Correction: Skyward X is £185 and not £225. It’s $225 in the US.
One of the most popular questions I have received is which shoe my viewers should buy between the Hoka Cielo X1 and the Skyward X. In this video, I would like to help you with your decision by showcasing both and sharing highlights and minuses of each.
What is your preference?

Robotic and not having half your charisma.

So so cute! I found you because of your collab with Emily. FWIW, I ran my half marathon pace a full 2 minutes faster PER MILE in my Cielo X1's in the last race I did. Absolutely bonkers.

I just picked up the Skyward X. I'm a muscular guy who likes to put in the miles as well. These shoes are like running on a cloud and propel you forward better any other shoe I've tried. I'm not normally a big Hoka guy but these have truly impressed me. You don't feel the weight because of the forward propulsion. I use these for longer runs to lesson the stress on the joints, though I can just as easily go up tempo at 5-10kms. Perhaps it's because I have strong legs but I can use these for speed workouts easily...in some ways they are so good it feels like I'm cheating lol. I do prefer my Endorphin Speed 3s for faster up tempo track work but I'm a sprinter and this is usually when I'm working 400 meter sprints or running ladders. I thought about picking up a pair of Takumi Sen 10s as well but I'm not sure there is enough cushion there compared to my Endorphins. Either way, very impressed with these shoes. It's the best Hoka I've ran in.

Hello Aubrey, thank you for the nice review! I will be running the authentic Marathon to Athens this Autumn with 400m in altitude. My weight will probably be around 90kg. I was thinking about getting a new shoe for this occasion. My 21k PB is 1:43 and I aim for sub3:30 in the 42k. What would be your suggestion? im attracted to the Skyward X tbh. Keep up the highvalue videoproduction :)

Thanks Aubrey, currently torn between these two shoes . Currently run in Rocket X2 which are the best and Bondi 8 for my long runs . Currently racing 5&10 k so the rocket X2 does the job . Ran a half in them last year and they where great. But I have entered a marathon in December and wanted a shoe for the longer distances . Thanks for the info 👍

Thanks Aubrey, I get what your saying . My only concern would be running a marathon in the Rocket x 2 . I know the pros can but think I might need a bit more comfort . And the skyward x would be way heavy for the marathon . Would use the cielo x 1 for some of my longer runs the 15 -20 mile and the race it’s self . Got other Hoka’s I can rotate Bondi 8 Mach 5 . Thanks for the response 👍

Cielo I find quite unstable, the cutout in the heel is the issue and to soft imho, also seems to force you where you place the foot. Fit is great though and great colour. Skyward x is the rolls Royce of max cushion shoes and oddly feels more stable than the cielo. As a race shoe I prefer the Adios pro 3. Great production both you guys 🎉❤

@AubreyRunning there are a lot of youtubers/content making jumping on the running bandwagon. You have highly quality of production than most, something which I have mentioned to you before. I also understand the importance of working the algorithm when shoes drop to ensure your content gets out there. So I would recommend being open and honest. For example if it's less than 20 miles call it a first impression review, show what runs you have completed with them. Maybe with screen grabs of the strava posts. Like so far I have done a 5k tempo, 5k easy and strides and these are my thoughts. Saving a full review for hitting around 32k/ 20 miles in them. That's pretty much what believe in the run and fordy runs does. But the quantity of your reviews vs strava shows you dont. Then if they do make it into more use you can always follow up with a 100mile review something mike ko does. Churning out videos will help your channel but not help the people watching make the correct financial decisions and as we both know shoes are going up and up in costs. Daily trainers run into £160 easily these days.
