Hoka Rocket X Women's Trail Running Shoes

When a trail calls for all-out speed, change into the new Rocket X Trail. With an aggressive, road-racing-inspired rocker and H-shaped carbon-fibre plate for dynamic propulsion, this gravel-eater is begging to be set loose. From the pared-back, super-secure upper to the responsive dual-layer midsole to its lightweight, minimal outsole, this shoe was devised specifically for cruising buff dirt and gravel roads at top speed.

Breathable Mesh Upper

Designed using a breathable mesh upper, the Rocket X allows cool air to circulate while, at the same time, removing uncomfortable heat and helping to regulate temperature for a cool environment where feet can thrive. The sleek, minimal tongue sits close to the foot to help reduce irritation caused by rubbing, while the stretchy, patent-pending dynamic vamp allows for more accommodation in the forefoot, allowing your toes to splay. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system which locks the midfoot for a secure fit and also prevents in-shoe slippage.

A-TPU Midsole

Supplying you with an exceptional ride, the Rocket X utilises an A-TPU foam midsole to provide a highly cushioned, responsive ride. The foam compound adapts to your stride, providing a great balance of support and flexibility. Injury is reduced as a softer base is provided, offering cushioning to your landing with every stride taken. Inside the midsole, a newly designed H-shaped parallel carbon fibre plate delivers a smoother transition throughout the gait cycle. The carbon plate decreases energy loss while increasing propulsion and delivering an abundance of structural support, making running feel effortless and giving you extra confidence.

Zonal Rubber Outsole

With increased traction, the Rocket X ensures optimal grip with every step. When trail running, it is imperative to have assured footing on difficult, unpredictable terrain; if not, it can cause challenges to your performance. The Rocket X boasts a sticky zonal rubber outsole, which delivers plenty of grip and traction to help fill you with confidence as you take to the trails. The highly durable outsole can maintain its high level of performance regardless of what is in its path. The long-lasting rubber is durable against uneven surfaces, abrasions and scrapes. Strategically placed, the rubber outsole assists with take-offs, landings, and sudden direction changes. Multi-directional lugs complete the outsole, providing you with the grip required to conquer all trails.
