HOKA Cielo X1 vs. HOKA Rocket X2 | Clash of HOKA’s Carbon-Plated Titans

Both shoes are race-day-ready, souped up with carbon fiber plates and heavy doses of superfoam. But subtle differences in geometry, midsole foam and carbon plate alignment make for a distinctly different underfoot feel.
Which one is right for you? Let Brandon explain.

Did my first run in the Cielo X1. First time Hoka shoes fit me and I have been trying them for a few years.. Alway to narrow even in wide. Cielo X1 is amazing for wide feet. The shoe is definitely not a racer. Excellent long run shoe. Legs feel fresh after a long run even at my advanced age ❤

Thanks for the love! - Brandon

Liking the laces on the Cielo X 1 is sure to spark controversy, lol. Great comparison!

We feel it's only a lukewarm take! - Max
