Hoka Clifton 9 are great running shoes to tackle a wide spectrum of your running and walking needs. Hoka Clifton 9 is cushioned enough for easy running and walking while being light and smooth enough to pick up the pace for light workouts and longer runs. The early-stage Meta-Rocker is the ingredient that ties everything together at it provides stability to the light and cushy foam to roll your feet from one step to the next no matter how you land in your stride.
When Hoka first launched the Clifton, they changed the perception of how soft and light running shoes could be. In the generations since to the current Hoka Clifton 9, these shoes have continued to improve. The ride, fit, and looks have gotten better, but the spirit unbelievably soft and light running shoes of the original is the same. If running on a light pillowy cloud of foam is your goal, we suggest you try these out.
The Hoka Clifton 9 has a range of subtle improvements from the Clifton 8. The foam compound is lighter, softer, and more responsive. The geometry is a touch wider and the flex grooves in the bottom unit have been carefully tweaked to make sure the ride stays stable and faster running is still a joy with the foam change.
