Hoka Clifton 9: Lightweight, Cushioned, and Built for Everyday Performance
The Hoka Clifton 9 is the epitome of lightweight comfort and plush support, designed for those who love to walk, run, or tackle daily miles with ease. Whether you’re setting a new pace on your morning jog, taking a long stroll through the park, or working on consistent training sessions, this award-winning road shoe offers the perfect balance of cushioning, responsiveness, and streamlined design.
Revitalized for Everyday Comfort
The ninth iteration of the Clifton series brings a host of upgrades to enhance your walking and running experience. Now lighter than ever and boasting an additional 3mm stack height, the Clifton 9 features a responsive foam midsole that delivers a reinvigorated underfoot feel. This combination of plush cushioning and responsive energy return makes it perfect for all-day wear, whether you're walking leisurely or pushing your limits on the road.
Engineered for Breathability and Fit
The Clifton 9’s engineered knit upper provides a breathable, foot-hugging fit for all-day comfort. Designed with a minimalist approach, the upper eliminates overlays and hotmelts, resulting in a sleeker, lighter design. The gusseted tongue ensures a secure fit by preventing tongue migration, while the plush heel and reflective heel panel add a touch of luxury and visibility for early-morning or late-evening outings.
Crafted with sustainability in mind, the upper is made from 35% recycled polyester, with additional recycled materials used in the collar, tongue lining, strobel board, and sockliner. The vegan-friendly construction underscores Hoka’s commitment to eco-conscious design.
Smooth and Stable Ride
Every step in the Clifton 9 feels effortless, thanks to Hoka’s signature Early Stage Meta-Rocker™ technology. This innovative design creates a smooth heel-to-toe transition, making each stride feel natural and efficient, whether you’re walking through city streets or jogging on the open road.
The shoe’s inherently stable geometry enhances balance and support without compromising its lightweight feel. Paired with the compression-molded EVA midsole, the Clifton 9 delivers cushioned landings and responsive toe-offs, ensuring comfort and energy throughout your journey.
Durable Outsole for Longevity
The Clifton 9’s Durabrasion rubber outsole is built to withstand miles of wear and tear, providing exceptional durability for your daily adventures. Strategically placed rubber enhances grip and extends the lifespan of the shoe, so you can trust it to keep up with your active lifestyle.
