The HOKA Clifton 9 (1127895) is a neutral road-running shoe for everyday training, high-mileage days and recovery sessions. Continuing the line of HOKA’s most popular road running model, it is lighter, softer and more responsive, pairing plush CMEVA cushioning with a light, lively ride for neutral runners on asphalt and other hard surfaces. Shown here in Men’s Midnight/Oceanic.
Key Features
- CMEVA midsole – soft, responsive compression-moulded EVA foam that absorbs impact on long runs and recovery days, reducing joint stress and fatigue while keeping energy for faster sessions.
- Early Stage Meta-Rocker™ – a tuned, curved sole profile that promotes a smooth heel-to-toe transition and reduces effort at push-off.
- Durabrasion™ rubber outsole – durable grip and long-lasting wear on pavement and urban surfaces, keeping its traction through high-mileage training blocks.
- Breathable engineered mesh upper – ventilation and temperature control for warm sessions and long tempos.
- Gusseted tongue with secure lacing – a snug, distraction-free fit that stops the tongue slipping during fast strides and intervals.
- Lightweight design (approx. 248g per shoe) – a nimble feel that supports quicker cadence without giving up cushioning.
- 5 mm heel-to-toe drop – a natural stride and efficient toe-off, balancing heel cushioning with a versatile forefoot feel.
- Reflective details – better visibility on low-light runs in the early morning or evening.
- Recycled materials – made with recycled materials where possible.
Performance Overview
On the road, the Clifton 9 balances plush cushioning with everyday liveliness. The CMEVA midsole gives a soft landing with a responsive rebound, whether you are cruising through an easy run or finishing a brisk tempo, and the Early Stage Meta-Rocker smooths the transition from landing to take-off, reducing the energy drain of long distances so you can hold a sustainable pace.
The Durabrasion outsole is built to handle daily mileage without losing grip on smooth tarmac or wet city streets, and the breathable upper keeps you comfortable from warm-up to cool-down. The gusseted tongue and secure lacing keep the foot centred over the midsole – useful on faster strides or crowded urban routes – and the reflective elements add safety as the light fades. The result is a dependable daily trainer: generous cushioning against fatigue, a responsive ride that preserves speed and a stable platform for consistent form in all-weather city running.

- Neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning with a light, responsive ride for daily training and long runs

- Athletes who need a stable, secure fit with a breathable upper and reflective safety details
