The HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 is expertly designed for urban runners who prioritize a superior blend of cushioning and lightweight performance. This ninth iteration significantly refines the Clifton experience, offering a lighter feel and increased stack height for an exceptionally responsive ride. While optimized for daily road runs and walks, its specialized design means it excels on paved surfaces rather than rugged trails.
