Our Verdict
Brooks Glycerin 22
HOKA Clifton 10
The Brooks Glycerin 22 and HOKA Clifton 10 both deliver a cushioned, comfortable ride, but they feel quite different underfoot. The HOKA Clifton 10 is lighter and rolls forward more easily thanks to its firmer foam and pronounced rocker, giving it a smoother, more versatile ride across a range of paces. The Brooks Glycerin 22 feels denser and more traditional, focusing on deep cushioning and a stable, planted feel. Runners who want an easy, efficient turnover will prefer the Clifton 10, while those who prioritize softness and consistent comfort will appreciate the Glycerin 22.
