  • The HOKA Carbon X 2 for men are neutral racing shoes. The HOKA Carbon X 2 is the perfect competition shoe for running long distances at high velocities. The shoes aren't just suitable for distances up to a marathon, but can also be used for ultra runs. The original Carbon X was specially developed for breaking the world record on the 100 kilometre distance. These shoes can take a beating! The second version of the model has undergone a few updates. A striking addition is found in the higher heel counter. This anatomical heel counter flares out away from the Achilles and thereby keeps the Achilles tendons free from irritation through chafing.

    The Engineered Mesh material is light in weight and fits smoothly around the feet. The upper features a bit more structure than the previous version and thereby also provides some additional support. The material is highly breathable and keeps the feet cool. The Carbon plate in these competition shoes has been fitted a bit further away from the foot and closer to the outsole. In these second editions the carbon plate is fitted in between the PROFLY midsole and the Rubberized EVA outsole. This plate provides a flexible and fast heel-to-toe transition and returns a lot of energy. The composition of softer and harder cushioning material has also changed a bit. The Carbon X 2 features more soft foam than the first Carbon X did. Thanks to this the Carbon X 2 has a softer instep and more cushioned running experience without surrendering responsiveness.

    The midsole protrudes a bit more on the back than the original Carbon X. This protrusion ensures a soft and smooth heel landing. Are you more of a midfoot or forefoot runner? Don't worry. You won't notice that the protrusion is there. The Meta-Rocker geometry adds to a fast transition of the feet and to the explosive feel of the Carbon X 2. Thanks to the wide base of the shoes you'll experience a stable and forgiving feel when going fast!
