Great info, thanks. For my foot, the Arahi works better for me. I need the pronation support, which the Clifton doesn't have. Also, I'm not a runner. I do daily walks instead.
As far as I know, the Clifton is totally unfit for sprint. Like Brooks Glycerine, Nike Invincible or Saucony Trimph, H.C. is made for sessions of long distance run. If you run for 60+ minutes, once or twice a week they would be perfect, then you should switch shoes for other (and faster) workout sessions. I own a pair of Hoka Rincon3, which are both reactive and comfy although I feel they are not the best for my long distance Sunday run. H.R.3 reminds me my (beloved) Brooks Levitate 2, although it is a bit more comfy. If you look for Hoka models which are more reactive, you ought to look for Mach or Rincon. If you have the chance to try both Rincon 3 and 4, you'll see the latter is just another planet. I bought R3 becuase i felt it much better than R4. I came across Hoka brand last Dec. while was in Dubai. I saw so many Hoka shoes inside any stores that I was a bit curious to try them. However, I remain a big fan of Brooks. I used Ghost and Levitate for years and found them amazing.
Great review, thanks! Have been curious about Hoka shoes lately. How did they feel in the toe area? Was there room to spread toes laterally, or was the area narrow? Thanks!
Thanks D! Yes, the Clifton 9 toe box is wide enough, but not too wide. You can order a “wide” version of the shoe as well. I like the shoe more and more the more I wear them!
Trust and believe the shoe you looking for are the arahi 6. The new arahi 7 is far less Cushioning then that arahi 6 but the not too soft like the Clifton 9. Not sure why they changed it. But the 6 vs the 7 are very different… the arahi 6 are the perfect model that’s right in between the Clifton 9 and arahi 7
I am asking you to make a part 2 to your =+ Nike Go FlyEase += review and tell us how are they after 2 years or at least give us an update, i just wanted to buy them and i also asked myself how are they going to be after 2 years while watching your video and i tried and didn't find a part 2 so i hope i am not bothering you if you already made it but can you make a part 2, pls it would be appreciated.
No worries. I didn’t make a part 2 as I was not a huge fan. I had them for a few months and noticed I couldn’t do the running I wanted to do in them. They didn’t feel secure enough. So, I gave them to a Goodwill close to where I live. However, if you are just doing some casual walking, they should be fine. Hope that helps!
I made the same mistake,
Looking forward to buying the Clifton
You’ll love the Clifton 9s!

That’s great. Sounds like you found the right shoe. It can be a journey!
I also don't have flat feet, but still need mild pronations support. I think Clifton is a neutral shoe while Arahi has pronation support.
I have to admit I’m liking my Clifton 9s more and more.

Thanks for the tip!
If you're looking for something in between them, try Brooks Glycerin GTS 21. It has stability and the cushion isn't that plush.
Thanks for the tip!

Arahi 6 were my perfect shoe but Hoka no longer makes them.
@@mikeparker6322 better snatch a few of them that are on sale in different sites like I did… now is the time to strike lol
Sounds like you need the HOKA Mach 6.
Thanks for the tip!
