HOKA Launches Clifton 11 With Fit and Comfort Refinements

The update signals HOKA's choice to improve fit and underfoot comfort rather than change the Clifton platform.

Overview

  • The Clifton 11 went on sale this week and is priced at $155 for both men’s and women’s models in multiple colorways and select regular, wide and extra-wide widths.
  • HOKA focused the update on comfort and fit by adding an updated engineered mesh upper, a softer open‑cell sockliner, reflective details and a double‑lace lock to secure the tongue.
  • The shoe keeps the Clifton 10 platform elements—compression‑molded EVA midsole, Smooth MetaRocker geometry and an 8mm heel‑to‑toe drop—so the ride remains consistent with the prior model.
  • The Clifton 11 earned the APMA Seal of Acceptance for podiatric review of foot health benefits, which may appeal to people who stand or walk for long periods.
  • Retailers have cut select Clifton 10 colorways by about 20 percent after the launch, creating an immediate choice between buying the new model at full price or a discounted outgoing version and potentially shifting short‑term sales toward older stock.
