Our Verdict
HOKA Clifton 10
HOKA Clifton 11
The HOKA Clifton 11 is a slightly better shoe than the HOKA Clifton 10, though the two perform almost identically. It's lighter, more comfortable at step-in, and better on longer runs. The Clifton 10 is a bit more stable. Both are best for easy daily miles.
