Unveiling the Winner: Hoka Cielo X1 vs Skyward X 

My little man is a gem. Yeah that lady cameo was a game changer

Just a messenger with information not an enabler 😂😂😂

@@AubreyRunning 😂😂😂

Superb - made me laugh a lot

This means, thank you so much, especially since you’re not looking to buy the shoes. Means a lot

Perfect out and I fully agree with you!

Comments like this make it all worth while. Very kind of you… thank you so much

He is a gem for sure!

One of the best shoes of 2024

I had the Mach 6 and it was just too narrow and not as cushioned as I had hoped. Returned them and purchased the NB Rebel V4……10,000x better!

@@JordanMVP10 Nice, they actually sell a wide version of the Mach 6, that’s what I have.

Excellent choice for sure! Those will make a great rotation! Thank you also for the kind words on the little man! Sincerely appreciated!

This means EVERYTHING! Thank you so so much!

Very hard to argue with you

With you being a superblast die-hard, I’d at least try it

@@AubreyRunning £250 is a lot of money to 'try' something 🤣

@@TheHutchRuns I meant in a shop for the feel of it. That’s always my first port of call

@@AubreyRunning good point, will have to see if anywhere near me stocks them

Please let me know what you get and how you find the experience of running in it. Thank you for the kind words about the review as well, appreciate it

Welcome aboard! Thanks for joining me on the channel and also for the encouraging feedback. Yes it’s a lot of work but I genuinely enjoy it. Cheers!

I’m with you 100% on this because your half marathon time is not too far from mine at all. I also agree with you about comfort being king, that’s exactly my thoughts as well.

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as they say 😂😂😂

I’m BFFs with that team, love them

@@AubreyRunning heard on the drop podcast that Meghan paced you to a 5k PR -- looking forward to that video :D

Fully agreed! I love the Hoka line up

Glad you like them! I love receiving such feedback coz it’s hard work

He is a cool kid… put in that wwwyyeerrrkkk sis

Tha k you very much, I’m proud of him

Wwwhhhooaaaa… the change in your half marathon pace is crazy! I have one this Sunday and that’s the shoe I’m going with as well. Thank you very much for checking my channel out and also for the amazingly kind words

That’s what I found as well and recommended it based on that premise

He is a joy and I am blessed to have him as my son! He is a gem!

Fair enough… was presenting a comparison of these 2. The rocket x2 is my personal favourite

Put in that wwyyyeerrrkkk

Absolutely… let use the ones we already have! But if you’re looking or considering new shoes… then these are worth your time

Please let me know how the half marathon goes for you. I’d love to hear about it

@@AubreyRunning absolutely thank you 🙏

Put in that wwwyyeeeerrrkkkk

Thank you very much, we are BFFs at this point

Great shoe all round!!!!

Both these shoes are amazing. Facts!!!

😂😂😂 he is cool!

I love that shoe for sure. It’s amazing for what it does and what it’s designed to do

It’s an exciting time for running shoes for sure. I agree with you, you will only need one so make it a good one.

Thank you very much! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I love getting feedback like this because it shows that people are actually engaging by with the videos and you also help shape my understanding

If you already have the rocket x2 then I’d vote for the Skyward. The Cielo X1 is also a speed shoe so you would be doubling up

Thanks Aubrey, I get what your saying . My only concern would be running a marathon in the Rocket x 2 . I know the pros can but think I might need a bit more comfort . And the skyward x would be way heavy for the marathon . Would use the cielo x 1 for some of my longer runs the 15 -20 mile and the race it’s self . Got other Hoka’s I can rotate Bondi 8 Mach 5 . Thanks for the response 👍

Thank you for that brother and cheers for the update/correction. Makes it a little more palatable

My vote for you would be either the Prine X2 strung or the Cielo X1… those are the best race day I’ve tried over a long distance (half marathon and above)

Ffaaaaccctttsss

I think you will even have more success with the Cielo depending on the pace you’re after

There definitely is but being truthful with you I will always reach for my rocket x2 before the Cielo x1

If only I could find the Rocket X2 lol

😂😂😂 see it as investing in your health

@@AubreyRunning hahaha yes that is the main goal 😍 because 💰 is just paper

Not in my experience but shin splints are down to many different causes

He is a gem.. so proud of him

Can’t say because I’ve never ran in the superblast

😂😂😂😂 I have been walking in it and it’s but feels a little unstable. It’s designed for running and I think it’s best for that.

Gracias . Entonces las nike invincible 3 seria mejor opción ya que no tiene placa de carbono?​@@AubreyRunning

Between these 2 or you mean generally? I’d generally, I’d go with the rocket x2

I genuinely and sincerely mean this when I ask you… what mileage would your preference be for adequate distance for an opinion? I am genuinely asking because I take every bit feedback seriously because it allows me to improve my channel. I don’t necessarily agree with the numbers You’ve quoted so I have chosen to take the spirit of your comment because it’s worth taking on board and considering it. I would be greatful to hear back from you or even hear from you on Instagram DM.

@AubreyRunning there are a lot of youtubers/content making jumping on the running bandwagon. You have highly quality of production than most, something which I have mentioned to you before. I also understand the importance of working the algorithm when shoes drop to ensure your content gets out there. So I would recommend being open and honest. For example if it's less than 20 miles call it a first impression review, show what runs you have completed with them. Maybe with screen grabs of the strava posts. Like so far I have done a 5k tempo, 5k easy and strides and these are my thoughts. Saving a full review for hitting around 32k/ 20 miles in them. That's pretty much what believe in the run and fordy runs does. But the quantity of your reviews vs strava shows you dont. Then if they do make it into more use you can always follow up with a 100mile review something mike ko does. Churning out videos will help your channel but not help the people watching make the correct financial decisions and as we both know shoes are going up and up in costs. Daily trainers run into £160 easily these days.

@@hippygeeza I. Your view, from a mileage perspective… what do you deem enough mileage for a full review. I’m genuinely asking

You’re getting it! 😂😂😂

I hope you caught the part where I specifically mentioned that too. Cheers

@@AubreyRunning 😅

You’re right, absolutely worthless. I must quit RU-vid now that you’ve said this. I can’t believe I’ve wasted all this effort on RU-vid.

@AubreyRunning I am, any runner review without information about size and fit are just a waste of time.

@@HyperOpticalSaint Because you have the same exact foot as him? Listen about what the shoes offer, then go try them on and see if they fit you lol. I've seen RU-vidrs say "This shoe fits true to size..." but end up being too narrow for me. Info on fit is the least of my concerns.

I can’t fault the shoe at all, it does what it needs to do and does it well. I’m loving Hoka’s innovation

🤞I have my fingers crossed. Thank you so much
