athletics requirements of 40 mm or less, based on their measurement standards.
