Hoka One One Clifton 8 Women - Lightweight Cushioning for Everyday Running
The Hoka Clifton 8 1119394 are women's running shoes that represent the evolution of the award-winning Clifton line, offering the perfect combination of softness and lightness. With a revamped, more responsive midsole and an engineered mesh upper, they are ideal for runners seeking mileage comfort without compromising on weight.
Technical Features
Revamped EVA midsole: lighter foam (-15% weight vs Clifton 7) and more responsive for energy return
Meta-Rocker: sole geometry positioned near the instep for a smooth transition
Breathable mesh upper: optimal ventilation and a secure, pressure-point-free fit
Gusseted tongue: prevents debris entry and improves foot wrap
Abrasion-resistant rubber: high durability on asphalt and mixed surfaces
Flat-Waisted Geometry: natural stability without rigid elements
5mm drop: balance between protection and ground feel
Weight: ~220g (US size 7), among the lightest in the maximum cushioning category
Who Are They Ideal For?
Perfect for women runners with a neutral gait who cover medium to long distances on asphalt. Ideal for daily training, long runs, and marathons. Recommended for those seeking maximum comfort without excessive weight, suitable for paces from recovery (6:00+/km) to medium (4:30-5:00/km).
When NOT to Choose Them
Not suitable for: severe pronating runners (Gaviota/Arahi with support needed), fast races under 10km (Rincon/Carbon X better), technical trails (lacks aggressive grip), track workouts (too much cushioning reduces responsiveness), minimalist runners (high drop and stack).
Recommended Pairings
Complete your gear with technical women's running socks without seams to prevent blisters, a high-impact sports bra for support during running, breathable shorts or leggings for summer/winter sessions. For recovery: a foam roller to relieve post-run muscle tension.
Differences vs Competitors
