HOKA CLIFTON 5

£114.99 The biggest update to Hoka’s Clifton 4 is the upper. Following the trend of 2018, the Clifton 5 (320g) features a tightly-woven, engineered mesh that’s one of the major run shoe developments. This adds comfort and breathability – though ensure your toenails are clipped! Feet are locked in place that little more securely with the new design and, as per previous models, it features Hoka’s ‘Early Stage Meta-Rocker’. Essentially, this is a tweak in midsole geometry that creates a fulcrum effect to encourage a guided gait cycle. It’s certainly tangible but it’s also divisive. Fans love how it works with nature; critics argue it hampers feel. We think it excels over longer runs but loses effectiveness at speed. hokaoneone.hk eu
