The HOKA Clifton 11 - The Wait Is Over

The HOKA Clifton 11 continues the legacy of one of the most trusted daily running shoes.

Loved for its lightweight feel and plush cushioning, the Clifton range has been a go-to for runners logging everyday kilometres for over a decade. Built for daily use, comfort, and smooth transitions, the latest version of the HOKA Clifton range keeps all of the good stuff that runners love while adding a few simple updates that improve the overall ride.

What’s new in the Clifton 11

The Clifton 11 brings a refined update to the upper, featuring an upgraded mesh that improves breathability and structure. This is paired with a softer, more premium sockliner that gives a more comfortable step-in feel from the moment you lace up.

While the core DNA of the Clifton remains the same, these updates focus on improving fit, comfort, and everyday usability without stepping on what already works.

The Clifton 11 is designed to give athletes of all levels a smooth, reliable ride for daily training.
