Hoka one one clifton 6 womens update#
It is a workhorse trainer update that makes mild, but important changes that make it worth getting the new version. In terms of running experience besides the "pop," it operates on a balanced rocker that doesn't have a propulsive nature. For me, the amount of pop felt in this shoe was most similar to the Novablast 3 (my favorite trainer of 2022), but less aggressive of a rocker and a bit heavier given the thicker upper and rubber. Though early, this is one of my favorite daily trainers of 2023 and late 2022. After checking out the tech sheet, this pop comes from the update to the EVA midsole to improve some resilience of the foam. That little extra pop was consistent on other training runs and my 13-mile run with a fast finish. Even on that first recovery run, I could feel the pop from the midsole and the shoe felt fun to run in. The Clifton 9 actually felt like it had some life to it. Not even a half mile in I audibly said to my running partner, "this Clifton feels different." I was used to a very flat, yet rockered feeling that Cliftons have been producing. Nathan: Before running in this shoe for the first time I did not have any of the specs or information about the update, so I just went out "blind". Those that like a neutral shoe with decent cushioning and a rocker Like a well-cushioned neutral shoe without any major bells or whistles. The traction underfoot is decentĪnd I can take this in runnable trail and grass as well. This seems to firm up the ride a tad and make theĬushioning feel nearly identical with the 8. The outsole seems to be a touch thicker than I Most of the length of the shoe and I feel it does a pretty good job of The shoe still uses aīalanced rocker profile throughout. The shoe does seem to have a little moreīounce than previous Clifton's I have tried. I will say that though it is slight, there a noticeable change in feeling. The foam is still EVA-based but hasīeen dialed in for a little more resilience.
The shoe does have 2 more millimeters of foam Hoka Clifton 9 still feels like a Clifton, though it does have some On shorter or longer runs, the upper never got in the way, which is what I look for in a daily trainer. The padding in the heel and tongue kept the foot secure and I did not have any irritation or slipping. The upper is moderately thick but has some mild stretch, which will make it durable and keep it secure. I also did not notice any abrasion to the arch area, which is different than my experiences in previous Clifton models. I have personally been sensitive to narrow shoes in the last 6 months, and I did not have any problems with this shoe. However, compared to other models from HOKA like the Rincon or Mach (or even previous Cliftons), there seems to be just a bit more volume throughout, allowing it to accommodate well. By this I mean overall more narrow in the forefoot and maintaining that narrow-leaning fit back to the heel. Nathan: The HOKA Clifton 9 fits true to size with an overall fit consistent with most HOKA models. Midfoot, though I did not develop any irritation because of it. This created a little bit of pressure on my lateral The only thing I really noticed was that the heel counterĮxtended further laterally and got pulled a little bit when lacing the Though it is padded and provided no irritation for me.
There is a relatively stiff heel counter present, Width in the heel, midfoot, and forefoot I would classify as Itself also feels a little more resilient and does not have quite as The midfoot was moreįorgiving and I felt the upper wrapped my foot better. Midfoot as previous Hoka Clifton's I have worn.
Right off of the bat is that the upper is not as snug through the Hoka Clifton 9 fits true to size in my Men's 9.5. SIMILAR SHOES: Saucony Ride 15, ASICS Nimbus 24, ASICS Novablast 3 The overall feel is similar to the previousĬliftons, but with a skosh more responsiveness and comfort with instep. The upper is more accommodatingĪnd less narrow through the midfoot and the midsole is updated to give Shoe still provides the max cushion and lightweight feel of its Hoka Clifton is a neutral daily training shoe with a rockered ride.
