{"reviews":[{"id":7482629,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"[TLDR]: Such a solid running shoe","text":"Great performance overall!\n[I have 500 miles in this shoe, a daily runner. Did two marathon lengths with mile vertical gains as break-in runs. (SCT&GCR2R). Ordered W8 to closer fit with my size of foot in mm] \n\nCons: \nOutsole could be a little more puncture proof (swiping branches/stone), ankle covers received a ware hole after ~400mi. Material for uppers snags easily (immediate). \nTakes a while to get use to, some shocking and rubbing in first 50miles. \n\nPros: \nAnkle cover is amazing, no rocks or dirt stopping me. The shoe feels like a sock, breathable comfy upper. Lacing method forces you to lace correctly and comfortably. \nCarbon plates help protect my feet from sharp surfaces. \nPrefect cushioning blend (firm/plush). \nComfortable shoe, never have gotten blisters with the right socks. \nTough shoe in general (other than sole punctures and some snagging). \nVibram Cleats have never let me down. No real slipouts. \n\nI can tell they still have life and could get me to 750mi before replacing. \nI've had the tectonx1, it's a vast improvement. Excited to see the next version, x4's maybe?","textLength":1096,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Angelo","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"NM","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-09-06T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Hoka","siteUrl":"https://www.hoka.com/en/us/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1680_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"16962-1155114","title":"Women's HOKA Tecton X 3 Vibram Megagrip Trail Running Shoes","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/16962-1155114","category":"sneakers-athletic-shoes","reviewCount":7,"ratingCount":7,"averageRating":4.4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":2,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7482626,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"If You Loved the x2 you'll love the x3","text":"Same hybrid style grip (feel) since I typically run from the house to the trails and back. I overpronate and need to work on knee muscle alignment and these guys cushion and help on long runs so I am not so beat up mid-day for time with family and friends. Banged a nice twig mid shoe and no puncture; I notice a difference in forefoot material, more elastic than the x2, similar to the built in gaitor material. The only issue I can see is during long ultras potentially having a harder time getting the foot back into the shoe with the gaitor, but that's TBD. And probably manageable with a crew and similar to the s/lab shorter neck of a Salomon shoe. For x4 I would bump up the tread slightly for rougher terrain. Other than those minor tweaks, shoe is a game changer and the gaitor definitely keeps debris out, my second run in them I messed around in a sandy quarry for little bit.","textLength":887,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":4,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"UltraTay","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Kingston, MA","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-05-29T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Hoka","siteUrl":"https://www.hoka.com/en/us/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1680_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"16962-1155114","title":"Women's HOKA Tecton X 3 Vibram Megagrip Trail Running Shoes","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/16962-1155114","category":"sneakers-athletic-shoes","reviewCount":7,"ratingCount":7,"averageRating":4.4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":2,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7482625,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"All-around amazing!","text":"I plan to do some 50K - 50M trail races in this shoe and the 2 training runs I did in it, it performed beautifully!
