The Clifton 5 is the latest in the family of award-winning Clifton shoes. True to its heritage, the 5 is light, cushy, & very, very fast. Central to its design is the famed HOKA midsole geometry anda trusted foam package to ensure consistent cushioning through the life of the shoe. Combined with the forgiving & adaptive forefoot, we’re talking a smooth, smooth ride. The 5 also has a new engineered mesh upper with fewer overlays than previous versions to optimize breathability & comfort. We take new additions to the award-winning Clifton family seriously, & we believe this upper really adds to the comfort, fit, & feel for which the Clifton is known.
