The Skyward X are my favorite shoe of 2024. The rocker works really well with my forefoot strike and allows me to turn them over nicely. I agree that they’re less cushioned than I expected; however, the slightly firmer feel allows for more pace versatility.

I’m probably going to have to give it a follow up review after 100 miles or so. It’s just taking me awhile to unlock this shoe.
Cielo X1 is amazing. New Balance SC trainer V2 is terrible for me.. Superblast to hard for slow runs.. Don't have the Neo Vista yet 😂

Is the Cielo X1softer while running than the superblast ?
Not sure I’d want the Skyward X on my feet past about 6-7 miles personally. I’m still trying to decide if I need a Neo Vista. I love the SuperBlast for long runs and long workouts. Been using Skyward X for recovery runs and base runs but probably would not buy this again. Have also toyed with the idea a plated super trainer like the Magic Speed 4 when the marathon plan revs up and gets even spicier.

Yeah I think we’re of like mind. The Neo Vista might have some crossover between a comfy, creamy base run shoe and a super trainer that can handle some long runs and MP workouts. I just took it for 20 miles yesterday (with a social coffee break in the middle). It’s just an enjoyable run experience. I literally just stepped out of CRC Dilworth. They have it in there if you want to try it on.
Skyward-x is too much shoe for me, my personal limit is the Neo Vista and the Superblast

The Neo Vista is my favorite trainer of the year so far.
It would probably be better to test against the Superblast 2. The 1st edition is a year old already

A year and a half, actually. But I don’t have the Superblast 2. I have to work with what I have. Otherwise I would have compared with the SC Trainer v3.
Which has a later turnover, this or the superblast?

The Superblast as a quicker turnover.
