Why We Like The Carbon X 3 Running Shoe

Speed meets comfort in the Carbon X 3 Running Shoe. Our strides open with the new knit upper and integrated tongue giving us a sock-like fit, and the low-profile platform feeling like our soles sprouted cush. As we fly atop asphalt, the snappy carbon plate and early-stage meta-rocker propel us into quick, powerful transitions that find us a new personal best.

Best shoe I've ever run in.

So much to like. Light and fast. Have gotten 2 PR's with these shoes. My favorite thing is that it is like a loafer, No tongue to deal with. So comfortable.

Iron Mike

im bumed out that they discontinued this shoe . ive fallen alot and ive never fallen in this shoe . It's lite and easy to pick your feet up and the soles are thin so i don't kick a rock and wind face down and bleeding . My Daughter told me to buy 2 pairs but I'm too cheap for that

Exactly What I Was Looking For

Anatomically, I have a limited range of forward motion in my ankles, and my podiatrist recommended I get a pair of rocker shoes to help reduce the progression of arthritis on the front of my ankles when I walk, run, or hike. I did a lot of research into running/walking shoes and this shoe was the only one that had such an aggressive rocker along with a carbon plate (so the rocker really takes effect) AND was actually a good-looking shoe. These shoes have a very sleek look, are very comfortable, and protect my ankles perfectly for walking, running, and every day use. Just wish they had more color options, but these will be my go-to shoes for years to come.

4TH PAIR?

bought the Carbon x3. I am NOT a runner and this is a racing type shoe which has a rocker feel. the tongue is not easy to to slide into but once on, they are comfortable like the others. Also my favortie look of all my Hokas.

Awesome

My first experience with Carbon plated shoes; I was very impressed; long-time running dealing with arthritis and other age related issues. The ride was extremely comfortable and I think will be a good shoe for me to run shorter races (5K 10K) and not have to worry too much about impact.

Did not like the fit

The shoe was gorgeous. I love the colors, but it was just too difficult to get my big foot into it.
