Hoka Cielo X1 – Lightweight, Propulsive Road Racing Shoe

Push your limits on race day with the Hoka Cielo X1, a performance-focused road racing shoe engineered for speed, responsiveness, and efficiency. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in a 5K, 10K, or marathon, the Cielo X1 combines cutting-edge propulsion technology with lightweight comfort to help you run faster with every stride.

At the core of its design is the winged carbon fiber plate, positioned between two layers of resilient PEBA foam. This combination provides explosive energy return and a responsive ride, propelling you forward while optimizing stride efficiency. The aggressive rocker shape enhances smooth transitions, allowing for effortless foot turnover and consistent momentum from start to finish.

The dual-layer PEBA midsole delivers a balance of lightweight cushioning and firmness for efficient push-off, keeping your foot close to the ground for a natural, agile feel. Dynamic cutouts reduce weight without sacrificing stability, while the minimal rubber outsole provides grip exactly where it’s needed for confident road traction.

A breathable knit upper ensures a secure, sock-like fit, while the asymmetrical gusseted tongue relieves pressure and enhances comfort. At just 263g, the Cielo X1 keeps weight to a minimum, letting you focus entirely on performance.
