While I was running in both the Rincon and Clifton 6, I kept trying to lean toward the Rincon, but I always enjoyed my time better in the Clifton. Same reasons maybe, getting older, my legs appreciate the smooth cushioned ride. Rincon ended up being too narrow anyway to keep it in rotation. Rincon is fantastic, and deserves all the praise it's getting, but for me, it's Clifton every time.
Searched the archives for this haha managed to grab a pair for £60 in sale. Even on offer I didn’t want to snap up without getting the low down from BITR
.....sooooo I just saw and bought a pair from eBay (5years later , I did buy a pair in 2020 and remembered how good they were), still in pristine condition, outsole was still in amazing no wear condition...and I forgot how comfortable these were compared to today's (2024) compared to the firmer formulation, the super soft, or nitrogen I fused marshmallow midsoles. I forgot how this formulation (and the Clifton 7 to be fair) was right in the Goldilocks zone, and even the stack height, which would be probably considered a more "minimal" shoe these days. I miss this kind of shoe, the perfect in between shoe.
I used to be a serious marathon and ultra runner until a botched spinal fusion surgery left me with a spinal cord injury and disabled.....which meant my running days were over (hardest thing in world to accept) But, I’ve learned to basically walk all over again over the course of 4 years, and I can even jog a little bit. I was a forefoot runner (not a heal striker) and even ran barefoot some. I’m wondering if Hoka Clifton 6 would be good for a forefoot runner, and also be kind to my current spine /back issues....being well cushioned up front of the shoe during plant and push off. I don’t really have any restrictions, and I can do what ever pain will allow me to do. I wore Nike Frees before my woes, but I can’t wear something so minimal now . Thanks, if anyone can comment ....
My rincon is showing excessive wear in the outsole after 40 miles. I'm not a heavy stepper or heavy build either. The only outsole that broke down quicker than the Rincon was the Huaca. I suppose you get what you pay for. Otherwise I'd love the shoe nix the durability concerns.
I recently bought a pair of Nike Zoom Vomero 14s and they are the first shoes that haven’t hurt my feet. I don’t do much running just a lot of waking and standing. Would you say these fit similarly in terms of cushion and support? I tried some Brooks Adrenalines but they felt a bit cramped.
I know the Clifton 6 isn't rated as a stability shoe but with that being said along with many different reviews touting the stability of the C6, how does it compare to the Arahi 3?
Save your money until August for you max cushion enthusiasts. For us blue collar runners who actually have to pay for their shoes, the Sketchers Go Run Max road Hyper 4 might just be a better bang for your buck. Based on advanced previews, It's lighter, cheaper and more responsive and flexable than the Hoka Clifton 6. And judging by the pictures, not bad looking for a Sketchers. As a sidebar, much can be said the same in my opinion about the New Balance Beacon 2 vs the Hoka Rincon. Lighter more responsive and better durability and road feel, the Beacon 2 for five dollars more is also better bang for your buck than the Hoka Rincon. We'll see if the Sketchers Go Run Max road Hyper 4 lives up to the hype or hyper.
jefreywith1f if the Go Run Max Road 4s are as good as the 3s (which I think they’ll be even better) they will squash the competition for max cushion. I loved the 3s and thought they were much more comfortable than the Clifton 3s. Cannot wait for that shoe
Thanks for the info. I have a pair of Clifton 5. They are narrow around the arch and when I run longer than 7 miles, give my feet blisters. (I've never had another sneaker Eve give me blisters.). Do you think Hoka fixed the narrowness of the 5, and what are your suggestions about the blisters?
love your channel...I was wondering would you recommend running in the Clifton 6 for a half marathon? or is it more for training...i love the feel of it....
@@Believeintherun Actually I'm just about to order either the pegs, or hokas. I've tried the pegasus 36 before and while they were comfortable and breathable, they didn't leave me good enough impressions to replace my current shoes. I've never tried Hokas before, but everyone seems to love them.. Great cushioning, perfect for longer runs (someone even said that the Clifton 6 is a good choice if you are looking for one shoe for every type of run). I think i'll go with the Clifton, hope I won't make a mistake. Thanks for your comment and the wonderful review, it helped me a lot!
I’ve been running with Pegasus for over 20 years, changing shoes after about 300 miles. (That means one to two months at the most per pair, depending on season) I worn out just three pairs of 36’s then I tried the Clifton 6 and I’ll never go back to Pegasus as long as Hoka will keep making something like the Clifton 6. (For recovery days, nice and easy runs, I use the Bondi 6 and they are great too)
Hoka has answered our prayers. Clifton 6 and Rincon are winners 🙌
hey whats up man? you hear anything when the Bondi 7 will release?

Kip Count just a preference thing. After an initial love affair with the Rincon I went back to Clifton 6.
As a Blues fan I very much approve of the blue and gold.🙂

Hey, I just bought the Evo Speedgoat, like it a lot, nice and light, great trail tread too.

Yes, these are popular with non-runners for their comfort.

jefreywith1f no one wants sketchers hoka is pushing it for most people
Max Road 4 felt stiff in comparison to the clifton 6. New balance beacon felt stiff as well.
Fourth!
Clifton 6 or 1080v10 for a daily trainer?
These guys are great, nice video!
Sweet juggling Thomas!

Thanks. I've run a marathon in the Clifton, so my answer would be yes.
And which one for my marathon race? Is Rincon good enough for that?
Trail running south tyrol yep.
@@Believeintherun Thanks, that was my plan to go Rincon, because the CarbonX seems too heavy and the nike ..well meh 277€....
Clifton 6 or 7, which should I get.
Either, pretty the same
This one is better than this one. v
but this one this one this one.
Less this one
More shoe names.
Thanks.
Great shoe C6. Better than C4 and C5. Way better on impact.
why all colors and sizes are not available in wide? PLZzzzzzzz
6 looks and seems better than the Rincon to me.
Robbie is funny af!
Thomas, what would be the best shoe for 2019 so far for running a 10K and/or Half marathon?
Possibly the NB Fuelcell Rebel, the Vaporfly Next%, Skechers Razor 3, if you want a Hoka in there, the Rincon
Hey Thomas.
Can you compare the Clifton 6 to the Nike Pegasus 36 ?
IR95 yes, Clifton is more cushioned and more stable. The Nike Peg 36 is a good daily trainer, looks cooler.
But I’d go Clifton 6

targeting clifton 6!
As a big guy at 6'5 220lbs, I assume you'd recommend me the Clifton 6 over the Rincon for a daily trainer?
Opus these have more underfoot. So if I was your size, I’d go Clifton 6
My son loves the 5 and hates the 6s....the 5s have better arch support
What the average mile runs before the shoes expire?
Clifton 6 or Adizero Boston?
Clifton
Sounds like Clifton 6 commercial.
so?
As someone from the desert Southwest, I would have loved the 5's color scheme on the 6. 😊
i agree! ...but don't dis' the Kachinas!
6 > OG
The reviews with two people are awkward.
Agree - distracting.
Someone is funny.
E MCINC who?
Actually both are funny
