Men's HOKA Tecton X 4

Fly Through Technical Terrain in This High-Performance Plated Trail Racer

HOKA’s pinnacle trail racing shoe, the Tecton X 4, is back with even more trail-focused upgrades to help you take on the most rugged terrain and chase course records.

A low-profile Profly X midsole uses a dual layer of PEBA foam for maximum responsiveness while keeping you stable and connected to the ground on uneven trails. Unique parallel carbon fiber plates within this midsole construction help drive you forward, while a speed-focused Metarocker design seamlessly guides you through the gait cycle.

The upper is also speed- and performance-focused, using a Matryx Micro textile material and extended knit collar for enhanced security and lockdown. This lightweight material keeps debris out, while a protective foam tongue pod improves all-around comfort and protection throughout any trail adventure or ultra-marathon.

While the foam and midsole keep the shoe feeling fast and light, the Vibram outsole ensures you don’t have to worry about grip and traction. The Megagrip Litebase outsole with Traction Lugs bites into the ground, keeping you safe, confident, and secure on nearly any trail surface. With 4 mm lugs and an all-around protective design, you’ll feel ready to handle whatever your next trail race throws at you.
