“it's more reliable than something like a Hoka Skyward X2, but it kind of leans that way in terms of the ride”

“The tongue is too short, as on some other Hoka shoes recently. Skyward X 2, I think, was one of the good examples there.”

“Now, if we talk about the Skyward X, the Skyward X2 this is our newest version of this shoe in which we reduced a little bit of the weight. We also reduced the stack as well.”

“So, this is just a really well well executed update. Lower stack, 26 g lighter weight, my US 8.5, redesigned plate, comfortable upper that's supportive enough. It's a good one.”

“Skyward X 2, I think they did a great job on those things that they changed. And it's a shoe that I very much like and I I was really looking forward to getting a new version because I needed a new Sunday morning shoe.”

“Version 2 drops the stack height just a teeny bit, drops the weight a ton, and makes the shoe much more runnable and much more enjoyable for a variety of different efforts.”

“Skyward X 2 if you want a luxurious super comfortable recovery run shoe, something for just long miles. If you're thinking zone one and zone two, get the Skyward X 2.”

“the foam just feels a little softer and lighter. There's a new plate in it that just seems to roll really well with it... not only do you get the cushion and the feeling of that nice underfoot rocker going through your stride, but weighing uh over an ounce less. Mine came in at 10.5 oz.”

“This feels like the premium Bondi X. You've got some better foams. You've got a plate. Um, so the one thing we haven't noted yet is the price tag. So, this shoe is going to come in at $225.”

“Today, we are talking about the new Hoka Skyward X 2. Now, I know there's been a lot of reviews about this shoe already, but I am just getting to it, getting my feet in it, and going for runs, and I think I finally have my thoughts gathered on this shoe, kind of. I'm a little bit torn on it.”

“I think better than the Hoka Skyward X 2 for it as well because you do get a bit more of an immediate return”

“It's the Hoka Skyward X V2. ... This is a very stellar shoe. ... I do not get foot fatigue in the Skyward X V2. This is the most max cushion daily trainer of the lot”

“I prefer the Paramount Max because it has a little bit of kind of extraness... Plus, it is $25 cheaper cuz the Skyward X comes in at 225.”

“My fifth shoe here is the Hoka Skyward X 2. This one is more of a comfort cruiser, so you're not really picking up the pace in this one, but I just really enjoy it for those recovery days, easy days, very comfortable, lots of fun.”

“Today we're going to be talking about the new Hoka Skyward X 2. It's hard not to say that this is not a niche shoe. This to me is almost like a niche of a niche of a niche. Like, I call this my Sunday morning shoe.”

“the Hoka Skyward X 2. So, Skyward X OG was legend of the game... This one less so... it just does not have the same ride that the same crazy pop as the first one. However... it has the comfort, protection, and reliability.”

“in this version, you actually have a PEBA top layer of foam, and then you have a carbon fiber plate, and then you have a bottom layer of super critical EVA. So, while it does kind of look aesthetically like the Bondi, I think this is a premium premium version of it, and a little bit more performance-oriented, and just honestly more fun.”

“these shoes just became something that I was obsessed with”

“Next shoe is the Hoka Skyward X 2. This is another one to consider. I like it a lot. Got carbon plate in there, big stack, Pebax foam, all that sort of stuff. Dual foam set up. As I said, I really like it. Again, a shoe that I shouldn't really like, but I do. It's up there with the the Hyper 3 in terms of a long run shoe competitor for me within this sort of list I'm giving you. It's a very comfortable shoe, but it does come alive when you get into some paces on it, which is what I like about it. Again, not particularly light, and actually none of these are particularly light other than I suppose the Superblast. But anyway, it's again very capable shoe, very different shoe, but I like it. I like the feedback I get from it. It kind of gives me Neo Vista the vibes, actually. But it is again on the expensive side, 180 pounds.”
