- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Being in running specialty, our insight on the products are a little different because not only do we RUN in the shoes, we also SELL these shoes to our customers. We thoroughly fit people for shoes. So instead of having one person's feedback it's kind of like speaking for a community of people who were all interested in the same shoe. Good and bad feedback, we tell it all!
What shoe should we do next?
SHOP HERE! Thanks for checking out our reviews - if you like what you see, please don't hesitate to check out www.ultrarunningcompany.com as well. We're an actual brick & mortar store in Charlotte, NC, and appreciate your support! We're proud to carry the HOKA One One Clifton 8 and you can purchase them here: bit.ly/URCShopC....

Got the Clifton 8. It's in the rotation w/ the More 3 and Wave Sky 4. Bondi 6, Invincible Run, and Nimbus 24 are out.
Thanks for explaining where the weight difference come from in the women's version! I really love the new heal shape from Clifton 7, so excited Hoka is continuing that. I've heard a shoe designer say that women sometimes need a narrower heal cup and that shape seems to fit my heals just right.
Thank you for the excellent review as always!
#1
I could be wrong but at 1:04 in video, looks like you got stack heights reverse.
26.2 heel
32.6 forefoot
Am I wrong or is this typo. Not seen shoes with higher stack where forefoot is higher than heel...
At 1:42 seens you got it right.
With Insole inserted
36 heel
30 forefoot
#2
At 1:48 you started talking about high drop shoes...
You said 6mm drop & higher is considered high drop shoes & you said your store doesn't carry anything over 8mm drop.
I'm going check and see if you carry any of the following:
Brooks Beast
12mm drop
30 heel
12 forefoot
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21
12 mm drop
35 heel
23 forefoot
Brooks Addiction 14
08 mm drop
32 heel
20 forefoot
Brooks Glycerin 19
10 mm drop
36 heel
26 forefoot
Brooks Cascadia 15
08 mm drop
29 heel
21 forefoot
Brooks Cascadia 12
10 mm drop
27 heel
17 forefoot
Brooks Caldera 5
04 mm drop
39 heel
35 forefoot
Brooks Catamount
06 mm drop
32 heel
26 forefoot
Brooks Ghost
12 mm drop
35 heel
23 forefoot
I'm a heel striker...
Maybe I can learn to be midfoot, center of gravity striker...
Do you have any videos that show & talk about pros & cons of:
Low & High Drops
How to become or Just Show & Talk about midfoot & forefoot striker...
Saw following in article from 2013 but lots changed since then so I don't know if numbers mentioned are same or similar...
I was taught to run on heel & roll through to push off on toes 🤔❓
About 80% of runners strike the ground with their heel first, termed "rearfoot running". Another 15% of runners strike the ground with their foot flat, termed "midfoot running". That leaves a very small group of "forefoot runners", who run on the balls of their feet.
I can definitely understand negative biomechanics of running long strides & landing on heel & because leg is straight, it's like jamming your heels, ankles, legs, knees & hips into ground...
I got away with it for so many, many, many years but it may be catching up with me...
As always good review...
Thanks for sharing...
I dig my Clifton 8. Awesome weight to cush ratio !!!
So its way more responsive then the clifton 6? They were my first shoes where I felt this is too soft, I have to work harder to get moving. Thats why I stood away from the 7
Yes - we sure think it is. They're still soft, but the feeling of rebound is noticeably better with this compound. Certainly worth a try if that was your issue before.
I run in the Clifton 6 and More 3. The More 3 completely knocked the Bondi 6 out of my rotation.
I've never had a running coach, but I feel 8 is max. ALTHOUGH, the Nimbus is 10. I got away from those for a long time, 'cause they got all wonky. The 22 was not too bad, and the 23 is supposed to be superdeeduper. Still 10mm drop.
Excellent review. Do you think you’ll test the Hoka Mach Supersonic?
I liked the Clifton 8 better than the Clifton 6.
Nice review. Better ride than in the triumph?
Great review. Just ordered a pair from the Hoka website
Great. I took Clifton 8 today. Somehow I find it be a little tighter ( I'm currently running in Saucony Ride 15).
Is it normal or does it strech after few runs.
5:10 to 6:55 this guy sold the SH*T out of this shoe. Hoka needs to give him a seat on the board of directors. All the keys were hit. "We were shocked". "Pillowy". yet "Pop". It's there when you're drunk and falling left or falling right, and like a true friend, always brings you back to center.
We'll frame this one and pass it on! :) We'll try not to be as effusive in the future - it hurts our credibility when we say *too* many good things about a shoe (although this is a really solid version of the Clifton...).
@@TheUltraRunningCompany My comment could easily have come across wrong. I think you're an honest person and an honest salesman. It's not your fault your likeable as f*ck.
Very helpful. Thanks!
I think the wider version of the shoe should be wider and the standard version should not get any more narrow than it is already.
Good review. Would you suggest it for a flat foot runner, using orthotics, thanks.
9:53 oh you consider size 13 a “human size foot” lol wtf?? You mean a beast size foot? While I agree 9 is below average, I would use 10.5 as a “human size foot”. 13 is ridiculous lol
Ridiculous? YES. Nathan's feet are an abomination. He keeps saying they're normal, and we keep pushing back. But in the end, this is all his opinion, and we run with it. He's actually really heavy-handed behind the scenes, and we can't get him to just admit that having feet you can waterski is nuts. So with that said...run with us. Split the difference between his silly claims and the 9.5, and you're going to be pretty close to the relative weight of your 10.5s. We're trying to provide some perspective here - not the absolute answer. As he says at the end...: Learn To Love To Run! :)
@@TheUltraRunningCompany Hahaha alright I can appreciate this….especially the waterski comment lol. Just subscribed
You really need to watch your videos before you release them first you make the statement 26mm in heal then 30 something in the fore foot. You completely lost me with a absolutely garbage review.
