Clifton 8

I absolutely hate the 10s. Really enjoyed the 8s and to a lesser extent the 9s. I run 5 days a week went through 3 pairs but the fit and arch support as a mid sole striker were main selling points. The 10s shifted me to heel strike hurting my knees and Achilles. I can not tolerate the heel drop on the 10s. Brand new and I had to go buy a pair of the Mach 6s

I have been buying Clifton’s (8 & 9) for a few years. Went to get a new pair and was told they were Clifton 10 w/ higher arches. They were nothing like any of my previous Clifton’s. My plantar fasciitis flared up and was worse than ever. I only wear Hoka’s & I wear them all day so this was a shock. I switched to another brand and added an insert and my PF is back to being manageable.

Last official marathon 3:45. Wore a fresh pair of hoka clifton 8’s. Trained my whole block in them as well.

Hoka is a good choice for people with wide feet. I loved them for a while, but they regularly make changes to their shoes. Clifton 7s and 8s were amazing, but each of the tweaks since have made them garbage. As well, the foam isn't as durable as it once was, so the shoes deteriorate rather quickly. I've moved to Topos (wide feet) but they aren't as good as the OG Cliftons.

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.
