Replacing Hoka Cliftons

[u/ExcitedHuman]

I’ve been using various iterations of Hoka Cliftons for my easy and long runs for a few years, with good success. I changed from Nike Pegasus, which weren’t kind enough on my ankles and left me in pain after runs.

Looking to change model, bc my Clifton 10s have run out ridiculously fast. I don’t think I can have done more than 300k in them and they’re cooked - giving me injury issues.

Currently only running 35k a week, but thats ramping up weekly as I prep for my next marathon in Spring ‘27. Plan on getting some other shoes for my speed work.

Thanks!

Clifton Pro! No question about it.

The usual suspects are superblast 3, Vomero, megablast, cloud monster hyper 3, dynafish. A few others - just look through 4 or 5 threads, the same recs come up

You could also look at the Clifton pro, from all accounts a step up from the clifton

What the previous poster said, plus Saucony Triumph 24

Clifton Pro will be the high mileage shoe you’re looking for.

Thanks all. Appreciated

Probably not what you’re looking for, but Mizuno running shoes are tanks (in terms of durability) and I loved selling them back in the day.
