The Hoka Cielo X 2 LD Spikes is a distance track spike designed for runners seeking a super-lightweight, carbon-plated option for races from 3k to 10k. The shoe features a snug-fitting upper made of breathable engineered mesh with see-through slits.
The ride is surprisingly cushioned, considering its weight of 3.8 oz, with the super critical CMEVA midsole foam providing some impact protection.
The carbon plate and forefoot PEBAX spike plate offer a snappy and efficient toe-off, making it an ideal choice for speed work on the track or well-groomed grass cross country course, especially on race day.
The sidewalls and guidance line in the midsole provide subtle stability for a secure feel. Overall, the Hoka Cielo X LD is an excellent option for runners wanting a high-performance track spike with carbon plate technology.
