The complete Hoka Clifton lineage

The Clifton is Hoka's flagship daily trainer, a light shoe with a tall stack and a rockered shape. For a decade its recipe was fixed: soft EVA, a 5 mm drop, low weight. The Clifton 10 broke it in 2025, moving to an 8 mm drop on a taller platform and a new last, and longtime fans called it a goodbye to the old Clifton. This page tracks every version since 2020, what changed, and where the old formula still sells.
