The HOKA Clifton PRO Builds on a Fan Favourite


PARTNER CONTENT |

Hoka has expanded its popular Clifton range with the new Clifton PRO, a premium road running shoe designed for faster daily training. Building on Clifton’s reputation for lightweight cushioning and comfort, the PRO adds a more responsive ride aimed at runners tackling everything from tempo sessions to high-mileage weeks. The result is a shoe that bridges the gap between everyday trainers and performance-focused models.

Some of the shoe’s key features include:

The Premium Edge of Supercritical Energy
While retaining the highly protective 42mm heel stack and comfortable 8mm drop that runners trust, the Clifton PRO completely reimagines the underfoot experience.

Supercritical Energy Return: The standard midsole is replaced by a lively, supercritical EVA PROGLIDE™+ foam, delivering a snappier, highly responsive ride that keeps your legs feeling fresh.

Aggressive Forward Roll: An enhanced MetaRocker™ profile accelerates your transitions, giving you a smooth, smooth-rolling toe-off that naturally drives you forward.

Enhanced Lockdown: Features a re-engineered upper with 3D silicone print overlays and a double-lace lock system to permanently eliminate tongue migration and lock your foot in place.

Upgraded Durability: To handle the extra speed and high mileage, the outsole is reinforced with Super Abrasion Rubber placed strategically in high-wear zones.

What the Testers Say
“The Clifton PRO brings a modern, energetic liveliness to a classic fit. The rebound is incredible, and the smooth forward roll makes it incredibly easy to pick up the pace while maintaining that signature Hoka protection.”

Ready to Push the Pace?
The Clifton PRO is engineered for the runner who wants it all: soft, reliable protection paired with a bouncy, dynamic ride. It is the ultimate daily training companion designed to keep your transitions seamless and your stride powerful.
