Clifton 8

Daily TrainerRelease date 2021-06-01JP

Clifton 8 is a lightweight daily trainer designed for first-time HOKA runners and routine mileage. Building on the Clifton shape, it introduces a lighter, softer foam, while full-compression EVA, Meta-Rocker, and Active Footframe support a smooth transition. Breathable engineered mesh, a plush tongue, an extended heel crash pad, and targeted durable rubber balance comfort, protection, and low weight.

Daily, Long run
