A review of the Hoka One One Carbon X running shoe including how it performed during triathlon run training, both on a long run and speed work, as well as what kind of triathlete this shoe is recommended for. Also, how it compares to the Nike 4% which also has a carbon plate in the sole, but rings in at a higher price tag.

Nike has never worked for me. They are always too narrow, so I am excited to go with the Carbon X.
What else shoes do you rotate with? I don’t have a narrow feet too
Roveir Datu my latest are the Brooks Ghost. I ran the Los Angeles marathon in them this year! I don’t think I’ll go back to Hoka.
Next time you talk to Nick Bare... please educate him on how to say “one one” he was killing me in his video today about the “Hoka 1 Rincon’s” 🤣
Great Review!
I'm positive Nick doesn't care that much about it
If you are interested in these two shoes and wear orthotics. I found the Carbon x supports orthotics much better than Next 4%. Just an FYI.
I also wear a custom orthotics prescribed by my podiatrist which is impossible to use in any of Nike's shoes, especially the vapor flys. The shoes are too narrow for the orthotic and the heel is too high resulting in me feeling like my heel is being pushed out of the shoe leaving my ankle unsupported. The Hoka Carbon X (and Rincon) fit my orthotics PERFECTLY!!! I really wanted the orthotics to work for the nike's because they are gorgeous shoes, but I much rather stick to what works and save a ton of $$$.
Just a small tip: when talking about the shoes while showing running footage try not to speak about the shoes in terms of "this and this" ... maybe my brain is just slow but I was a little confused.
Never knew which one was this shoe or this shoe. 🤣🤣. He'll fix it for future videos I'm sure, he loves us.
Exactly.
this review was painful. "this shoe" had to be said 50+ times
Love the Hoka Carbon X.
I was amazed when I tried it from a friend but unfortunately was not able to find avails le in Greece and at most shops They suggested Me to try the 4%.
Sorry but it is not for my legs since I felt the shoe very narrow.
So decided to order the CARBON X from UK and I can really say that I LOVE THE HOKA ❤️
My argument with Nike has always been the narrow toe box like you mentioned. I tried to like Nike and just can't get over that aspect. Thanks for the video!
What other shoes is good if we have wide feet?
Roveir Datu Altra Escalante Racer. Make sure you get the Racer, not the normal Escalante.
These are the best running shoes I have ever used. Had to buy another pair on sale for 139.99. I am reluctant to get the newer version.
The biggest complaint of the 4% has been the width and lack of ankle support
Hi when you say width do they run wide ? Because I have wide foot and looking to change my running shoe. Thanks
@@SaltLifeGeo Im guessing they run a bit tight, at least that's what most people complain about
Love that you made this video!!! Also thanks for responding on IG TODAY!!!!
I agree on everything you said. You should also try the NewBalance FuelCell rebel. Price point is great and for shorter distances no socks are needed. cheers
The carbon plate is not there for any kind of “propulsion” when it bends, it’s about stability giving the huge chunk of zoom X foam, it’s all about that. Taller shoe = “longer legs” = linger stride. Plus Zoom X it’s the foam with the highest energy return out there
I’m liking the orange strip in your Hoka carbon x, I have them in blue. I found the Carbon X helped improve my overall running times.
I need a good performance shoe, I ran fast and mostly I try to get to longer distances, thanks for that review it was really helpfull.
Sadly I thaught Hoka is a good alternativ to the Nike %, and I am really light I just weight 125 lbs at 5'9 with 15.
Can you do a video on you home gym set up and what you advise is a good set up for cycling running,S&C etc?
Greetings from Ireland
Awesome. Been waiting for this comparison. How about durability? Will the CX‘s benefits last for more miles than the Nike’s?
Have you ever tried xero shoes barefoot shoes curious on your thoughts. Great videos!
Maybe i missed it but i didnt hear you talk about the drop differences between both shoes. It also may explain why you got more exhausted at the end. From what i red about the Hoka one one is a 5mm drop while the Nike is a 8mm drop. That is quite a difference for sure .
I'm fed up with Nike looking for something new, heard good stuff about hoka and on cloud what do you think?
I have a wide foot
don't do On Cloud with a wide foot.. they're super narrow and caused borderline stress fractures for me. nice shoe, just a bad fit
Kind of interesting, this review is...like a complete 180 from all the other reviews I've seen/read on the Hoka Carbon X.
Yep 180
I felt like i was the only one, its also 180 turn from my experience. Fore it feels really weird to go slower than 5 min km
So you recommended the Hoka for shorter races and general running. Im hearing if you can afford the 4% for Ironman or longer distance races go for it. My question is what shoe is for distance training? Nice cushion, support and will hold up for 300 miles or so?
Hoka designed It for the ultra
The whole Carbon idea is for raceday. Racing flats with more cushioning. Training? Yes you can. But buy trainers! For training. Try the Rincon(fast) and the Bondi ( longruns )
Have you tried the ON-Running CLOUDSTRATUS? Would like to see a review on them.
