The Hoka Cielo X1 3.0 sees Hoka update its top-tier carbon racing shoe to make it an even better fit for race day and those faster workout days.

There's changes to the upper, outsole, carbon plate design and a move away from the aggressive decoupled design featured on the Cielo X1 2.0.

Does it remain a fast and exciting shoe to run in? Testers Nick, Mike and Kieran have all been putting it to the test to find that out. This is our multi-tester take on the Hoka Cielo X1 3.0.

CHAPTERS:
00:00 – Intro
00:39 – Price and what’s new from Cielo X1 2.0?
01:33 – How do they fit?
05:08 – The Run Test
18:00 - Verdict
