Many of you already know my history with the Hoka One One Clifton. I've loved some versions, I've disliked others. It wasn't until the Clifton 6 that I started to feel some of the love again. Now with the Clifton 7, we're seeing a lot of what we loved from the Clifton 6 carried over. But, does the Clifton 7 go the way of almost every version before it and fail to impress or does it provide as comfortable of a running experience as its predecessor? Let's find out!

The navy and gold colorway makes the shoe look about 100x better imo.
facts that colorway is sick
Yeah they have the worst color scheme ever...very fairyish lol
That colorway got me to try the shoe. I only have Hoka recovery sandals so this will be my first Hoka shoe, we'll see if it works for me
@@motorcityjudy did you like them?
It's a lovely shoe but since it's just an upper update I'll buy another pair of Clifton 6's when they go on sale.
Not a bad call - I'll def be looking at the 6 price after the 7 drops. The 6 is fantastic. But, I do love the tab like on my ultraboosts.
I think I'll get the 7 after they've released additional sets of colorways. That yellow/gray/black 6 that came out later is so sharp
Does anyone know when the 7 is going to be released?
Rob The Ace I know the rincon 2 is slated for July 1, I would guess around there if not same day
Rob The Ace I’ve been told june 1
I’m disappointed if it’s as heavy as the Clifton 6. The Clifton 6 is not breathable and airy. I hope he means the upper mesh and tongue are lighter and MORE breathable. I love the fit of Clifton, but it gets bulkier every time which I don’t like. Rincon is nice and airy
Video starts at 2:43
thank you
"if you are that worried about it, just don't eat a grape" had me cracking up 😂😂
No buyers remorse with Clifton 6 & Rincon 1... Loved both of them. Get those pair for a discount.
I have the Clifton 6 and I love them. I have never really ran in super cushiony shoes so this was a great shoe to enter my rotation. I got them because of your review!
Great review, I’ll be grabbing the 7 as the first Clifton I jump into along with the rincon 2.... I think they could be a great pairing!?the look of the mesh upper looks really nice for summer running 👌
Love my Rincons, curious why and in what situation you would choose the Clifton over the RIncon for a run?
@@chrisl3856 what is the difference between the two? I was first looking into the rincon 2's because they are lighter but the clifton 7 look like they breath air more better but have more weight.
Spectra260 so I have both, I typically use my rincons for tempo/longer speed runs. Track work and speed work is reserved for my sketchers gomeb and I use the cliftons for my longer runs/easy paces. I have used the rincons for a 16miler but my feet were pretty sore by around mile 12. Rincons are very lightweight and great for tempos, however if you were to just have one shoe Clifton is more bang for your buck. Lasts longer(more outsole) “softer” so less feet soreness/impact, and a little more comfortable
@@Majik260 they are very diffrent. The clifton is super soft while the rincon is pretty firm.
Good lord that colourway is gorgeous, i must have it!
Loved the Clifton 6, favourite shoe of 2019 by a country mile
I think the Clifton 6 is my favorite Clifton! I'm glad they didn't change too much on the Clifton 7. The shoe I'm very curious about is the Clifton Edge.
I started distance running in 2020, bought the Clifton 6 in July and loved them, and after about 450 miles I just bought the Clifton 7 as their replacement. The 6's for me are so comfy for long runs. Great review, Ethan!
The main issue I've had with my Clifton 6's is the sole durability - the grip wore away really quickly and this is allegedly quite common
Didn't have this issue with my Brooks Glycerins
Clifton 6, hands down. I’m on my second pair and I really enjoy them. I completely agree with the you on the gusseted tongue addition. Would be nice to have. Thanks for doing this review!
I will always love the Clifton 1, and relived some of those moments with the re-release. The 1 is basically a different shoe from where it is now. I saw a preview of the Clifton Edge coming out. I will hold for that. 🥳
Scott Ramey Clifton 1 for ever
Ahhhh! My Clifton 6 is out for delivery today! Had no idea the 7’s were on their way. Still can’t wait to run in them tomorrow!
How's the run in them now
Owned two pairs of the 3’s and liked them. Haven’t tried any other version after.
loved the clifton 6
Same!
3s were awesome
Great B roll and close up shots , I also like that you are showing the shoes clean now :-) . Thank you for continuing to produce videos during the SIP.
