#Answer The Carbon X carbon plate has always been C-shaped, designed to enhance the sole’s curvature for a smoother roll and more fluid stride.

What they mean by the carbon plate being lower in the
Hoka Carbon X3 is that the carbon plate is positioned lower than in the previous model. To put it more clearly, the foam configuration remains the same, but the top layer of foam is 2 mm thicker (which cannot be seen from the outside), making the carbon plate 2 mm further from the foot.

(Thank you again to the OUTRUN page for the information!) Now that I know, I can rest easy and sleep soundly. After wondering about it for a while, it all makes sense now!
