Features
The men's HOKA Clifton 9 has the cushion and comfort you crave for long runs, long walks and long hours spent on your feet—all in a sleek and lightweight package.
Confident running starts with finding a shoe with the right balance of support, comfort and performance. The Clifton 9’s unrivaled cushioning and soft step-in feel make it easy to get excited about lacing up your shoes and going for a run.
A tall stack of plush, compression-molded EVA foam turns hard surfaces like concrete and pavement into clouds, while HOKA’s signature early-stage Meta Rocker gives you a smooth and effortless stride.
The Clifton 9’s roomy toe box and padded upper hug your feet in a friendly embrace that will keep you comfortable all-day whether you’re running, walking or working. Plus, the flared heel collar won’t rub or chafe and it comes in multiple widths, so it’s easy to find the perfect fit.
With a comfortable fit right out of the box and responsive cushioning that makes running feel easy, it’s no wonder why so many runners say the Clifton is one of the best running shoes they’ve ever worn.
So grab your pair of HOKA Clifton 9’s and say hello to your new daily running shoe.

What’s New
HOKA made the Clifton 9 faster and lighter to give you the best run possible. The HOKA Clifton 9 now has 3 mm more cushion, yet around the same weight, thanks to its responsive new foam and improved outsole design. HOKA made the heel more cushioned, added a reflective heel panel to help you stay visible and streamlined the tongue for more comfort. The new upper provides a bit more structure and breathes more and they redesigned the heel for a better lockdown fit.
Who It’s Best For
The HOKA Clifton 9 is a great daily trainer for beginners and more experienced runners alike. It is comfortable and bouncy whether you are walking, doing an easy run or standing all day. It is also light enough to pick up the pace for speedwork and tempo runs, so it's a great do-it-all shoe.
Why You’ll Love It
The HOKA Clifton 9 is a legend for a reason—you will love the Clifton’s lightweight, cushioned and bouncy ride and its versatility from walking to running sprints. It's one of the best running shoes for a reason.

Hear From an Outfitter
“The Clifton 9 is a cushion shoe at a mid-cushion shoe price. Soft and helps with midfoot or heel striking with a technology called Meta Rocker. Would highly suggest to walkers, runners and people on their feet all day.”
