Clifton 6

Same issue. My old Cliftons were fine but the 10s don’t really work for me. No fix I’ve found, I kind of adjusted to them but just walking not running.

Well you’re mischaracterizing the spirit of what I’m trying to get across. Of course it matters what show you’re in 30 miles into a run (wouldn’t want to be in vans) but the reality is the vast majority of runners in the world don’t get to a point where they’re 30 miles into a run, but many own multiple pairs of runners. Still, I could wear a pair of Clifton’s for a 50 mile run and then for next week’s hill sprints and they would be more than fine for both 👍 - and that’s what I’m saying

I went to a running store and had the foot scan and hated the feel of what they recommended for me. I ended up getting Hoka Cliftons instead and they have been great for my use so far but I am a slow runner and haven’t run more than 9k at once yet so I haven’t exactly pushed the boundaries of the shoe. Regardless of what you end up with, be sure to do some stretching & foam roll bc that can contribute to foot pain as much if not more than your shoe.

I did the Pig in '23! Epic. I also wore normal shoes (Hoka Cliftons) and just embraced the wet, heavy shoes. I remember running out of Mariemont around mile 18 thinking "my feet are getting dry" only for it to start raining heavily 2 minutes later. This was before I embraced race shoes and I probably would have faired much better with my meshy Vapor Flys. My husband wore his Vapor Flys and is toes faired much better than mine.

Hoka Clifton are amazing they have regular wide and 2E shoe for women .. get the 2E shoe if they are super wide.
