HOKA Clifton 9

The HOKA Clifton 9 is the shoe that made max cushioning mainstream. Despite its thick, pillowy midsole, it weighs just 8.9 oz — lighter than many traditional trainers. The compression-molded EVA foam is soft without being unstable, and HOKA's signature meta-rocker geometry creates a rolling sensation that propels you forward. The breathable engineered mesh upper and early-stage Meta-Rocker make every run feel easier than it should.
