HOKA  Clifton 11 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

Hoka Cliftons have been one of my go to shoes for years. They have only gotten better over time. Super comfortable and huge amounts of cushioning. Lightweight shoes and perfect sizing and toe box. The Clifton’s for when you need a little support and the bondi for when you want max cushioning. The shoes could be a little more breathable but they aren’t hot at all. Would highly recommend these shoes these may have been given to me as a try out promotion but if you check my closet there are three other pairs of these same shoes in there for a reason….

These are a great shoe once I got used to them. These are the first shoes I’ve worn with this thick of cushion. The first run required some concentration in how I struck my foot. I am a midfoot striker and it took some time to adjust to the thicker sole. After a couple runs, I really started to enjoy them. They’re very light weight overall. I feel like the fabric on the upper will last longer than the foam in these shoes. Pics show after 12 miles of use. The minimal rubber on the bottom keeps them light but means they’ll need to be replaced more often. Hoka post guidelines on when to replace a shoe not mileage, so we shall see what the longevity is. The toe box is a bit wider than the shoes I normally wear, I found that tightening the bottom laces greatly improved my comfort. Great support as expected, and starting to conform to my foot.

I have heard these were comfortable but I wasn’t expecting it to be my favorites already! The feedback from heels to toes is better than my other shoes. I did 5 miles in these and it was way easier on my feet than my other shoes have felt.

I have loved walking/running in my zero drop Altras for many years but wanted to transition to a more "comfortable" feel without sacrificing function. The new HOKA Clifton are like walking on air and at the age of 80, I believe will enhance my road running enjoyment for years to come.

These shoes are so comfortable. I walk around all day in them and my feet feel amazing. I feel a nice bounce in my step and it makes walking around the city and commuting on foot an enjoyable experience. I do feel like durability may be an issue and don't expect these to last a year.

They're Clifton 11's, another comfortable training shoe to wear out. Maybe my 7th pair of Hoka, I have no hesitation getting another.

I have been running with these shoes for about a week now. Miles are right about 25-30. Very comfortable shoe, fits well, good response. Using these as a training shoe for a marathon. The folks at REI were super helpful in choosing this shoe.
