HOKA Clifton

HOKA Clifton 11 A deep, protective layer of foam, 43 mm under the heel, in a shoe that still weighs about 9.2 oz in a men's size, which makes long, slow runs kind to tired legs. The fit is roomy with good volume in the toe box, and the cushioning feels medium-to-firm rather than marshmallow-soft. It also works well as a walking shoe on rest days. This version adds a shorter heel tab, an updated upper and reworked top eyelets for a better hold on the foot. Drop is 8 mm; list price $155.
