The Hoka Clifton 8 is a light and cushioning high-mileage training shoe. This shoe is for the runner who is looking for a versatile shoe for both short and longer runs.
Clifton 8 delivers a perfect combination of minimal weight and superb cushioning which makes it into a favorite among many runners.
The upper is designed in breathable mesh contributing to keeping your feet ventilated on your runs. Small changes have been made compared to the previous model to make it even more comfortable.
In general the Clifton 8 is very similar to the predecessor, Clifton 7. The most noticable difference is that the midsole has become a bit more responsive but you still get the same high level of comfort. The midsole is made up from supportive and not least cushioning EVA-foam in the entire length of the shoe providing a really comfortable feeling. In addition Hokas recognized Meta-Rocker technology takes part in providing a rounded shape of the sole which complements your gait and assists your propulsion.
Hokas Active Foot Frame also contributes to the shoe wrapping itself firmly around your foot to provide excellent support on your runs. This is due to the fact that your heel and foot is actually placed in the midsole instead of on top of it thanks to the design of the Active Foot Frame.
Clifton 8 has been equipped with Hoka's durable ”High-abrasion rubber”, which is a rubber compound providing a great grip and durability.
