Hoka Clifton 9 Running Shoes
Prepared to go the distance? Get ready to discover the new HOKA Clifton 9, the ultimate pavement pounder delivering everyday miles. The all-new energetic pavement pounder has been innovatively designed to be the trainer you seek for everyday runs - delivering a smoother ride through every mile.
Engineered Mesh Upper
The Clifton 9 features a newly engineered, ultra-light mesh upper that is airy and smooth. The upper is seamless on the outside for a sleek look and clean silhouette and only has a few seams on the inside. The mesh wraps each foot in breathable comfort, allowing air to fully permeate the entire upper. Although lightweight, this mesh upper remains resilient enough for you to be able to put it through any workout. Furthermore, this construction provides a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air that resides within the shoes during intense activity. Additionally, the upper offers reinforced eyelets for durability when tightening the laces. This construction allows you to get a personalised fit as well as prevents any in-shoe slippage from occurring. When the laces are tightened the upper wraps around the top of the foot cradling it for additional comfort as well as providing a premium fit. The Clifton 9 features a flared heel collar and refined Achilles pull tab. The flared shape keeps the collar off the Achilles to mitigate any rubbing or chafing and also acts like a heel tab to easily remove the shoe. The heel cup employs an internal heel counter for a secure fit and extra padding around the collar to boost comfort, a reflective heel panel ensures visibility whilst the new streamlined tongue provides a lighter ride.
EVA Midsole
Early-stage Meta-Rocker geometry is applied in the midsole to increase running efficiency. Meta-Rocker midsole geometry is specifically designed with a low heel-toe differential and a sculpted outsole to create a unique fulcrum effect, like a rocking chair to encourage a guided gait cycle. This design supports a runner's natural form while promoting an efficient, smooth roll from initial impact to toe-off. In the Clifton 9, the transition zone is placed behind the metatarsal heads; this helps create a smoother ride and a faster transition to the forefoot. A full-length platform of new and improved EVA resides underfoot for lightweight, responsive cushioning. Generous, soft, and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces whilst adding an energetic response with each step. A moderate heel bevel helps to promote a smooth heel-to-toe transition; it enhances ground contact and unites with flat-waisted geometry to stabilise and support every stride.
Durabrasion Outsole
A grippy outsole with a full ground contact design completes the Clifton 9. Strategic high-abrasion rubber zones adorn this; increasing the shoe's durability, reducing its weight, and employing an updated lug pattern to supply enhanced traction on every road surface. Choose the Clifton 9, for updated speed, cushion, and comfort. Lastly, a wider base provides added stability on your run.

RACE READY RANGE
The race range offers a variety of shoes built for the more elite runner looking for a fast race day shoe across a range of distances.
Please note: Race shoes are not ideal for all runners and the time savings that can be had from wearing them can be offset by the lack of cushioning or support they may offer. For example, someone running a 4-hour+ marathon will likely be more comfortable wearing their everyday mileage shoes. Also, race shoes, if used for everyday training, can be less durable and wear out faster.
