Best praise vs top criticism for Hoka Clifton 10
“I second this, these are the only shoes I want to wear (vs. SB1, NB4, Zoom Fly 6, Deviate Nitro 2... though my Neo Vistas are a very close second and more useful for light work). Luckily I have never had the heel issue. (I was initially wearing KT tape on my heel just in case, but have since dropped that because I obviously forgot once and didn't bleed.)”
“These are 160-165€ in my country, which is insane considering the midsole youre getting. The midsole wouldn’t be that big of a problem if these were 120-130€ shoes. For the same price you get full a race day foam in adidas evo SL. Cliftons are not a bad shoe, they’re just really bad value”
