Hoka Clifton 11 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size in length and width. Available in regular, wide, and extra-wide; non-restrictive toe box, solid midfoot lockdown without pressure.

Feel

Soft, predictable cushioning from the CMEVA foam; MetaRocker transition is smooth and low-fatigue over long distances. Not responsive: linear comfort, not energy return.

Durability

Durabrasion outsole in high-impact zones; exposed midfoot foam prone to premature wear on rough asphalt or with a shuffling stride. Expected mileage is average for the daily-trainer category.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy runs, recovery, and long runs. Also suitable for extended walking, all-day standing, and beginner runners. Not suited for tempo sessions or racing.

Weak points

The CMEVA foam is considered dated relative to the supercritical materials used by competitors. Wear on the exposed midfoot foam remains an unresolved structural limitation versus the previous generation.
