Discover how the HOKA Bondi 8 and HOKA Clifton 9 stack up against each other and how to pick between them.

With their focus on cushioning and comfort, the Bondi and Clifton are highly popular daily mileage shoes. Both models feature HOKA’s CMEVA foam in the midsole, however the key difference with the Clifton cushioning is there’s less of it and it’s quite a bit lighter.

The higher stack and ‘billowed’ Bondi is the ultimate cruiser. It’s cushioned and protective with a more accommodating fit, making it ideal for long runs and recovery runs. While the lighter and livelier Clifton performs better over a range of paces, making it ideal for steadier paced runs and when the legs are feeling fresh.

If you like to wear different shoes for specific runs, there’s definitely a place for both the Bondi and Clifton in your shoe rotation.
