Women’s HOKA Clifton 8 Gray and Pink

The HOKA Clifton 8 (Women’s) is a daily trainer that aims to balance softness, lightness, and comfort. Here are its key highlights: ⸻ Features • Cushioning & Midsole: Uses a new ultralight foam compound that’s lighter and more responsive than in previous versions. Delivers a plush underfoot feel without feeling overly bulky.  • Heel-to-Toe Drop: 5 mm, which helps a smoother transition with less aggressive slope.  • Upper: Engineered mesh for breathability, with a gusseted tongue and extended pull tab for easier entry.  • Ride & Geometry: Features like “Early Stage Meta-Rocker” and a flat-waisted geometry offer a smooth landing and stable ride.  • Durability & Grip: High-abrasion rubber in key wear areas helps longevity.  ⸻ Performance & Use-Case • Best suited for everyday running and walking — it’s not a race shoe, but great for putting in steady miles.  • It’s neutral in support (though the wide base and flat geometry give a touch of inherent stability), so people with mild overpronation might find it okay, but those needing serious corrective features may look elsewhere.  • It’s also available in “Wide” versions, making it more comfortable for those with broader feet.  ⸻ Considerations • Some users mention arch discomfort, especially early on. For certain foot shapes (especially flatter or very high arches), it may help to try them in person or consider insoles.
