The Hoka Skyward X is a wonderful show for high mileage runs and recovery runs alike. For both the midsole really cushions the impact so making it easier on the body.

I always wanted to try a carbon plated shoe in the shoe rotation and this turned out to be an excellent choice. I have only done one long run in it so I don't have a great feel about the long runs yet, but on 5k, 10k, Half-marathon distance they feel awesome. I actually see an improvement in my speed.
The Cons:
- - There is no broad (2E) size in these shoes, so I had to go a size up to get a decent fit.
- - It feels a little unstable on the turns. You have to be carful when you go through a turn as it feels as if the show will slip off
The Pros:
- - The feedback from the carbon plate is real
- - Awesome cushioning. Please keep in mind its not race legal so as long as you are not in the pro category you should be fine.
