Hoka Clifton 11 GTX

Hoka Clifton 11 GTX review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, slightly low volume through the midfoot with a narrow toe box. Available in wide and extra-wide for broader feet.

Feel

Generous cushioning but not bouncy, with a firm-leaning feel for the first few miles. The Meta-Rocker delivers smooth transitions, especially at easy paces and over long distances.

Durability

Low durability: midsole exposure wear and posterolateral outsole wear reported by 80 km. The Durabrasion outsole holds up better for lighter-footed runners.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy miles, recovery, and long runs. Well suited for beginners, heel strikers, and those seeking protection on pavement. Not recommended for quality sessions or racing.

Weak points

Poor energy return, flagged by multiple sources as a structural limitation. Outsole durability under scrutiny, particularly for heavier-footed runners. Non-gusseted tongue.
