It keeps everything that's great about previous iterations and addresses the previous shortcomings with improved fit and materials.”
Designers were able to shave a few ounces off the Clifton 8 by creating a super-lightweight foam blend that absorbs impact like a champ.Īs one reviewer put it, “I think the Clifton loyalists will love the 8. Though the Clifton 8 isn’t a huge jump from the 7, the updated midsole foam creates a much more responsive feel underfoot and keeps runners engaged even over long distances. The padded tongue and long laces lead to a cinched, dialed in fit whether you’re running or walking in them. The Clifton 8 is a neutral runner that accommodates a wide range of foot shapes and arch heights, even in normal sizing. However, HOKA continues to meet and surpass our expectations with each iteration of the Clifton. It’s hard to find a shoe that works well for so many people. “The Clifton 7 felt like a straight lasted shoe where the Clifton 8 delivers on a semi-curved lasted fit and feel.” Compared to the Clifton 7 this fits my foot much better!” he says. “Overall, the Clifton 8 has a better foot shape with a snug heel, accommodative midfoot, and rounded toe box. One of our reviewers put long mileage on their Clifton 7’s and used to have to apply anti-chafe solutions to his big toe before runs: This plays out in the widened toe box and smooth transitions while running. The Clifton 8 still provides the same versatility and stability, but with a more curved midsole geometry and exaggerated early-stage rocker.
The Clifton 7 made this clear with it’s relatively flat and wide outsole.
This shoe is built for everything from road runs, to long walks to a day spent on your feet at work. Slight changes to the engineered mesh upper (which was introduced with the 7) and enhanced padding add to the overall performance of the Clifton 8 without changing the style too much. Aesthetically, not much has changed between the Clifton 7 and the 8.
