A guide to the most popular HOKA running shoe models

Clifton 10

Light and plush for everyday miles.

A trusted running shoe for daily maintenance miles, the Clifton has been the keystone of our cushioned styles for 10 years and counting. Ushering in a new era of plush performance, this next-generation update delivers a revitalised underfoot experience with an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning for better comfort. Delivering the same ultralight cushioning that made the Clifton a fan favourite, we’ve fine-tuned the fit and added a breathable jacquard upper with double-lace lock to mitigate tongue migration.

RECOMMENDED FOR: Road running, training, up-tempo runs, 10k & 21k.

Rocket X 3

Ahead of your time.

Built for achieving your personal best, the Rocket X 3 delivers a carbon-fiber super shoe that doesn’t skimp on support.

Enlisting a single-layer engineered mesh upper for enhanced breathability and stitch-and-turn collar to help mitigate blisters, we’ve removed the gusset for easier entry.
