Advice for Road Runners: The HOKA Men's Clifton 9 Running Shoes in the Midnight/Oceanic colourway offer a light and versatile feel for daily miles. 

Underfoot Feel

The HOKA Clifton 9 Running Shoes feature a compression moulded EVA foam. This lightweight material offers a balanced feel between responsiveness and softness. As a result, it should feel comfortable across a range of paces.

The curved heel to toe MetaRocker™ geometry should roll your feet forward. This is likely to smooth out the transitions from landing to take-off.

As the sides of the midsole rise up around your feet, the cushioning should feel relatively supportive.

Upper Fit

Even though the upper of HOKA Clifton 9 Running Shoes offers support, it feels very light and breathable. Padding around the heel collar and tongue help improve comfort.

The tapered back design at the heel makes it easier to slip your feet in and out of the shoes.

Ideal Run Type

The HOKA Men's Clifton 9 Running Shoes should feel comfortable at slower speeds, and more responsive at steadier efforts. This makes them great daily mileage running shoes for your aerobic runs.

If you're looking for maximum protection for slower paced runs and long distances, you may want to consider the HOKA Bondi 8 Running Shoes. This is because they offer more cushioning than the Clifton.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
