ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 vs HOKA Clifton 10

The HOKA Clifton 10 and ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 are both popular high-cushion shoes, but are built around different levels of versatility. The HOKA is a cushioned daily trainer that feels most at home on short, easy runs where you want a plush, comfort-first ride and a relaxed pace. The ASICS, on the other hand, feels more consistent and more capable as distance increases, with cushioning that holds up better deep into long runs and a noticeably more energetic midsole that keeps the shoe engaging when you start changing gears. It's also lighter despite the higher stack, making it easier to use across a wider range of training, from easy mileage to steady efforts to long sessions with pace variations.
