Womens Clifton 9 – Gull/Sea Ice

Along with the Bondi, the Clifton is one of the most recognisable names in the entire HOKA catalogue. The award-winning everyday runner has been refined for its ninth iteration which is lighter and more cushioned than ever.

The new Clifton manages to squeeze an extra 2mm of stack height whilst reducing weight by 4 grams. Sure that’s a marginal saving but considering you’re getting more cushioning for less weight, that’s pretty impressive.

A lot of the weight saving comes via the revised upper, which removes overlays and hotmelts to cut grams. The stripped-back upper has been crafted with a plusher heel, reflective heel panel, and streamlined tongue with single side medial gusset.
