A cushioned ride, rain or shine.
Empowering runners to log their miles – no matter the weather – the Hoka classic, the Hoka Men's Clifton 9 GTX, has been updated with GORE-TEX Invisible Fit and weather-ready traction pods. HOKA’s first-ever weatherproof road shoe, this splash-ready silhouette features 360-degree reflectivity and closed mesh construction for added protection. Designed to shine, even when the weather doesn’t, the Clifton 9 GTX proves no forecast is too fierce.
Purchased these shoes for winter running on dry pavement. Love the cushioning over the typical winter running “trail” shoes that I have been using. This is my first pair of Hoka’s so I’m looking forward to see how they wear down over the coming kilometres.
I don't have many miles on them yet (thanks knee!!!) but so far I like them a lot. I ran in Hoka's some years ago, when they first came out, but at that point they seemed a bit 'lets just put lots of padding in them' without worrying about all the other things shoes need to worry about (traction, stability, uppers, fit, etc etc). But these are both padded and well designed.
