WH editors agree that this is one of their favorite cushioned running shoes that they often reach for before training. Its blend of soft cushioning and the suuuper supportive sole provides that bouncy-yet-stable ride without feeling like you're slipping out of your shoe (big ups!). Plus, the lightweight design—it only weighs 7.2 oz—helps you feel that much more light and loose as you move.
I find myself reaching for it to wear on long walks or running errands, too. Even after a full day of activity, my legs never feel sore or achy while wearing it. Pro tip: Pairing the Clifton 8 with compression socks only enhances its comfort and support, making it even more perfect for all-day excursions.
Something else WH editors noticed during testing was that the Clifton 8 has an extended heel crash pad, which keeps your foot stable inside the shoe so it doesn't slide to the front with every landing. It also has an early-stage meta rocker, which is designed for a smooth heel-to-toe transition when your foot hits the ground, offering more stability. Basically, protection is the name of the game when it comes to these kicks.

"It strikes just the right chord between plush comfort and energetic responsiveness," she notes.
So, are you convinced yet? Heads up: These prices aren't going to stick around forever, so now is the time to shop the Hoka Clifton 8 if you're in need of a new pair of high-quality sneakers.
