The Hoka Tecton X3 is Hoka’s most ambitious and impressive trail-racing shoe yet. The new and improved midsole make it bouncier and faster than past models, and it’s one of the best trail running shoes you can get for long races in particular.
There are downsides to the updated design, with the Tecton X3 being less stable than the Tecton X2, and it’s also considerably more expensive than both the Tecton X2 and most trail shoes in general. It does offer something special for the price, but there are better value options even if you want a trail super-shoe, like the Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra.
