Rather than introducing sweeping changes, the Clifton 11 builds on what has already worked. Hoka has made a series of measured updates to improve comfort, lockdown and overall ride quality, while keeping the balanced cushioning that has defined the range for more than a decade.

During testing, it proved best suited for everything from easy recovery runs to high-volume maintenance kilometres, continuing the Clifton’s reputation as one of the most reliable cushioned trainers on the market.

The Ultimate Easy-Day Companion
The Clifton 11 delivers that signature, cloud-like protection it is famous for, fine-tuned with modern upgrades for an even better ride. Signature plush cushioning powered by a fine-tuned formulation of classic compression-moulded EVA (CMEVA) foam, serving up a soft, protective underfoot feel that keeps your legs fresh kilometre after kilometre.

A few standouts include the following:

Locked-In Fit Security: The shoe introduces a re-engineered mesh upper equipped with 3D silicone print overlays for strategic, lightweight support.

Zero Tongue Migration: Don’t you hate it when the tongue slips to the side? This shoe features a game-changing double-lace lock system designed to permanently eliminate tongue movement and ensure a reliable, distraction-free hold.

Smooth Road Transitions: It retains the supportive geometries runners love, ensuring a balanced, smooth-rolling stride from heel-strike to toe-off.

What the Testers Say
“The Clifton 11 takes a classic and makes it even more dependable. Reviewers consistently highlight the improved step-in feel and great midfoot security, making it the ultimate companion for soft, protective everyday road running.”

Versatile, soft, and dependable, whether you are stepping out for a casual weekend long run or locking in your weekly maintenance blocks, the Clifton 11 is made to be your most reliable partner on the asphalt. It is the definition of classic plushness redefined.
