Rocket X 3

Most recent fulls Arizona I ran in Cielo X1 2.0 and I had maybe 20’miles before I did. Ottawa I ran in Rocket X2 and I had 75 miles on them Texas I ran in Rocket X2 and I had 10 miles on them Placid I ran in Rocket X1 and I had 25 miles on them I never out more than about 150-200 miles on a pair of carbon plated shoes. I’m also over 200 pounds, so my shoes are taking more of a beating than most. For Roth I’m thinking about Deviate 4 Elite since I don’t like my Rocket X3 and I’m not sure I like the Cielo x1 3.0 (although I’ve only done one 10 mile run in them so far). The why, is because I’m faster in them, which is why almost everyone should run in plated shoes. Which plated shoe is the challenge for most people. I’ve got about 6-8 plated shoes right now which is more money than most people want to spend trying things. I’ve got 15 pair of running shoes than are open and being tried/used. I like shoes though. A lot.

Hoka Rocket X3 is very under appreciated and makes an excellent first carbon race shoe

You should add the Hoka Rocket X3 to your list. Relatively stable and doesn’t punish you at slower paces

I find my Hoka Rocket X3s very comfortable a stability is pretty decent too for a lightweight race day shoe

I have used the rocket X3 but honestly the Mach 7’s are great also.

I tried the Hoka Rocket X3 and absolutely love it! Comfortable, light, fast, bouncy, but stable!
