{"reviews":[{"id":7482377,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Faster (and more comfortable) than any Nike head to head!","text":"Love these spikes! I did a head to head test running 400m intervals in these Hoka Cielo FlyX, the Nike Victory 2s (the Olympic gold mile shoes), and Dragonfly 2 Elites. I did 400m intervals at threshold (8-9/10 in perceived effort),\nRunning 2x400s with each spike. For perspective, I'm a decent distance runner in my mid-40s who is training for a fast 5k and incorporated this test into one of my workouts. I'm NOT a competitive HS or College athlete and I'm definitely not \"FAST.\"\nThe Vic 2s were the second fastest and were MUCH less stable (the heel and forefoot felt totally disconnected… because the sole is basically not connected in the middle). The DF2Es felt much more stable/comfortable but not as fast as the Vic 2s. The Hokas, however, felt more like a really firm/fast super shoe than a spike. They had the most cushion, but also the most bounce and pop. They were also the fastest, even in a 400. Lap times were 1:13/1:16 in the Vic2s, 1:22/1:21 in the DF2Es, and 1:15/1:10 for the Hokas. And the Hokas were the last of the three I tested when I was most fatigued. This is just one guys subjective results, but I know which spikes I will be rocking at upcoming track events\n\nPS- also ran a 2:25 800 in these a few days after this test which is my old guy PR by almost 5 seconds.","textLength":1292,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":7,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Nate","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Vacaville, CA","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-04-18T00:00:00-04:00","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":"16962-1151990","title":"HOKA Cielo FlyX Cross Country Running Spikes","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/16962-1151990","category":"cleats","reviewCount":4,"ratingCount":4,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7482379,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Great track shoes!","text":"I have not had a set of spikes for a long time. I have been focused on distance/road running for several decades. Recently started doing structured track workouts. Even for these used road shoes. However, several were using spikes. I wanted the speed, traction and lightweight of spikes but also at leas some of the cushion of the road shoes. I researched quite a few brands and Cielo FlyX got great reviews in all of these categories—well deserved, they are superb in all counts!! My first outing was a set of 8x600 at fairly hard pace. Super comfortable, great feel, plenty of spring, light but that bit of cushion that is good for the feet, ankles and joints. These are them, don't look further if want either short or longer distance spikes.","textLength":745,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":5,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Jamie","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Chicago","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-05-30T00:00:00-04:00","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":"16962-1151990","title":"HOKA Cielo FlyX Cross Country Running Spikes","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/16962-1151990","category":"cleats","reviewCount":4,"ratingCount":4,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7482378,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"I would buy this product again.","text":"It felt very good on the feet.","textLength":30,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":1,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Jacob","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Mexico","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-04-22T00:00:00-04:00","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":"16962-1151990","title":"HOKA Cielo FlyX Cross Country Running Spikes","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/16962-1151990","category":"cleats","reviewCount":4,"ratingCount":4,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7482376,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Cushion that doesn't forsake speed","text":"So I'll start with getting the shoe on which is the only \"negative\" about the shoe and I say negative with quotes because the shoe fits like a sock when on, but it can take a bit to get them on especially if you tighten your shoes a lot like I do. Next, just doing drills and strides for a workout there is a noticeable difference between these and Dragonflys which I have 2 pairs of and have worn for 2 years. The FLYX is more comfy, more cushioned, has great grip, and is just as fast and smooth. My first workout in these was a steeple pyramid workout (800, 1k,1200, 1k, 800) over barriers at the NAIA A standard qualifying pace. It was the best I've ever felt over barriers and the shoes were super soft when landing, fast, and supportive. Definitely will but these again once I need a new pair. Never been as pleased with a shoe/spike before.","textLength":847,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":21,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Ty","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Santa Claria, CT","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","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":"16962-1151990","title":"HOKA Cielo FlyX Cross Country Running Spikes","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/16962-1151990","category":"cleats","reviewCount":4,"ratingCount":4,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]}],"offset":0,"limit":10,"total":4}
