Hoka Clifton 11 GTX Women's review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, normal volume with a slight tendency to run narrow in the midfoot. Slightly tapered toe box; available in wide and extra-wide.

Feel

Generous, protective cushioning with a feel that reads more dense than soft. Smooth transitions thanks to the Meta-Rocker; limited energy return, not suited for sustained paces.

Durability

Low expectations: early outsole wear reported as soon as 80 km on heavier runners. CMEVA midsole tends to pack out quickly. Durabrasion outsole holds up well on asphalt and mixed surfaces.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy miles, recovery, and long runs at moderate pace. Suited to beginners and heavier runners seeking protection and comfort; not recommended for quality sessions or racing.

Weak points

Poor energy return, a recurring criticism across all sources. Below-average outsole durability, with premature wear reported by multiple testers. Non-gusseted tongue.
