Hoka® M Clifton 9

Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.

Engineered mesh: Functional mesh is a popular material used in running shoe uppers. The tightly woven structure allows for better airflow and keeps your feet dry while running.

Early stage Meta-Rocker: Early Stage Meta-Rocker technology is a feature in HOKA shoes designed to enhance the running experience. This technology places the transition zone of the rocker sole behind the metatarsal heads, closer to the heel. This placement helps create a smoother footfall and allows for a quicker transition from heel to forefoot, making it ideal for runners. However, it is not recommended for those with balance or stability issues, as the extended slope can reduce stability.

CMEVA (Compression molded EVA): CMEVA (Compression Molded Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) is a type of midsole material commonly used in sports footwear. This material is known for its excellent cushioning properties as it compresses and then returns to its original shape, providing constant support and comfort. CMEVA is lighter and offers better shock absorption compared to conventional EVA

MetaRocker: MetaRocker is a hallmark feature of HOKA footwear that is designed to enhance the natural gait cycle and provide a smooth running motion.This technology features a low heel-to-toe gap and a rounded sole shape that together promote a smooth rolling motion during the stride.

Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.
