HOKA Skyflow Review | A Smorgasbord of HOKA Tech

The Skyflow is a brand new premium neutral daily trainer from HOKA and the Fleet Feet Review Team put it to the test.
It uses a super-critical EVA foam compound, similar to the Mach 6, making advancements to the traditional EVA compounds used in the Bondi and Clifton and combines it with the geometry of the Skyward X offering a extra-cushy, springy ride with a supportive frame and smooth forefoot rocker profile.
This daily trainer is going to launch exclusively at run-speciality stores, like Fleet Feet on 7/15.

Novablast 4 vs Skyflow please!!!! Both has same stack, same rocker, same bouncy foams

@SarahGohmann 5 күн бұрын

Would love a comparison between the Skyflow and Topo Atmos. The specs are similar and they are the same price.

This shoe is basically a combination of mach, clifton and bondi. Also an early stage rocker alternative to the skyward x which is late stage (more designed for recovery). The scf eva tends to be more firm compared to the standard eva in clifton, its also got a bit more of a stable base

I thought I heard this shoe was in between the Bondi and Clifton? But from what you said, it's a combination of Clifton and Mach instead.

@fleetfeet699 Ай бұрын

Good point! We initially heard that the shoe would be between the Bondi and Clifton, but after the Fleet Feet Review Team put miles in the shoe, we almost all found the underfoot feel and ride to be more of a mixture between the Mach and the Clifton, especially given the Supercritical EVA, while the stack height lends itself closer to the Bondi.

I can see Hoka trying to move the Clifton away from the running segment and more lifestyle athleisure. It's not really going against the Mach based on the ride, they are trying to get the first time half marathon and marathon runners who don't want 3 shoe rotations for everything.

I would love to see this compared to the New Balance Rebel V4.

@fleetfeet699 Ай бұрын

We think there are some big differences between those two shoes. For one, we put the Rebel v4 in the uptempo daily trainer category while we put the Skyflow in the more classic daily trainer category. With that being said the biggest difference will come from the midsole and underfoot feel. The Rebel v4 may feel a bit more peppy and bouncy due to the PEBA-blended FuelCell foam while the Skyflow uses a Supercritical EVA. The Skyflow will also have a higher stack height and will weight a bit more than the Rebel v4.

Thanks for the insight! Much appreciated.

..this shoe has me a bit intrigued. I might even go as so far as to try it on...?

@fleetfeet699 Ай бұрын

Try it at your local Fleet Feet on 7/15!

@joeb1021 Ай бұрын

When will the shoe be available at fleet feet?

@fleetfeet699 Ай бұрын

7/15.

@Miguel-mv2bs Ай бұрын

Is this stable enough for those who overpronate?

@fleetfeet699 Ай бұрын

While it's not a stability shoe per say, the Fleet Feet Review Team did find the shoe to be quite stable to do the firmer, more responsive foam and wide base. - Max

Same fit than skyward x or ½ size up?

@sheritaylor7997 6 күн бұрын

Is it as narrow as the Mach ?

@melstair 9 күн бұрын

How does it compare the Skyward X?

@fleetfeet699 6 күн бұрын

The Skyflow took inspiration from the geometry of the Skyward X, especially its rocker shape. The Skyward X with it's carbon fiber plate and PEBA-based midsole will give it a bit more propulsion and bounce than the Skyflow, while the Skyflow may feel a bit more firm and stable. - Max

@brianflath9037 Ай бұрын

Interesting but seems like HOKA just keeps adding more & models that are combos of what they already have. I’m a Mach guy myself.

@antonioromulodelcarmen283 Ай бұрын

So… this is a new Bondi then?🤔

@fleetfeet699 Ай бұрын

The Bondi will update in 2025, we believe. - Max

@davidrosenthal5795 Ай бұрын

No, not at all. Bondi 9 looks epic though

@femaciel Ай бұрын

Better stick with the cheaper lightweight Mach 6

@snowwalker9999 Ай бұрын

Completely unnecessary shoe. It's all marketing targeting Hoka fans with extra cash (or no cash) because Hoka knows they would buy them.

@samkovalchik5655 Ай бұрын

To me this seems like a shoe for people who enjoy the Mach 6 but want a little more cushioning for long runs that isn't as soft as something like the Clifton, but lighter than the Bondi. Plus there seems to be many complaints about the narrowness of the Mach 6 which this seems to fix being a wider more accommodating shoe for the bulk of one's training/easy miles. However; I do see where you're coming from in that someone who might already own the Mach 5/6 and the Clifton might not necessarily need something like this in their rotation.

@davidrosenthal5795 Ай бұрын

You haven’t run in this shoe. So be silent, you have no idea what you are talking about. It’s great, way better for me to run in than Clifton or Mach. 150 miles in and it’s a winner.

@samkovalchik5655 Ай бұрын

@@davidrosenthal5795 That's great to hear they've been holding up well for you! Really looking forward to getting a pair on my feet when they release in July 🙂

@Carlosediaz543 Ай бұрын

I actually respectfully complete disagree for years and I mean years everyone and their mom is complaining about hoka using old school EVA in their shoes. When brands are using pedax, TPU and all these fancy foams in their shoes like ZOOMX,POWERRUNPB,etc This is hoka’s effort to get back on the map

Guilty. ☝️ I'll probably buy em. Lol