Actually I wanted a fast shoe for competitions sake, so the 4% is my choice. Sadly it is pretty expensive so for people who are not racing fast, I would say save your money and rather buy a pegasus or so. :)
Hello Taren, what sock are you wearing in your preview window for this video? The black and white sock. Would you recommend them? Thx in advance.
I'm still at the point where I can get a lot faster just by doing a few more speed workouts 😀.
Amen. "It is not about the bike."
TT, do you by chance wear a US size 12.5??? I wouldn’t mind taking some of those trial shoes and giving you my thoughts LOL! I’m literally right on your “borderline” for 190lb weight and 5:30/km pace LOL... I’m 186lbs and 4:40/km LT...
Size up 1/2 size. I wear a 9 in the Bondi 6 and clifton 4. The 9 in carbon x is smaller. Need to send them back and order 9 1/2.
Good news for me, I usually wear a size 10 in adidas but bought the carbon x in 10.5 as they didn't have a size 10 and was hoping for the best....fingers crossed they work for me
I've been using the carbon X and have been very happy with it. Nike can go bankrupt and I wouldn't lose any sleep.
Joe Morgan Exactly! Don’t care how good their shoe is. I’m not going to support a rotten company like Nike.
Hi I have a wide foot do you recommend? I'm also fed up with Nike trying something new and I heard good stuff about hoka same goes with on cloud. Thanks
@@SaltLifeGeo Yes, Hoka Carbon X has a roomy toe box.
hold up it’s hoka o-ne o-ne? i’ve been saying hoka 1 1
Yeah me too lol hoka 11's
Onay onay. No longer 11
Do you intend to review any of the ON shoes?
I like this video because of pace in kilometers, not miles.
Taren how was this shoe with your achilles? I am coming back from an achilles break and need a good shoe to help prevent injury!
Norman Woods I have heard that it puts a bit of strain on your achilles tendon due to the low drop. I think it depends on your running style, especially if you’re a forefoot runner or heel runner.
How can you run in such high heals?
Daily train with Hoka's, if you can afford the Nike 4% save it for races (do to the short life)
Do you prefer the carbon x or the skechers gorun razor 3?
Have you reviewed the carbon x spe yet?
Any future review of On Running shoes?
How about durability? I love the 4% and the Next%; definitely make me a more efficient runner but they lose that after 150km or so... so only use them for races. Curious to compare that with the Hokas. Thanks
Javier Valle Canals they’re much more durable and will last quite while.
Thank you very much Phil
Taren would you share how much the Hokas last in terms of mileage?
How are you suppose to break them in if they are only good for 150km? Does this mean you first use them in a race?
roydos i typically don’t run 150km when i’m trying new shoes... so i’d go for 1 or 2x 1hr-1.5hr runs, which give enough context to know if they’d be good for race day. Plus, that is what I did with the first pair, i’m on the 3rd pair now, so I don’t need to break them anymore. But yes, I don’t use them for practice, only for races
Can you do a review of the zoot carbon shoes?
Is the hoka good if your a run mostly on your toes ?
Has Sketchers sent you the Speed Elite Hyper to try?
you got a same size Carbon X with Nike 4%?
Vaporfly was over 200 bucks and wore out in under 100 miles never again would I ever buy those junk shoes 😔
Jason Bell It’s a racing shoe, not a trainer. I don’t know how anyone could log 160km in a racing shoe.
Joe Dowd I agree the problem is other strictly “racing shoes” sell for between 60 and 80 bucks 😉
Jason Bell Yeah that’s true man. The Vaporfly 4’s are a very expensive shoe but I think you definitely get your bang for buck. SAYING THAT, with Sketchers releasing their Speed Elite Hypers soon and Hoka releasing more Carbon Plated shoes, I reckon this could drive down nike’s vaporfly 4’s prices in order to compete with the shoes. Apparently the Speed Elites will retail at $190 !
I’m 212 and a wide foot but my race pace is 5:00k/m. What one do you recommend. I’m working on getting my race pace to 4:30. Thanks.
Get your running gait analysed
The Rincon is named after a very famous surf / beach town in Puerto Rico
Is the 4 mm not too low for 26.2?
Nothing better than vaporfly because those where measured and give you 9 cm.more than hoka per every stride, thas why they are faster. If you want to be comfortable hoka. Want to be fast.. Nike period.
taren I just searched up this question on google two hours ago, do you work for Google? 😳😳😳
"It is not about the bike."
Weight is king, Hoka X is like a fat man, Nike Next is like an anorexic
Sorry but the vapors have terrible ankle support, unlike what you said. typical Nike infested-american
Uh, I'm Canadian...
Triathlon Taren Oh no, switch American for Canadian... Point still stands.
@@GaminGusTav no one uses the Vaporfly expecting ankle support...
