Hoka Tecton X 4 Men's Trail Running Shoes Black/Neon Green

The HOKA Tecton X 4 is a performance-focused trail racing shoe designed to combine efficient propulsion, precise grip and a secure feel over technical terrain. Its PROFLY™ X midsole uses two layers of lightweight, resilient PEBA foam alongside parallel carbon plates, with the plate structure refined to provide a smoother, more efficient push through the gait cycle. A speed-focused MetaRocker™ complements the setup, while the low-profile cushioning keeps the foot closer to the ground for a responsive and controlled ride.

Up top, the updated Matryx® Micro textile upper provides improved breathability, including in wet conditions, while an extended knit collar helps prevent trail debris from entering the shoe. The revised lace structure also includes a marathon lacing option for additional lockdown and support over longer efforts. Underfoot, a Vibram® Megagrip Litebase outsole with Traction Lug provides dependable grip and precision without adding unnecessary bulk.

Built primarily for trail racing, the Tecton X 4 balances lightweight cushioning with a firmer, efficient feel rather than a soft or highly plush ride. Its neutral platform uses a symmetrical bed of cushioning without additional stability technologies, making it a strong option for runners looking for a fast, responsive trail shoe with secure footing on demanding courses.
