A Keystone HOKA Model for Everyday Wear, Now With Some Premium Upgrades
With a smooth, effortless ride and lots of cushioning, it’s easy to understand how the Clifton has earned its reputation as one of HOKA’s softest, most dependable trainers. The 11th iteration maintains much of what made the Clifton such a fan favorite, all while adding some minor tweaks and adjustments for maximum comfort.
HOKA kept the midsole essentially the same from the previous iteration, using a high stack of compression-molded EVA foam for soft, cushy landings. Paired with a smooth MetaRocker geometry, this midsole guides you effortlessly through each and every stride.
While the midsole is all about soft and luxurious cushioning, the Clifton 11 keeps you feeling secure and stable due to the Active Foot Frame technology. The raised sidewalls cradle the feet, preventing any excess sliding or movement.
The midsole and geometry didn’t change too much, but HOKA did make some key upgrades to the upper. It’s now made from an enhanced engineered mesh that increases the overall softness and breathability. There’s also a new open-cell sockliner that adds an extra layer of soft cushioning underfoot.
Last but not least, the Clifton 11 features an abrasion-resistant rubber outsole. The full-length outsole enhances grip and durability, so you can enjoy the cushioning, comfort, and all the other features for longer.
