Hoka Clifton Pro
A premium, unplated take on the Clifton built on ProGlide+ supercritical EVA with a more aggressive MetaRocker, giving smoother and noticeably bouncier transitions than the standard Clifton 11 for $10 more. Best as a plush daily cruiser and easy long-run shoe. It is heavier than the Clifton 11 and has no place in speed work.
Reach for the Hoka Clifton Pro for everyday training miles, long runs 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.
- Bouncier supercritical foam than standard Clifton
