Product Review: Hoka Clifton 9 Road Running Shoe.


Hoka Clifton 9 Road Running Shoes available at Run & Ride

The ninth iteration of the award-winning Hoka Clifton franchise has launched, lighter and more cushioned than ever before. It's a fantastic road running shoe that offers an impressive combination of comfort, durability, and performance.


Eliminating weight while adding 3mm in stack height, the new Clifton 9 delivers a revitalised underfoot experience with a responsive new foam and improved outsole design. Removing overlays and hotmelts, the stripped back upper has been consciously crafted with a plusher heel, reflective heel panel, and streamlined tongue with single side medial gusset.

The Clifton 9 stands out from the rest with its cushioning system. It features Hoka's signature midsole design, which provides a plush and comfortable ride without sacrificing responsiveness. It's impact absorption makes it an ideal shoe for long-distance runs, but it's still lightweight enough for faster workouts and races.


The upper of the Clifton 9 is made from a breathable mesh material that keeps your feet cool and comfortable, even on hot days. The upper also fits snugly without feeling constricting, which is great for runners who need a little extra support in their shoes.


At an RRP of £130 it's pricing is pretty standard these days. At Run & Ride we are always working hard to be as competitive as possible; we currently have this model at £115.49 inc free P&P so it's a worthwhile investment for serious runners.


In conclusion, the Hoka Clifton 9 road running shoe is an excellent choice for runners who are looking for a comfortable and responsive shoe for training and racing. With its cushioning system, breathable upper, and durable construction, it's a versatile shoe that can handle a variety of different running conditions.
