Why Hoka Skyward X is trending in 2026
The Hoka Skyward X has solidified its place as the premier "super trainer" for runners who demand high mileage without sacrificing the propulsive feel of a carbon plate. In 2026, its popularity remains unmatched due to the dual-layer PEBA foam and the convex carbon fiber plate that provides a forgiving yet energetic ride. Belgian runners are increasingly looking toward the North American market to source these shoes because the inventory levels in Europe often lag behind the rapid release cycles seen in the United States.
Check our guide on the current market trends: Read more: The Hoka Skyward X is simply more affordable for Belgian runners when sourced from the US. Many athletes find that the specific tech specs required for high-intensity marathon training are more readily available at a shop US store compared to local options in Brussels or Antwerp.
Securing US-exclusive widths and colorways
One of the primary frustrations for runners in Belgium is the limited availability of wide fit (D width) options. European stockists typically prioritize standard widths, leaving many runners with restricted choices. US retailers carry the full spectrum of sizes and exclusive colorways like the Solar Flare, which are rarely seen in the APAC or European regions.

The easiest way to buy from restricted stores
If you have ever tried to purchase high-demand sneakers from major US retailers, you know the frustration of seeing your order cancelled immediately. Many US-based online stores are notorious for blocking international credit cards or refusing to ship to addresses they flag as warehouses. This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential for a seamless experience.
Skip payment blocks with BuyForMe
Major US brands like Nike, Sephora, and even certain tech retailers like Apple often have strict filters that decline any transaction made with a non-US credit card. Even if you use a VPN, the billing address check will often trigger an automatic cancellation. The "BuyForMe" (Assisted Purchase) service is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled.
Under this service, comGateway acts as your local buyer. We use a US domestic credit card to purchase the Hoka Skyward X on your behalf. This eliminates the risk of store-side blocks and ensures that your shoes are secured during high-demand drops. This is the direct solution for Belgian shoppers who want to buy from US ship to Belgium without the technical headache of payment errors.
Simplifying the shipping process to Belgium
Once your order is placed, it is sent to a tax-free US address. This is a critical step because it allows you to avoid local state taxes within the US, reducing the initial purchase price before the item even leaves the country. From there, the parcel forwarding service takes over the logistics of getting the package to your doorstep in Belgium.

Costs and shipping rules
Before you ship, it is important to review the shipping rules to ensure that any additional accessories or cleaning products you buy with your shoes are permitted for international transit. Most running gear is perfectly fine, but some aerosol-based shoe cleaners may be listed as restricted goods.

Using a freight forwarder is the most efficient method to ship to Belgium while maintaining full visibility over your package's journey through a tracking number and professional handling.
