Clifton is often the shoe people try when they want softness, but not the full max-cushion feel of Bondi. The fit should feel easy through the upper, steady under the heel and natural once you start moving.
Some runners use Clifton for daily kilometres. Others like it for walking, light training days or time on their feet where a softer shoe helps. The important part is whether it suits your stride and the way you use your shoes most often.
GAIT analysis can help with that. If the Clifton’s neutral ride works well for you, we can help narrow down the right size and model. If it feels too soft, too narrow or not supportive enough, the team at Smiths can compare it with other HOKA options while you are in-store.
Bring in your current running shoes if they are handy. Wear patterns and fit issues can tell us a lot before you even try the next pair on.
