HOKA · Daily trainer
Clifton 11
HOKA's best-seller evolves gently: soft, light-for-its-size and rolling, with a slightly more conventional drop.
What's new: Noticeably lighter than the Clifton 10 thanks to a simpler, non-gusseted tongue, with more toe-box height for a better fit. The foam and stack are essentially unchanged.
