Whatever your running level, the HOKA Clifton 9 is the ideal neutral all-round shoe. This shoe can handle any pace you run, whether it's a moderate 5K run or a long run. Experience the perfect balance between cushioning and responsiveness with this all-round running shoe! Midsole To make your runs comfortable, HOKA has added a CMEVA midsole that provides plenty of cushioning and effective protection while running. Because the transition zone is placed behind the metatarsals, the Early stage Meta-Rocker geometry contributes to a quick transition of the feet. With a smoother stride and a faster transition to the forefoot, you will feel more explosive. Upper A mesh upper makes the Clifton very breathable and comfortable to wear while running. The pleated tongue of this shoe is attached to the upper on both sides, so that no dirt can enter the shoe and the tongue remains centered. Outsole The durable Durabrasion rubber outsole with a coarse profile provides excellent grip on any surface. Zones of abrasion-resistant rubber have been added to the heel and forefoot for extra durability. Lace up your HOKA Clifton 9 shoes and prepare to push your limits!
