Our Verdict
ANTA PG7 3
HOKA Clifton 11
The ANTA PG7 3 could work as a budget alternative to the HOKA Clifton 11. Their cushioning is similar (both are great), the energy return is similar (both are bad), and they have almost identical stack heights. The HOKA shoe is lighter, though, and it has a broader arch platform, so if you want a nimbler daily trainer or are worried about midfoot stability, the HOKA might be worth the higher price tag.
