I got these based on your review and BITR but I saw yours first. After 2 runs I would place these in my top shoes of all time. I find the upper to be exceptionally comfortable for a super shoe. I'm coming from the Strungs and the Endorrphins. They have a great lockdown while also having a lot of room in the toebox. The laces were just as you said. Once you get used to them you quickly appreciate them.The ride is forward rolling and just makes running easier. I have suffered no side tipping. My sizing was US 10.5 in these and the Endorphins but 10 in the Strungs. These may supplant the Strung 1 as a new go to shoe. I'm glad I took your advice. Thanks!
@EDDBUD6 ай бұрын
Yeah the laces got a raw deal from some!
@SuboptimalRunner6 ай бұрын
I purchased my pair the day they were released and I have to say I love them possibly more than any other super shoe I've worn. I've logged about 30 miles in them and think they are usable at almost any pace, are fun to wear, and have the most comfortable upper and fit of any plated shoe. I've purchased far more plated shoes than I'm willing to admit and have always viewed them more as a tool for a specific purpose, not something to necessarily be enjoyed. But the Cielo X1 has changed that for me and I actually look forward to wearing them. And I couldn't agree more, the echo chamber about the laces is pretty comical. Once they're tied and on your feet, I have literally not thought about them once other than the fleeting notion that I appreciate that they don't stretch and change the feel of the shoe. Excellent video yet again, Mr. Bud! And I'll echo other's appreciation for your heartfelt words about Kelvin Kiptum...gone far too soon.

@stefanierunz6 ай бұрын
Saaaame! I double knotted my laces like I always do, and it was completely fine. The shoes were so comfortable, I don’t just want to race in them I want to train in them. I have one foot wider than the other, which usually gives me issues in shoes with a race day fit. These were spacious and comfy on both feet.

I figured this would be 350g for me in a UK 13 so hard pass even with an everyday influencer code. Speaking of which seems odd you have to buy so many shoes when lot smaller channels get all sorts. Still we come here whatever for a well informed view. Didn’t like the sound of the wide fit either. Says he still out in his nice & narrow 5 year old and 100g lighter Vaporfly 1. And yeah an actual 40mm for me might be confused with a racing flat :) Good to hear the laces well can be laced as it were.

@@EDDBUD Yeah, I don't find the Prime X all that unstable either, especially since I've been running in them for a couple years. I'm very mindful when I'm running in them though and just am a bit more aware of pavement imperfections that might trip me up (roads in Boston are horrible). That being said, I am looking for a replacement as at some point I won't be able to get the OG Prime X anymore and your review came at the perfect time! I literally went out at lunch and picked up a pair. Hoping they work out (it snowed here today so gotta wait a day or two to try then outside). Initial fit is quite good, even for my narrow foot. Very pronounced rocker, which I like. Similar cushion to the Prime X, at least waling around in my living room.

Wish they had connected that heel collar padding to help heel lift people. Also think they need to bring that weight down if they wanna market this as a top end marathon racer.

Literally the heaviest 40mm race legal shoe. I am very highly likely to pass over this one although there are a few good design ideas implemented by this shoe. They need to lose a lot of weight in the next version, or they could position it as a training shoe but then they would need to add a bit more durable rubber under the foam like Prime X. I have Prime X Strung OG so Cielo X1 is a pass for me. RIP Kiptum. He made a big impact to the sport in such a short time. We can only speculate what more he could have done 😥

This is definitely my current top choice for an April marathon, and I had the Alphafly 3 (which I sold to a friend when they caused major rubbing issues for me). The upper is just so much more comfortable and the rocker is amazing for longer efforts. I personally don't find the weight to be a big issue, I'm not exactly running at elite level speeds for 26 miles!