Purchased my Clifton 6 while on a business trip in Europe late last year. Enjoy the cushioning and support, so much, I purchased a second pair on sale at our running store.
Bought my Clifton 6's two weeks ago. Great shoe. Can't wait to get these once they get worn out.
Nothing beats the Clifton 1s . I still have one unworn pair left. Sadly, my last of the originals and it's time to break them in today at the park 10K. So, I am glad to hear that the 6s will be dropping price shortly. I'll grab a pair of those instead of the 7s.
Bought my last three pairs of shoes based on Ginger Runner reviews. Been more than happy with all; Brooks Caldera 2 - hammered the hell out of those babies, Clfton 6 - made going running a whole new experience for me and Hoka ATR5 just works for me on the trails. So yeah relieved they didn't change too much because I will definitely buy Cliftons again. Thanks & Keep'em coming Ethan.
why are you lying?
On my second pair of Clifton 6's. Love the cush and the 7 being a tad more responsive would not be a bad thing for me. Also, run in the Rincon and love those too for shorter distances. As other have said: a great combo!
Excited to try the Clifton again. I gave up after the Clifton 4 and have been really loving the Rincon. Thanks the review Ethan!
Not all popsicles and drier sheets??? 😂 that’s a new one for me!
lol
Thanks for the first look! Great addition to the lineup after I get myself a pair of discounted 6s ;)
I was so glad the 7's came out. I immediately started looking for sales of the 6, and got a steal on another pair of Clifton 6 at a local running store. Last pair they had in my size for $85!!
My favorite Clifton is V1. I got a pair when Hoka re-released the V1 and have kept it in storage for a rainy day. I have been using the Clifton 6, but it was Meh for me - just not as comfortable as I would like. Then I got the NB1080V10 and that is now my favorite shoe, over the Clifton.
Miss the Clifton 1’s - my favourite running shoe ever 😊
I bought 4 pairs when Hoka rereleased the Clifton 1. I still have one pair left. I am praying for another rererelease.
My Clifton 6’s are rubbing the inside edge of my feet just below the big toe knuckle. Getting blood blisters every time. Doesn’t happen with the Napolis. Time for some protection tape I guess.
I started with the Clifton 2s, and have run in machs, hupanas, challenger atrs, & now elevons. My favorite though is the Clifton 3s. They were one of the best shoes ever (even better than Brooks Ghost 6)! I still have two pairs; both with over 1000 miles on them. Neither have much use for running other than supersoft trails or the beach. I switched to Napali because the 4s were so bad. Came back for the 5s, even bought a pair of knit 5s which have outlasted the regular 5. The 6s has been superb thus far. Looking forward to snagging a few more 6s when they go on sale. Can't wait to try the 7.
QD: Have run in Clifton OG, 4,5 and 6. I have really liked them all but do prefer the 6. Got 400 miles out of my last pair and I’m very sensitive to midsole density. I’ll be looking to get some deals on the 6. I will also miss the pull tab.
Thanks for sharing. I'll probably get 6s too instead of 7s
I got really lucky on colorways - I'm grabbing the red/yellow for KC Chiefs gear lol. But I do like the colorways on the 6 more. I've got the gray w/ yellow sole - they're sharp.
The 6 had a great second round of colorways release later on. I'm sure we'll see the same with the 7 eventually.
How do you keep these so clean? 😊
The previous version was too narrow and felt basically the same as the Rincon. Those ridiculous thin insoles don’t work for me. One to avoid I think. Better options out there right now.
Clifton 3!!! The arch, fit, wider midsole...it was Summer Love in a shoe box!

When life gives you lemons, make lemon...ade? When life gives you popsicles and drier sheets...you must be wearing Hokas! Another great vid, as always Ethan-hope y’all are staying safe out there!
Glad I stocked up on the Clifton 1, have 6 pair. Tip: if you have a smaller size like me, you can find an equivalent women's size on ebay. I got 3 pair Clifton 1s on ebay virtually new condition in the equivalent women's size. (mens sizes are pretty much gone)
Great review! I always too always love when series keep it pretty close to the previous, i love reviewing and trying new shoes, but i like to know that shoe works foe me and can be my go to.
