Hoka Clifton 11
The newest Clifton keeps the tall, soft EVA platform and 8mm drop of the Clifton 10 with a refined upper and small weight savings. It remains the definition of an easy-day cruiser: cushioned, rockered, and unfussy. Runners wanting pop or ground feel should look elsewhere in the lineup.
Reach for the Hoka Clifton 11 for everyday training miles and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
