I tried three different styles of Hoka before I found this one that actually felt OK and thought I could work thru the initial discomfort. I am a 2 months in and doing about 15 miles a week of walking on hard surfaces with these shoes. Hoka Clifton 9: The Details. The signature component of Hoka’s Clifton 9 ’s is the use of the brand’s trademarked meta-rocker platform. Positioned in the midsole, the meta-rocker acts to “roll” the runner from one stride to the next, in a smooth, propelled motion. The Clifton 9 also features a bouncy stack of 36.7mm foam with a 5mm drop. Price: $115. Weight: 7.7 oz (M), 6.3 oz (W) Type: Road. Buy Men’s Buy Women’s. More Images. The Rincon is the best Hoka you can buy right now. Sure, there are other purpose-built and buzz The Clifton L Suede is a great version of the nylon mesh Hoka Clifton. I wear the Cliftons from spring to fall, but I wanted to get something that was warmer for the winter. This version is perfect for the cooler weather. I think it would be too warm for hot weather. It is a little bit heavier than a mesh Clifton, but that is to be expected as The Hoka One One Clifton 6 is the flagship Hoka One One running shoe for distance training. It features Hoka’s iconic cushioned midsole with even more bounce, a lighter upper that slides on prefectly, and plenty of room in the toe box for an uber-comfortable ride over long training miles. Check out all the details up close in the MultiSport The Clifton is one of Hoka One One’s classic road shoes. Since the release of the original Cliffton in 2014, this shoe has gained a lot of fans due to its cushioned yet lightweight ride. The new Clifton 6 has similar features to past models, but Hoka claims it’s got a “smoother ride” and an embroidered design on the upper for a more 6BTOs. The Hoka Rincon is lighter than the Clifton 6 and 7. The Rincon weighs in at 6.3 oz for women and 7.7 oz for men while the Clifton 6 weighs in at 7.4 oz for women and 9 oz for men. The Hoka Clifton 6 is softer than the Rincon and feels great every time you put it on no matter the run. The Hoka Rincon is firmer, faster, and cheaper. The heelcup locks down well and the padding around the ankle is comfortable. Hoka One One Clifton 5 Mesh – Closeup on the toebox upper material, here is where we see a lot of design changes. Hoka One One Clifton 5 Mesh – Heel upper, more changes here as well. The knit version of the Clifton 5 is a bit different. The HOKA Challenger ATR is a popular all-terrain shoe that’s designed for both road and trails. It has a cushioned midsole that provides a comfortable and stable ride, and a Vibram outsole that delivers excellent traction on a variety of surfaces. I love the cushion in this shoe, while it still doesn’t become to heavy. On the one hand, there are die-hard believers in the shoes’ maximalist, hyper-cushioned style. Yet there remains a vocal group of people still skeptical of the world-famous full-length EVA foam midsole. With the Clifton 7, the people at HOKA ONE ONE make no compromises. If you loved the Clifton 6, you’ll love the 7. The Clifton 7 runs $129. 5.0 out of 5 starsI highly recommend this product. Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018. I am a busy RN on a telemetry ward and work 12 hour shifts, walking an average of 4-5 miles/shift (per my Fitbit). These shoes are a blessing and were not even on my radar until suggested by my new podiatrist. For running enthusiasts, the annual Hoka One One Clifton release is widely anticipated as maximum comfort shoe-seeking athletes compare subtle changes from the prior year Clifton. To running outsiders, the Clifton’s outward appearing high soles (30mm heel stack) may seem off-putting or reserved for Dad’s long Sunday walks with Fido.