Just test drove my brand new Hoka Clifton 7's this morning on a 4.2 mile run! Limooooo's for the feet. 1st time I have owned a max cushion shoe. Great place to start. Good 1st impressions.
Any update recommend for purchase ?
I love my Clifton6 for slow, fast, and in between. So soft and light. The problem is that when I went back months later to buy another pair, it didn't give me that first-impression cush that the first pair did. I was so sad that I couldn't reproduce the really soft cushioned feel of my original pair. Lot-to-lot variation I guess.
Thank you Tiger Claw team!
omg where's the pull tab. Jami won't be happy!
@Kai Smithley maybe just untie your laces?
Gotta go with the Rincon. Such a great shoe, haven’t had a lot of luck with the Clifton 6.
I like the cushion of the Clifton 6 but the fit is wider than the previous Cliftons. How do you compare the cushion of the Rincon to the Clifton
Had my clifton 6 for about 3 weeks now and love em, getting slight rubbing on my arches though
Id recommend maybe ordering a set of akasas from them. They only come in a couple colors. I ordered them and only returned because the size was wrong. The insole is a bit more plush and the arch isn't as high.
Pair of 6’s in my cupboard - and I love it! (Tried an earlier pair and never liked them).
So can’t wait for the 7s to be “old” so I can get em cheaper :)
That is the best color ever for a Clifton. Throws me back to 90’s Nike hoops shoes.
Got two pairs of Clifton 1's at steep discount last year...love them... So.... The 6's are like the ones...hmmm.... Think I'll grab those when the get discounted...
Best part of your reviews.....the transitions... popsicles and dryer sheets. Yes. So good.
I actually just bought another pair of Clifton 1s because... they’re awesome... I went all the way to the 4s and got turned off of Clifton’s. I will have to try the 7s now. Thx for the review.
So I'm going to get another 6 and save my money. Thanks for another great review.
I've been in every Clifton except 2 & 5 and thought the 6 was best one yet. Still going strong after 200 miles rotating with other shoes. I'll definitely try 7's at some point but will grab another 6 on discount soon! Great review. Looking for a review of the OG Clifton is how I got sucked into the Ginger runner world in 2014...
Really love hokas. Run in Rincons primarily but just grabbed a pair of the Clifton 7s for $84ish ... excited to try them out! Was hoping Saucony Rides would become my long lasting every day trainer but I’m not that into them so far after 100 miles or so. Back to Hokas!
wow, that price was steal
Love the review. Also love the Nepali over the Clifton 6. Way cheaper, smoother ride and less weight. Not sure the 7 can live up to the Napali?
Hello Sir. Big Fan since the first Clifton review 5y already.
Had my Clifton 6 for a couple of weeks now, love them, and picked them up for just £86 too.
Care to share where did you buy them from ? :D. Cheers !
Running in the 4's (they are ok) ran in the 3's which were very good, ran in NEW retro 1's and didn't like at all had to send packing. Looking for sales of the 6's. In time I might catch up to current level.
Clifton 1's are still my go to pair. I only have 4 new pairs left :( I found the Clifton 7's have too much cushion and cause my foot to pronate more. Might just be my biomechanics, but the 7's don't seem to work for me. I find 7's similar to the Hoka Napali
Today I received the Clifton 7 in the Seattle Seahawks colorway. In my opinion, the fit is different. I compared it to the C6 that I tested last year and the toebox is narrower and lower in the new version. It's a minor change but very noticeable. In the 6 one could wear any pair of running socks whereas in the new one socks need to be thin. I think that one should go up 1/4 size if it was possible because the shoe has a little bit less volume. It's not a dealbreaker but C6 was more comfortable in that area. I hate shoes where my feet are moving around because of too much space. Therefore I am not going up ½ size but this is close to being too small. I liked the old fit in Hokas more than what they have in newer shoes in their lineup.
Favorite Clifton 2 and 3 bought every pair I could find. Then I ran Napali's until they discontinued them. Clifton 4/5/6 all too narrow in midfoot and the new upper did not give me a locked in feeling. I like running up and down hill. The upper mesh bags out too easily. The cushion has been gone since the 3. For trail I really miss the Challenger ATR 2 but not the rubber sole peeling off issues I experienced. Speedgoat 2 still my favorite long distance offroad shoe. I still have one mint pair left in my quiver.
