HOKA Clifton 10 vs Mizuno Hyperwarp Pure

The HOKA Clifton 10 and Mizuno Hyperwarp Pure target completely different uses. The HOKA is a daily trainer built around reliable protection and durability, giving you a predictable, comfort-first ride for everyday mileage, with the trade-off being a heavier feel and a midsole that isn't especially lively. The Mizuno is a racing tool, sitting lower to the ground and feeling extremely lightweight with a very bouncy, snappy ride that works best when you're running hard, especially in shorter races. It also stays surprisingly stable for such a minimal racer, but it isn't meant to shuffle through easy miles.
