The i-Run team says
Improved, the Hoka One One Tecton X 3 shoe for men offers essential technology for your trail competitions.
Tecton X 3, for which type of athlete, what use, what distance, and surface?
Focused on speed, it is recommended for experienced athletes seeking performance. It is suitable for competitions of all distances, even for your ultra challenges.
Its Vibram sole ensures perfect grip on a variety of terrains, wet or dry.
Tecton X 3, what usage?
+ You benefit from unprecedented sensations thanks to its ultra-stable carbon fiber plates and improved traction. This allows you to tackle your speed challenges across all trail distances.
- If you wish to embark on an ultra without the demands of a carbon fiber plate, we recommend the Hoka One One Speedgoat.
Why choose the Tecton X 3?
Among its various advantages, you will appreciate:
- Its impressive propulsion power.
- Its flawless stability for accelerating confidently.
- Its quick-drying upper to prevent overheating.
- Its ideal protection against obstacles.
- Its effective and versatile traction.
Tecton X 3, what?s new?
Compared to the previous model, the Tecton X 2, we observe:
- The addition of stability fins on the parallel carbon fiber plates.
- A brand new upper with a precise lacing system and an integrated gaiter.
- A new Vibram Megagrip Litebase rubber on the outsole and a revised lug design.
Features of the Tecton X 3 shoe
- Drop: 5 mm
- Cushioning: Composed of a dual-density PEBA foam, the midsole is designed to be soft and effective at absorbing shocks. Its ingenious geometry promotes smooth strides to enhance agility. The parallel carbon fiber plates have lateral fins to increase stability and promise powerful propulsion.
- Upper (the top part that encloses your foot): Durable Matryx fibers ensure maximum durability while its lacing system allows for a customized fit. Its high knitted collar acts as a gaiter to limit debris entry, while the dynamic design of the whole allows your foot to spread for more comfort over the kilometers.
- Outsole: The new shape of the lugs improves traction to enhance efficiency on loose surfaces. Strategically placed, the Vibram rubber offers perfect grip on a wide variety of surfaces.

Technologies
-
Meta-Rocker
The Meta-Rocker midsole geometry, specifically designed with a low heel-to-toe drop and a sculpted outsole radius at the heel and toes, creates a unique pivot point effect that promotes a guided gait cycle.

Matryx
Patented technology incorporating Kevlar threads to optimize foot support in strategic areas.

Vibram Litebase Megagrip
Vibram Litebase Megagrip is an innovative technology designed to significantly reduce the weight of the sole by decreasing the thickness of the rubber, while maintaining the same performance.
Vibram Litebase Megagrip allows for a reduction of about 40 to 50% in thickness, from 1.7 mm to 0.5 / 0.9 mm, depending on the type of sole, resulting in a reduction in tread weight of 25 to 30%.
This reduction in thickness does not affect the performance of the sole nor the risk of laceration. The result is a very lightweight sole with patterns identical to those of a traditional Vibram Megagrip sole, and thus with the same characteristics of traction, durability, and wear resistance.

Vibram Traction Lug
Vibram Traction Lug is a new innovative design concept that focuses on the key element of traction ? the shape of the lug. Vibram Traction Lug enhances grip, adds stability, and increases the contact area.