Starting getting blisters after breaking them in unfortunately in the Clifton 6, foot started to sink in the shoe, switched to the Rincons and for me it's a better overall shoe and my favorite Hoka so far.
These are my first real running shoes, compared to Asics Tiger designer model I was mistakenly using, these are wonderful to run with.
They say a pound on your foot is like 4 on your back. So I’d have to not-eat at lease 4 grapes at lunch. And that’s 4 grapes of fuel I won’t have on my run. My body is a fine tuned machine and I can’t compromise my precisely scheduled meals just for a shoe. *buys Clifton 7 anyway*
Peter Mitchell I love this comment
Great review and now I’ll be buying these. By far the best review I’ve seen and heard. Thank you
Great review Ginger runner. I have 6 i have like 2 miles on wil be a while before I grab the 7. CLV7 I Like look a lot
That styling is on point ! I'd wear that casually
I wish minor iterations could simply fold into the previous model rather than signify a completely new product that is effectively identical. At it's core, it is a predatory business practice that relies on the lack of consumer education to maintain artificial relevance. Ooh, a 7? That's obviously newer and better than the 6 - I want that.
series 1 . (period) i'd love HOKA to build the one series of the clifton with the new colours too! that would be a blast !
Loving the big thing of Clorox in the background.
I had the 6. Had to return them because they were too narrow in the mid foot. The top of the arch of the sock liner was cutting into my arch. I loved everything else about them. I wish it was just a tad bit wider in the mid foot. That’s just a personal fit issue though. Solid shoe otherwise.
Early versions of the Clifton were not offered in wide widths. Like my Clifton 6's over the 5's.
Thanks for reviewing those, I really want to try them. I've been in the Brooks GTS for years but my current version (20) seem to have dropped the stability and are basically a stable neutral shoe now.
Great review! Hoka are known for the pull tabs. Its distinctive. It’s like a Nike without the Swoosh!?) That’s is a few new models now without tabs (RocketX, Clifton7, Torrent2 etc) not sure I like the design direction, apart from the Hopara. Man I’m rocking that in Blue/Orange. So many great shoes these days from everyone.
“Just don't eat a grape at lunch.... Solved 🙄”
😂😂😂😂
Hoka is my go-to brand, but I find the 6 to be ... okay. I just bought a new pair about a month ago, and they're good. But my Brooks Ghost 11's are what I reach for any more. I'd definitely try the Clifton 7, though.
Thank you, Ethan. Keep on being a Happy Camper ✌🏼
Always creating beautiful content. This is an eleventeen out of a neventy seven.
My favorite has been C6. I did a 500 mls test and continued running in it even after that. Retired it after 1000K.
Is the sizing still the same in Clifton and Rincon? Mach got much smaller this year.
Great review. Just ordered. Will be my first pair of Hoka’s
What'd you think of em
You’re crazy gr , the Clifton 3 is so squishy( closest to clif 1) still got them, literally on right now plush as ever. 2,4,5 were so hard made my sciatica worse.
Clifton 5. Had to return the Clifton 6 because there is less foot arch support in the 6's which causes cramp in my foot.
Just watched the tiger claw video. I didn't realize that race was in my backyard. I'll be sure to make tiger claw my first race that I partake in if the dates work out. Last year's video looked sick. I have to put my quarantine training to the test.
I've only tried Clifton 5 from Hoka. My arch on both feet cut up badly 5km into each run. I started doubling up on socks for s few weeks but it didn't stop the cutting up of the feet. After a few weeks I retired them. I wouldnt take another 100 pound punt on a Hoka shoe after that.
Maybe I’m weird, but I love the Clifton 5 knit. Prob one of the most hated hokas of all time
Rincon + Clifton 6 is a combo you cannot beat.
I got the Clifton 5 as my first Hoka shoes. It was a very bizarre pair of shoes for me. The first 300 km were quite smooth and cushy. Then it feels like the midsole was dying, every step my feet are sinking in. But after the 500 km mark, the midsole just revived again lol
ive only ever owned one pair of hoka and it was the clifton 3s. from every brand/model ive owned i sure got the most out of them. ive owned two pairs of adidas pure boosts and they lasted half the distance of the hoka 3s
Just got them black and white coulor way 😎
You mention you use clifton 6 for trainer. What do you use for race day and what are distances you're racing in where you would not use Clifton 6 or 7...
