Clifton 8 'Nimbus Cloud'

The latest Hoka Clifton 8 for men retains its high cushioning and soft feel from a very light shoe but now with a new midsole that demonstrates improved energy return. Hoka continue to work hard to avoid a highly cushioned shoe like the Hoka Clifton 8 feeling "soggy" i.e. energy inefficient. They do this by reducing weight and carefully considering midsole materials. When a midsole is incredibly soft, it can struggle to bounce back once your foot leaves the floor. A slightly firmer midsole keeps shoes feeling "springy". The Clifton 8 is genuinely surprisingly light and is great for newer runners and even more experienced runners on their relaxing recovery days.
