Oh my word, they look like marshmallows! How much do you think they weigh, my friend? Will they float on water?
Kudos for the pict.
Brojos, seriously, as much money as you are hauling from this website, would you back some independent testing? (But how would we assure the testing is truly objective?)
These shoes look comfy. I want to know how many miles they stay comfy?
Gee, four years after we realized Rupp was wearing something weird, Hoka comes out with something with 72 hours to spare? Sure they don't need more time?

This is their third carbon plated shoe not their first. Try and keep up

I believe Walmsley or one of the Hoka guys said they have had them for a good bit now. I think Walmsley wore them in Phoenix for his half?
Well, you might want to get Ben Rosario's take, about 'being in the Hoka DNA', because before they were calling those alpha's 'clown-shoes', Hoka's had already owned that title for years.

Don’t know about the half. But in the interview he did with the JoBros he said he wore them for the Pemberton 50k and there’s a photo from that race in the side bar of the associated article.

His shoes from the half look like Carbon Rockets
I prefer Jims name for the shoe. They should give him a job in marketing.
While Hoka still keeps using standard EVA foam they will never be competitive

Not true, Hoka is the only brand that has really competed with Nike in the CF shoe realm. Plus, The Carbon X is a better shoe than the Next % in many regards. It has far greater longevity, stability, usability, and it accommodates a greater range of foot types.

And it's more affordable!
None of that matters if they don't actually help you run faster than the Vaporfly's.
I'm sure the toebox has plenty of room

I would argue that the Carbon X has the ability to provide a large improvement to both efficiency and performance over a traditional trainer or racing flat. I know many runners who have set new PB(at 13.1/26.2 distances) since switching from a traditional racing shoe to the Carbon X. You just tend not to hear about them as much because the overwhelming number of Next% runners.
Based on your claims I am sure you have done your research. I, on the other hand, have yet to see a scientific comparison of the two shoes. If one exists please point me in that direction.

I'm not claiming anything. I'm just saying who cares how long they last or how well they fit. If they don't help people run faster, then none of that matters.

"don't actually help you run faster than the Vaporfly's" <---not a claim?
"they don't help people run faster" <---I would say that is a fairly strong claim.
