Hoka skyflow after 100 miles

M 24 5k pb:19:10 10k pb:38:38

Not being a fan of hoka's standard daily trainer's the clifton and the bondi when I heard that the skyflow was releasing and that it was gonna have the supercritical Eva foam I was hyped so I went and bought it. Here are my thoughts after 100 miles:

Upper: The upper is the typical engineered mesh you find on the clifton as well and it's quite breathable and comfortable. No complaints here.

Fit: Regarding the fit I went true to size with this one and it fits really well. Bare in mind though the shoe is on the narrow side and if you have not tried a hoka shoe before you will probably need to go half or a full size up compared to brands like Nike for example.

The ride: Ngl at first the shoe felt quite weird. What I mean by that is that the foam in the heel did not match up well with the rest of the foam in the forefoot that's why I did not share my initial thoughts because I thought that the show needed some breaking in first.Let me tell you whe I hit 30 miles with these ( 50 km) they came back from the dead. The ride felt really incredible for a daily trainer. The shoe was responsive had some bounce not too soft not too firm either( although it's on the firmer side if you want to be nitpicking) and I was cruising with this in my typical 7:25-7:35 per mile pace for everyday runs. Also the shoe has enough protection to take you into the long distance as well. Also some people could even do somw strides with these with no problem although the weight might hold them back a bit.

Outsole: As you can see from the 2nd picture the outsole still holds up really well and think this will be way more durable than the bondi and clifton. This new generation of hoka shoes in general has improved in the durability department for sure( maybe the Rincon is the only exception)

All in all I think the Hoka skyflow is a great daily trainer for anyone that's looking for a daily workhorse to do most of their miles that's also a bit more responsive and fun than your typical daily trainers. If anyone with wide feet wants to get these I would suggest going with the wide version if they can find it. Also I would not suggest to anyone that's looking for a lightweight daily trainer. You could go for the Mach 6 instead.