I agree 100% concerning gussets tongue... And I prefer loop instead of elf pull tab...
Haha,
If worried about weight don't eat a grape?
Side note,
What type of mileage do you feel Rincon or Rincon 2 will get ( should be same )?
SENSATIONAL, it is sad that in Brazil these models will take time to arrive.
At the moment there is nothing about Hoka.
Just got a pair of these in wide size, game changer
Happy TigerClaw Day!
Don't Eat a grape! Love it!
Really enjoy your informative videos. I have been a devotee of Skechers brand running shoes. I own a pair of Forza 4 hypers. I love Skechers. However, Skechers top cushion shoes seems to have lots of issues and Hoka has a reputation of being the King of Cushion shoes. I'm a Clydesdale. Soooo, I just sent away for a pair of the Clifton 7's . They arrive this Friday. Looking for good things. (Psssst, don't rat me out to Skechers!)
I really don't understand why companies don't do the gusset tongue on all of their shoes. I do enjoy my 6's so I will buy a pair of each when the 7's drop.
Great review. I had to go up half a size in the clifton 6, do you think the same will be the case for the 7?
I've used Clifton since Clifton3 to Clifton6 and my favorite is Clifton6, the worst was Clifton5. My 6 pair has almost 1000 kms and still feeling good! I want to reach those 1000 so I can start using my new pair of 6!
While watching the video I was also thinking on when the Clifton6 was going to be out on sale to get a couple of new pairs!
Looking forward on your Rincon2 review as it is the shoe I have in mind for my next marathon: Train with Clifton, race with Rincon!
I've only used Clifton5 and wouldnt buy another Hoka since. It was like a blood bath. Needed a week to recover after every run. Binned them after 1 month. Waste of 100 pounds.
If you need more arch support and don't have a wide foot the clifton 5 is actually perfect. I have a clifton 6 also but prefer my 5's. There's no perfect shoe for everyone just what works best for you
@@kevinratcliffe1717 I totally agree, my Clifton5 pair has less than 100 Kms, I wouldn't use them again for running, only for walking or travelling. Give Clifton6 a try, you will feel the enormous difference in the first steps.
@@seanc.5310 Correct! There is a shoe for everyone, unfortunately it didn't work for me, but it doesn't mean it won't work for others.
I liked the Clifton 4, didn't like the 5(I tried one pair and went back to the 4), I like the 6 (on my second pair and will likely go through four of then before switching to the 7). I put the bulk on my miles in this shoe.
I could tell a big difference between the 5 and 6. Thought the 5's felt better on the bottoms of my feet on them long runs. Wish the 6's were that way.
Based on what I heard about this shoe update being so minor, I saw this new Clifton as a why. After your review of this shoe, I'm actually considering it as a solid try. In your humble GR opinion, you felt the upper allowed you a better lockdown, and felt the midsole was slightly more responsive. Those were my 2 issues with the Clifton 6. I found the upper to be a bit sloppy and I had to really sinch the laces down. I also felt like the midsole was a little too soft and marshmallowy for my taste. The black colorway was one of my favorite looking shoes last year. (The current white color you reviewed looks hideous to me). I will be trying the new Clifton's as soon as the warehouse of running has them in stock !...But it's not all express 2 day shipping and free returns over at RW ! What happened to the RW promo codes ?
OMG, man, where did you get this thick colourway of 7th? Where is no such one on official website 😭😭😭
I'm thinking the same, saw they were out now and wanted to get this colour but its not on there!?
when does this release?
QOTD: the OG! thanks Ethan. ive got a ton of miles in the 6's and find they feel too soft and heavy after 100 or so miles.
Are you saying you've ran in single session 100 / 100+ miles in the Clifton 6s?
@@Thankful_n_Grateful no that's not what i am saying. i meant after 100M of use. I have, however run 100k in a single session in them and they held up nicely. a lot better than the rest of me did anyway :)
@@agsmith001
Thanks for clarification
@A.G. Smith after I got through 250 miles or so on my Clifton 6 (before I replaced them) I honestly started to like them more as the foam felt like it just fit my feet better
