Men's Clifton 9

Disruptive performance for every day (s)miles. The ninth iteration of Hoka's award-winning Clifton franchise has launched, lighter and more cushioned than ever before.

Features:

• Best for road running, from short to long distances
• Neutral stability: A symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't
  
• Balanced cushioning: Designed to provide protective cushion while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster
• Updates:
• Eliminating 4 g in weight
• Added 3mm in stack height - The higher the stack height, the softer the shoe will feel
  
• Lighter and more responsive foam for an enhanced underfoot experience - Compression moulded EVA foam midsole provides support, comfort, and maximum shock absorption, allowing your feet to bounce back from all kinds of different terrain
  
• Improved outsole design
• Removing overlays and hotmelts removed for a stripped back upper
• Plusher heel - Extended heel crash pad which provides shock absorption and a smooth transition from heel to toe
  
• Reflective heel panel
• Streamlined tongue with single side medial gusset to mitigate tongue migration
• Breathable engineered knit upper delivers lightweight, foot-hugging comfort
• Active foot frame cradles the heel and plants your foot firmly into the midsole
  
• Early stage MetaRocker provides a smooth ride - Curvature at the heel and forefoot built into the mid and outsole of the shoe, near the metatarsle joints of the feet. This reduces the height difference between the heel and the toe, complementing the natural stride and propelling you forward
  
• Durabrasion rubber outsole extends rubber longevity
• Inherently stable geometry
• Padded tongue for additional comfort
• Rear pull tab for easier entry
• Recycled materials
• Vegan
• Weight: 248 g
• Heel-to-toe drop: 5 mm
