Product Description
LIGHT AND PLUSH FOR EVERYDAY MILES
A trusted trainer for daily maintenance miles, the Clifton has been the keystone of Hoka's cushioned styles for 10 years and counting. Ushering in a new era of plush performance, this next-generation update delivers a revitalized underfoot experience with an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop. Delivering the same ultralight cushioning that made the Clifton a fan favorite, Hoka has fine-tuned the fit and added a breathable jacquard upper with double-lace lock to mitigate tongue migration.
Absolutely love these shoes, especially the increased drop! Helps keep my ankles happy on long runs. The men's sizing is the perfect width for my feet (typically a size 10 women's)

Love them. I’ve been wearing Clifton’s for past 5 yrs. Each model has subtle changes that keep making this shoe better and better

Love these shoes!
I wasn’t sure about these but I am really liking the cushioning. Would most definitely purchase another pair.

Hoka’s feel great
I’m enjoying the shock absorption for my knees as I build up distance again post injury.
