Here&#8217;s what you need to know.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hoka Clifton 9 is a <strong>successful update<\/strong> of the previous model, continuing the brand&#8217;s quest for <strong>softness and comfort<\/strong>. The brand made significant changes, with <strong>more stack (3 mm)<\/strong> and a new CMEVA foam midsole proving lighter. The cushioning is softer but lacks some bounce, according to testers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new Clifton features the company&#8217;s Meta Rocker, as effective as ever to propel forward and ensure <strong>smooth transitions<\/strong> through the gait cycle. The upper has been both streamlined and padded without adding weight. The <strong>engineered mesh (100% vegan)<\/strong> is breathable and provides ultra-comfortable, <strong>secure lockdown<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the Hoka Clifton 9 are for runners looking for lightweight, comfortable daily trainers that can do anything.<br><br><em>For more information, please read our<a href=\"#review\"> full review<\/a> of the Hoka Clifton 9.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

its own little history. Over the years, the brand&#8217;s flagship running shoe for daily training has undergone a number of happy changes, as well as a few disappointments for fans. It has put on a little weight here and a little firmness there, and gained in reliability too. At the same time, it has also become a little less fun on the asphalt compared to the lightweight, max cushion competitors that have emerged on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hoka Clifton returns today for its 9th edition. What updates does it include? Will it consolidate the improvements made to version 8 (smooth ride, effective rocker)? Is it still in the run to confirm its status as a Hoka mainstay? Find out the answers to these questions in the rest of this article!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cushioning<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2-1024x683.jpg\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-16517 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Hoka's Clifton 9 midsole foam underfoot for a soft ride\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:768px;height:undefinedpx\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hoka One One&#8217;s efforts to update the 9th iteration of their Clifton focused on this part of the shoe. The general consensus among reviewers is that the new formulation of the compression-molded EVA foam, both softer and lighter, is a notable improvement. It provides soft shock dispersion but little energy return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As if by magic, the Clifton&#8217;s midsole comes with added stack height (+3 mm) while remaining lightweight.

The feeling of a smooth, fluid ride dominates, without the impression of sinking into the ground. More than ever, the combination of compression-molded EVA foam and Hoka&#8217;s trademark Meta Rocker works wonders. It enables efficient, energy-saving transitions while encouraging a natural midfoot strike. A good point if you like to roll out the easy miles without wanting to draw too heavily on your doubts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A feeling of great stability also emerges, despite the stack height of the sole and the softness of the cushioning. So you can look forward to long runs without worrying about your ankles.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1-1024x692.webp 1024w,https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1-300x203.webp 300w,https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1-768x519.webp 768w,https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1-1024x692.jpeg\" height=\"692\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1-1024x692.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1-300x203.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1-768x519.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hoka_clifton_9_review_1.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-16534 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Clifton 9 Hoka\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:768px;height:undefinedpx\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Hoka Clifton 9 remains the brand&#8217;s flagship model for daily training and easy long runs.

minimal at first glance, but they are nonetheless substantial:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>a 3 mm thicker sole<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a new, modified CMEVA, lighter and softer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a redesigned outsole for enhanced traction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hoka Clifton 9 offers a smoother, more comfortable ride than its predecessor, with enhanced cushioning for longer runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were comfortable in your sneakers in the <a href=\"https:\/\/runnerslab.com\/hoka-clifton-8-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clifton 8<\/a>, there&#8217;s no doubt you&#8217;ll be even more so in the Clifton 9 and for even longer distances! Version 8 offers a little more bounce, however, and is better suited to faster speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other comparisons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a
