I haven't used any Hoka shoes... But I've used the OG Prime X for daily training/long runs.... 3 pairs (1800km - 1700km - 400km and going) . The coverage of the rubber under the shoe was still there after 1800km (even running on gravel from time to time), the LightStrike Pro was still bouncy towards the end. The upper never ripped unlike most other pairs. The only reason I stopped wearing them is maybe the rods under the right foot made running uncomfortable... so anytime I hear about a competitor... I wonder... do they truly last as long?
I sill have 3 pairs of the OG Prime X with each having 400+ miles on them. I run 55-70mpw on country dirt roads that are rutted, rocky and far from a road texture. I think people that call the Prime X unstable need to get some ankle strength. Its you, not the shoe.

Prime x 2 strung is fun and fast! Hoka is for slower runs
I love the Skyward X so much! Think it might be my all time fave. I definitely think it's a marmite shoe though.

Hi thanks for a great review. I just want to know. What is the difference between the Y-3 prime x2 strung vs the regular prime x2 strung?
Looking at getting a max stack for marathon training. I have the Boston 12 in a uk 7.5, should I get the prime x in the same size
Can this shoe be used at work or even loitering in the street, or is it only for racing?
no way. only running
I wear them for work😅 they are nursing shoes for me

Agree, OG prime x is still the best. Not so much in using it off road though. 😅
@@bobotmeister Over 1,000 miles on dirt roads in my pairs. No issues at all. 🤷♂
How much did prime x2 strung sacrifice for that stability everybody keeps talking about you think? I know it's heavier
