HOKA Clifton 10 vs Brooks Glycerin 23

The HOKA Clifton 10 and Brooks Glycerin 23 are both comfort-forward daily trainers, but they deliver different ride experiences. The HOKA has slightly more stack, better heel and forefoot cushioning at step-in, and a lighter build, making it a good option for shorter, relaxed mileage. The Brooks shoe has the brand's more traditional feel, with a thick upper, a familiar daily-trainer ride, and slightly better forefoot cushioning retention over longer distances. However, neither shoe is exceptional in this regard. It's heavier and less cushioned overall, but may appeal more to runners who prefer a conventional Brooks trainer over HOKA's softer, higher-stack feel.
