Hoka Clifton 11 Wide review: what runners say
Fit
True to size in length; standard width, slightly narrow through the midfoot. Available in wide and extra-wide for those needing more volume.
Feel
High, protective cushioning with a soft ride and guided transition from the MetaRocker. The CMEVA absorbs impact without energy return: smooth but not responsive.
Durability
Low-to-moderate durability: wear reported on the exposed midsole foam through the midfoot and on the posterior-lateral outsole as early as 50 miles. The partial Durabrasion rubber outsole coverage remains the structural weak point.
Best for
Easy runs, recovery, and steady-pace long runs. Also suitable for extended walking and stationary occupational use. Not recommended for speed work, tempo, or racing.
Weak points
Insufficient durability on the exposed midfoot foam, flagged by multiple sources. Some runners note a break-in period over the first few miles at the heel, which features a medially oriented bevel.
