Advice for Road Runners: The hugely popular HOKA Women's Clifton 9 Running Shoes in the Black/White colourway have benefitted from some fantastic updates which elevate the performance of this model even further!

Underfoot Feel

The shoe features a new midsole with an extra 3mm of cushioning and raised sidewalls. The soft and lively CMEVA midsole foam delivers more responsiveness than in previous versions of the shoe. It also adds a snappier feel when running more quickly. However, this is not at the expense of the smooth transitional feel delivered by HOKA’s trademark Meta Rocker technology. The updated Durabrasion rubber outsole also improves durability.

Upper Fit

The stripped-back engineered knit upper saves weight and increases breathability. A revised semi-gusseted tongue provides a secure and comfortable fit. Additional padding around the heel collar enhances support and comfort.

Ideal Run Type

The HOKA Women's Clifton 9 Running Shoes are cushioned and surprisingly responsive and are ideal for easy or steady runs. Offering cushioned comfort and a balanced ride for runners running at easier to steady paces, they also reduce stress on the lower legs. For runners with wider feet, the Clifton 9 is also available in a wide fit. 

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.
