User Review Summary

The Xtep 160X 8.0 (August 2026) is the carbon marathon racing shoe of the Xtep 160X line, with a supercritical foam midsole and full-length carbon plate, Xtep's representative racing shoe that pursues speed and results. An Xtepoam supercritical foam midsole with a full-length carbon plate delivers generous energy return and strong forward propulsion; the plate extends to the medial heel to reinforce stability, balancing propulsion and support for steady marathon pacing. A 32mm forefoot / 40mm heel stack with an 8mm drop is a standard racing setup favoring midfoot striking and quick rolling. The lightweight breathable engineered mesh upper fits snugly. The durable rubber outsole ensures racing grip. At about 225g and NT$4,600, it's a carbon marathon racer for advanced runners doing races and speed training.
