Hoka Clifton 8 - Evolution or Revolution ?
If you talk about the most popular Hoka One One models, the Clifton is always mentioned. This summer 2021, the eighth version of the successful model will be released.
The latest version of the Clifton series offers exactly the "slip in and feel good" feeling that some people missed with the last version. The Clifton 8 offers an even softer ride than its predecessors and feels extremely lightweight. In fact, it is 15% lighter than its predecessor. Can you really feel that? We definitely say yes, with the weight savings achieved through a new midsole foam and mesh upper.
Keyfacts:
- 100% vegan upper material
- strong breathability due to new mesh upper material
- 5mm drop
- weight 215g / 250g ( men / women)
- EVA insole
- Early Meta Rocker sole for a more dynamic rollover
- New outsole stabilizes the step, despite increased cushioning
The Clifton was virtually the "Every Day Training Shoe" until now. Is the Clifton 8 more than that? In terms of comfort, the Clifton 8 is in a new league. That's why we trust the Clifton 8 to run very long distances, even beyond the marathon. Due to its lightness, however, it is also absolutely usable for tempo runs and intervals.
Conclusion: The Clifton 8 is more than an evolution - it is a revolution!
