I underpronate but there was something in the heel of Clifton 10 causing the foam to bottom out completely causing my foot to roll inwards. Perhaps a monday example. I managed to get my money back and return them. Never happened to me in any other shoe.

He's right, maybe not exactly a Triumph or Glideride Max, but a nice daily trainer is a good start. Ride 18, Novablast 5, Clifton 10, 880 v15, 1080 v14 Gel Cumulus 27. Make sure the fit is also right for your foot.

I personally run in Hokas. I use the Bondi 9s. I need the cushioning it seems. However the Bondi 9s are a pretty expensive running shoe so I usually suggest the Clifton 10s because they can pretty much do it all. With this being said every runner is different in what they like or need so would recommend trying these shoes in a running shoe store to see which shoe you like the best

I don’t know, i have the Clifton 10 and love them run Wise but after 300km, the have worn off pretty well. I have saucony’s as well and they have not worn off at all despite having 500km on them Wondering whether it is a batch thing or something else

This, people like Hoka’s and that works for them. My calves attack me after 6 mile in my Clifton’s. My best shoe is different from someone else’s best shoe.

I’ve found that the extra “lip” on the back of the heel, which is meant to protect the Achilles, actually very much bothers my Achilles. It did not improve or get better. I eventually went to the store and picked up the first pair of Hokas that didn’t have it and landed in the Bondi 7 which I’ve stuck with until now (Bondi 10). Achilles not happy so I’m now in Altras 🤷🏻‍♀️ All of which is to say, trust your gut.
