How it ranks
The HOKA Skyflow trails most daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and looks are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating is based on 10 runner reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Stiff in a say that does not feel helpful. Hugs my feet in weird places. Only use them for walking and when I go to put them on I feel reluctant. The b&w colorway looks fantastic. I am totally disappointed with this shoe.

20 mpw training for a marathon came from the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v14

The clifton is a heavy, shoe, lets face it. It also is only cushioned for heavier runners. The skyflow is like the fit version of the clifton. It sheds weight and is considerably more responsive and comfortable. The shoe is well padded, the cushioning feels great and it has better lockdown, not quite as wide as the typical clifton, more like the average width for running shoes.

nice shoe that helped me with some knee tendinitis. I'm 56 and try to run around 30 miles a week but knee gets creaky if i push the mileage too much. the skyflow is a little more bulky than the clifton but still somewhat snappy and helped my knee pain go away. Good everyday trainer for an old guy like me still trying to get after it.
