Clifton 9 Running Shoes Black Size 12

The HOKA Clifton 9 arrives in a black colourway and size 12 for adult runners. It uses a breathable engineered knit upper containing 35 percent recycled polyester. A compression moulded EVA foam midsole adds 3mm of stack height while reducing overall weight.

Suited to daily road runners wanting a lighter

Runners who need a trail specific outsole or a firmer tempo shoe should look at something else. The design also omits a plated propulsion system for racing efforts. Buyers seeking a stability focused frame may prefer a different model.

Early stage MetaRocker geometry guides the foot

This inherent rocker shape creates a smooth transition from heel strike to toe off. The feature works with the responsive foam to deliver the revitalised underfoot experience. It is the single element that defines how the shoe feels in motion.

Questions about this item

What does the 3 mm increase in stack height mean for the ride?

The extra 3 mm of stack height adds more cushioning underfoot while the shoe remains lighter than the previous Clifton, giving a softer yet responsive feel on road runs.

How does the Early Stage MetaRocker geometry affect the stride?

The Early Stage MetaRocker creates an inherently stable geometry that guides the foot through a smooth transition from heel strike to toe-off, promoting an efficient rolling motion.

What does the 70 % recycled nylon and 30 % recycled polyester lace blend provide?

The laces use 70 % recycled nylon and 30 % recycled polyester (excluding the aglet) for durability and a secure fit while reducing virgin material use.
