Hoka CLIFTON 9 1127896 CYWH

Men's Hoka Clifton 9 1127896 CYWH running shoes are the ninth generation of the most acclaimed and popular model in the Hoka lineup. In this version, the engineers managed to make the shoes even lighter and softer while keeping them versatile for both beginner runners and professionals who use them for recovery runs.

Key features:

Increased stack height: Clifton 9 gained an extra 3 mm of midsole height. This provides even deeper cushioning and joint protection when running on asphalt, while the overall weight of the shoe is lower than that of the eighth version.

Updated CMEVA foam: The new compressed foam formula is more responsive and springy. It delivers a “lively” rebound and retains its cushioning properties over hundreds of kilometers.

Engineered knit upper (Creel Jacquard): The lightweight seamless mesh wraps the foot snugly, providing zonal support and excellent ventilation. The design minimizes the risk of chafing even on long runs.

Early-Stage Meta-Rocker geometry: The signature sole curvature is designed for a smooth and fast heel-to-toe transition, helping maintain a natural movement rhythm and reducing strain on the ankle.

Improved tongue design: A one-sided gusset (Gusseted Tongue) prevents the tongue from shifting while running, and soft padding reduces lace pressure on the instep.

Durable Durabrasion Rubber outsole: Strategic placement of rubber pads on the sole ensures excellent road grip and durability in the highest-wear zones.

Updated heel collar: A soft, ergonomic Achilles zone reduces pressure and provides a comfortable fit from the very first wear.

Purpose: An ideal choice for daily road runs, long training sessions, moderate-pace marathons and brisk walking in the city. Clifton 9 is valued for its balance of “cloud-like” softness and lightness, making it one of the best shoes for those seeking maximum everyday comfort.
