This is my second pair of Hoka shoes, and what I love most is that after I lace them up and hit the road, I forget they're even on my feet. I'm a hairdresser with 22+ years experience, and I appreciate the cushioning after a long day on my feet.

I’m not fast. The Hoka stack is too high, but it’s cushy and soft and not too slow. The 4-5mm drop is nice.

A very solid shoe for putting on some training mileage. Bottoms wear out a little quicker than some other shoes but the Clifton is another very good Hoka product.

I wasn’t sure I wanted Hoka shoes but half a dozen pairs later they are my favorites!
