Disruptive performance for everyday (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 cushion: Designed to provide protective cushion while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster
Updates:
Eliminating 10 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
Active foot frame cradles the heel and plants your foot firmly into the midsole
Early stage Meta-Rocker 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
