Ive enjoyed the Clifton since V6, but it was too soft to move quickly. With the new midsole in V9, im really excited to give them a whirl. Keep pushing, Chris!

I had been training in Saucony's for the last 2 years but recently bought the New balance Supercomp trainer V2's and the New Balance SC elite V3. Also picked up the New Balance SC Pacer for track work. I've been running in just those 3 pair of shoes over the past 3 weeks and the Trainer has got to be the best one I've ever ran in.

I’m on my first pair of hokas ( Clifton 9 ) after six years Nike, and I’m very pleased 😃 currently looking at hoka rocket x 2 for upcoming half’s and a full marathon 👍

I’ve had the 7’s & currently have the Clifton 8. My daily trainer is the Hoka Mach 4. Would say the Clifton 9 has changed drastically?

I have used Clifton for several years now for easy and long runs. Lightweight and comfy. Enjoy your races!

I can’t see past the Clifton, I’m on my 4th pair of Clifton 8’s and never had any problem with them. Average about 350 miles a pair which I find good being a heavier runner. Run two marathons this year wearing them and we’re great.

I'm coming back from achilles injury too, not the easiest injury for runners to get back to normal from. Would like to hear how you rehab to running again. 👍

Can someone please compare Vapour Fly 3's and Hoka Clifton 9? Thanks

I've been a Clifton girl since the 5!! Maybe it's us older and/or slower runners who really love them the most? They are the only shoe that has never once aggravated my metatarsalgia!! They just go and go and go and never let me down, a true reliable staple that I can't do without, AND extremely long wearing too... I've taken all my Cliftons to over 1500km, though they get relegated to runs of less than 18km and the treadmill after about 700-750km. No question the 9 is definitely the best one yet, more lively than the previous versions I would say!!

Great to hear the shoe is working for you and you're getting out there 🏃🏼‍♂️ 👍🏻

The West Sussex Fun Run League is great! I run them regularly with my club, hopefully see you at a league race soon!

I’m a long time Hoka fan but it’s tough to go back to EVA after running in PEBA/supercritical/ newer foams. Having said that, the Rocket X2 is amazing. For road running the Prime X is my new “Hoka”. It’s SO much better it’s like a new sport. I hope Hoka integrates modern foams into their trainers soon.
