Is the Rocket X 3 worth it at $169.98?

Yes, if you race on roads. That price is well under the $250 launch price and among the lowest it has sold for, and the shoe delivers real carbon-plate speed.

How does it compare with the Rocket X 2?

The Rocket X 3 is lighter and has a revised upper and foam. The ride stays firm and race-focused, so it is an upgrade mainly for racers who wanted less weight.

Can I use it for daily training?

It works for tempo runs, but the firm plate and thin outsole make it a poor choice for most easy miles. Save it for workouts and race day.

It runs true to length with a snug, race-style fit. Runners with wide feet should consider going up a half size or trying it on first.

Is it good for overpronators?

No. It is a neutral racing shoe with limited stability, so runners who need motion control should look at a support trainer instead.

Carbon-plated racers usually drop after major marathon seasons and when a new model nears. The current $169.98 at ShopSimon is already near its recent low.
