Hoka Women's Rocket X Trail

A top-tier race shoe, especially for shorter distances and fast training runs. By Hoka standards, the Rocket X Trail has firm cushioning and a very good ground feel. Compared to other Hoka models, the stack height is quite moderate.

The Rocket X Trail performs best on easy trails and gravel roads. On these surfaces, it rewards good running technique: the lightweight construction and the carbon plate’s rebound return some of the energy from landing back into toe-off.

We do not recommend this shoe for beginner runners or for walking, as the cushioning—and especially the carbon plate—requires some speed and force to function properly.

• For neutral gait
• 5 mm heel-to-toe drop
• Midsole combines two different foam types
• Lightweight, minimalist outsole with 3.5 mm lugs
• Meta-Rocker construction and carbon plate help efficiently roll the stride forward
