With an entirely-EVA midsole and RMAT outsole technology, the Clifton provides exceptional shock attenuation and inherent stability; despite have the classification and feel of a neutral shoe.
"The model provides a 4mm heel-to-toe drop to encourage a midfoot landing," noted Hoka One One Rep, Tony Grassi. "Meanwhile, the shoe's Early Stage Meta Rocker promotes a positive gait cycle."
This shoe should be compatible for training for all distances, including marathons and ultra-marathons.
Our Opinions on the Hoka Clifton
Curtis: "The Cliftons are way lighter than they look so they're a great option for race day. Take a few strides in the shoes and you will certainly feel the cushioning."
Dustin: "Traditionally, I wear stability shoes and I've had no problems with wearing Hoka models. The cushioning is the icing on the cake."
