Hoka Rocket X3 U Shoes Lime

The Hoka Rocket X3 is consistently one of the fastest models for racing distances from 5 kilometers to the marathon . Despite being slightly heavier than the competition, this shoe with a carbon fiber plate makes up for it with powerful energy return , allowing you to achieve personal bests. It's ideal for runners who maintain a pace faster than 4:00 min/km .

The midsole is made of dual-density PEBA foams , separated by a carbon plate with wing-like extensions on the lateral sides. An aggressively contoured Early Stage Meta-Rocker and inherently stable geometry ensure effective rebound and a smooth foot transition, noticeable even at slower paces. The carbon plate is exposed from the bottom through a large opening in the foam, contributing to the shoe's reduced weight . The tread, with a structure and layout similar to the X 2, is made of a stickier rubber compound , providing excellent traction on wet urban surfaces .

Significant improvements have been made to the upper and heel counter. The upper material is a technical MESH (single-layer mesh) , which is excellent at wicking away moisture and heat while offering improved breathability. The shoe's last has become wider in the midfoot , providing more freedom. The thickened tongue, without side gussets , is much more comfortable, making the shoe easier to put on, even with higher insteps. The heel counter has become more comfortable, has more foam, is slightly turned outward, and is slightly stiffened, bringing it closer to a training shoe, minimizing the risk of blisters.
