Hoka Womens Clifton 8

Soft and light for everyday running, the Hoka Women’s Clifton 8 in Outer Space/Atlantis updates its midsole foam, for an even softer ride than previous versions in an ultra-light build. An updated upper and extended heel crash pad also help to provide an improved ride.
The Hoka Women’s Clifton 8 delivers the perfect combination of a soft and supremely comfortable ride, with a lighter and more responsive midsole to help keep you moving further.

An extended heel crash pad helps to provide a smooth landing, and still fits with the early-stage meta-rocker that allow an easy transition and helps to keep your legs turning effortlessly.

The new engineered mesh upper allows Hoka to create a more open and breathable feel, while providing more support in key areas. This means that the shoe needs less overlays for a smoother look and feel, and improved lightness.

Ample cushioning, minimal weight and a uniquely smooth ride are the keystones of the Clifton, and the changes to this eighth version enhance each element while also offering a smother more breathable upper.

HOKA Clifton

Seemingly impossibly light, especially with that maximal cushioning underfoot, the HOKA Clifton is a versatile everyday runner with an incredible weight-to-cushion ratio. Offering bags of comfort to keep you moving through long runs and daily training, it’s a pleasure to wear over any distance.

Extra Cushioning

Featuring extra-deep stacks of midsole foam, extra-cushioned shoes offer improved impact absorption, comfort, and even performance. With modern foams providing energy return through your stride, the more foam under your foot, the bigger the spring forward. The trade-off of extra foam is additional weight and reduced ground feel. It can also be expensive to create and stabilise so much foam.

HOKA

Where others follow, HOKA lead. Originally intending to improve downhill traction and stability, HOKA discovered a formula for success across any terrain that has been replicated across many other brands. It also made this relative newcomer a big hitter in the running shoe market.

Start with a supremely cushioned midsole, offering marshmallow softness, shock absorption, comfort, and support at varying levels across the range. Then apply the Meta-Rocker. Designed to drive runners forward, this shaped underfoot geometry complements the natural gait cycle – by curving the shoe at the toe and heel, it ensures a smooth transition from impact to toe off. Lastly, the Active Foot Frame functions like a bucket seat in a car, cradling the heel and offering a secure feel across the foot.

The first thing you notice picking up a HOKA is how light they feel: despite the deep cushioned midsole, they have an almost weightless build. Combine that featherlight feel with the propulsive foam and forward geometry, and you get a sensation of pure speed. As HOKA would say, “Time to Fly”.

Neutral

This shoe is a neutral running shoe, ideal for runners with a natural gait or mild underpronation. It's designed to offer cushioning and flexibility without additional stability or motion control features found in structured shoes. The midsole is made with lightweight, responsive materials, providing a good balance between cushioning and ground feel. It allows your foot to move more freely, following its natural motion during each stride. The upper provides a comfortable, snug fit without constraining your foot. If you have a natural gait and seek a shoe that combines cushioning, comfort, and freedom of movement, this neutral running shoe is for you.

Road Running

It might say road, but we don’t just mean pounding closed-off streets on race day. Road shoes are predominantly for the pavement.


They feature flat rubber traction for confident footing in the city and enhanced cushioning to soak up the strain of every stride.

Best for Everyday Mileage

To cope with all the miles you run, shoes for everyday mileage are built to last.

Thicker rubber on the outsole withstands huge amounts of pavement pounding, and a thicker, more durable upper also helps to improve longevity.


The other priority is comfort, with soft materials around the entrance and midsole foams designed to cushion, feel great, and last.

 

Because of the extra protection, daily mileage shoes tend to be heavier than their race day and tempo counterparts.
