The Hoka Clifton 9 achieved a new personal best (price)

There’s no shortage of epic Black Friday fitness deals – smartwatches, running shoes, etc. – and this one from Hoka is no exception. The Hoka Clifton 9, literally the most popular running shoe in the world, is recording its lowest price ever, thanks to the most popular shopping holiday of all time (Black Friday for those who don’t own or ever see the light of day). .

Our fitness writer Tanner Bowden strives to rack up miles all over the world and finds every version of the Clifton to be top notch. “For everyday mileage, the Clifton is hard to beat,” Bowden wrote in our roundup of the best Hoka shoes. He has taken these neutral runners on virtually every type of run, be it recovery days, long-distance runs, or even a 15-mile trail run, which is where the idea for Hoka came from.

Cliftons and Hoka in general are all about cushioned comfort. These have a stack height of 40 millimeters, are 3 millimeters higher than before and at the same time lighter than all other previous models. The result is a soft landing, while the responsive foam keeps you moving with minimal effort. For $145 you could do a lot worse than the Clifton 9, and at a retail price of $116 you’d be missing out on the chance to walk on clouds.
