Hoka® Clifton 9
Lightness, speed and comfort for every running day - Hoka® Clifton 9
The Hoka Clifton 9 is one of the lightest and most versatile road running shoes in the Hoka range. They offer soft and smooth cushioning that's ideal for everyday workouts, long runs and tempo lunges. With Meta-Rocker geometry, they'll help you keep a natural, smooth stride and reduce fatigue, so you'll feel light even at higher volumes.
The model uses an upgraded EVA midsole with more foam, which is even softer, more flexible and more responsive compared to the previous generation. The breathable knit upper hugs the foot comfortably and securely, while the redesigned heel provides better stability. A grippy outsole with strategically placed grippers increases durability and confidence on urban surfaces.
They work best on asphalt, sidewalks, and hard surfaces where their lightness and cushioning are on full display. For normal training use, you can expect a lifespan of around 500-700km, depending on pedalling style and load. If you're looking for a shoe that is lightweight, comfortable and reliable for everyday running, the Hoka Clifton 9 is the obvious choice.
Materials
Technology
GORE-TEX®
Upper
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
Gore-tex Invisible Fit: Gore-Tex Invisible Fit technology represents a significant advance in footwear and offers a unique combination of lightweight construction and superior protection. This technology provides a natural fit and feel, making it ideal for athletic sneakers, especially those with knit uppers. It provides a durable waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane that is seamlessly integrated into the shoe
Engineered Knit: The technology and comfort in the shoe offers a seamless and snug fit that adapts to the shape of the wearer's foot. This innovative knitting technology allows for a reduction in material waste during production, making it a more sustainable option in the footwear industry. It enhances performance with features such as lightweight construction, breathability and better energy transfer for athletes.

Regular D
Midsole
Early stage Meta-Rocker: Early Stage Meta-Rocker technology is a feature in HOKA shoes designed to enhance the running experience. This technology places the transition zone of the rocker sole behind the metatarsal heads, closer to the heel. This placement helps create a smoother footfall and allows for a quicker transition from heel to forefoot, making it ideal for runners. However, it is not recommended for those with balance or stability issues, as the extended slope can reduce stability.
CMEVA (Compression molded EVA): CMEVA (Compression Molded Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) is a type of midsole material commonly used in sports footwear. This material is known for its excellent cushioning properties as it compresses and then returns to its original shape, providing constant support and comfort. CMEVA is lighter and offers better shock absorption compared to conventional EVA
Sole
Rubber: The rubber sole is a traditional and highly reliable element in the construction of footwear, valued especially for its extreme mechanical resistance and grip. This contact layer is made of natural or synthetic rubber, which is characterized by its high density and elasticity. Due to its physical properties, it provides excellent traction on a wide range of surfaces, from smooth asphalt to unpaved terrain. In addition, the rubber is naturally waterproof and resistant to temperature fluctuations, ensuring stability and a secure stride in a variety of climatic conditions.
Details
When choosing a size of running or outdoor shoes, it is recommended to have a margin of at least 1 cm in front of the longest toe. This space allows the foot to move naturally, stretching the foot, preventing possible foot problems.

A Technological Revolution in Cushioning and a New Definition of Functional Design with HOKA
The brand HOKA represents the pinnacle of performance footwear in Footshop's portfolio, having defined the category of maximalism. This French-origin project burst onto the market with a vision that radically challenged the then-current trends of minimalism and "barefoot" running. Instead of thin soles, HOKA offered a massive midsole with unprecedented cushioning. Today, this footwear is seen as a technological statement sought after not only by ultra-marathoners but also by a community focused on modern urbanism, where comfort and technical aesthetics are priorities.
From Alpine Peaks to the Front of the Peloton: History and Biomechanical Progress
The brand's history began in 2009 in Annecy, French Alps, where it was founded by two visionaries and experts in sports equipment development, Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard. Their goal was to develop a shoe that, thanks to its specific geometry, would allow for faster and gentler descents in extreme terrain. The name "Hoka One One" comes from Maori and translates to "to fly over the earth", perfectly defining the sensation of walking and running that these shoes provide.
Within a decade, HOKA conquered the world of professional running. Today, stars like three-time Olympic triathlon champion Jan Frodeno and record-holder for many ultra-long distance races Jim Walmsley dominate the brand's models. However, due to its unique, almost "oversized" silhouette, the brand has also spilled into the lifestyle sphere, becoming a staple in the wardrobes of those who see shoes as tools for maximum performance and as specific aesthetic objects.
Meta-Rocker Engineering and Pillars of Technological Superiority
What we appreciate about HOKA shoes at Footshop is their comprehensive technological engineering, which addresses movement efficiency at every stage of the step. A key element is the Meta-Rocker geometry, a specific curvature of the sole with a low drop that acts as a cradle, supporting a smooth transition from heel to toe. Among the most valued models in our selection are:
- HOKA Clifton: The standard for road running and high-end daily wear. It offers the ideal balance between cushioning and responsiveness while maintaining an extremely low weight.
- HOKA Bondi: A model with maximum cushioning using ultra-light EVA foam, synonymous with joint protection during long distances.
- HOKA Speedgoat: An iconic trail silhouette equipped with a sole featuring specific grip that ensures traction in the most challenging technical terrain.
- HOKA Tor Ultra / Kaha: Models utilizing waterproof membranes and premium nubuck, which have become icons of modern functional design.
At Footshop, we recommend pairing these models with progressive technical clothing. Investing in HOKA footwear is an investment in the health of your musculoskeletal system and in a design that isn't afraid to stand out. Choose your pair from our premium selection and experience the technology that taught the world to love movement in complete comfort.
