HOKA Clifton Pro Men's Running Shoes
The HOKA Clifton Pro Men's Running Shoes are men's tempo running shoes designed for runners who want a fast, smooth and highly cushioned ride for everyday training and faster paced sessions. Combining the responsive ProGlide™ midsole, updated rocker geometry and premium upper materials, the Clifton Pro helps you maintain rhythm and efficiency when picking up the pace. Finished in Cosmic Grey / Black, this Standard Men's D width version delivers HOKA's regular men's fit.
Built as a tempo trainer, the Clifton Pro is designed to feel smooth at higher running speeds while remaining comfortable enough for regular mileage. The updated rocker geometry encourages efficient heel to toe transitions, helping you maintain momentum during tempo runs, progression workouts and steady daily training.
The ProGlide™ midsole provides a cushioned yet energetic underfoot feel. It absorbs impact while delivering a more responsive ride, helping you stay comfortable without sacrificing the lively feel needed for faster training.
A breathable engineered mesh upper keeps air flowing around the foot, while the comfort collar provides a secure fit around the ankle. The tongue pull tab and lace keeper make the shoe easier to put on and help keep the laces secure throughout your run.
Durability has also been improved with Durabrasion rubber placed in high wear areas of the outsole. Combined with the podular outsole design, this provides reliable grip while helping the shoe withstand regular training. Reflective details improve visibility during early morning or evening runs.
