Hey Zack....yeah, both shoes are like that. I do appear to supinate, but have never seen shoe wear like this. It is usually farther forward, near the forefoot and no where near this level. I just think the sole material here is so soft that it lends itself to significantly faster wear, especially for my stride / foot strike.
I can take some pics of my other shoes and send those your way, if you would like to compare (both Hokas and some other brands).
Don't get me wrong...I LOVE the Cliftons. I just can't really recommend them as an everyday shoe. My plan right now is to use Bondis as my primary trainer and use the Cliftons for longer runs / races.
