HELP!! Replacement for Hoka clifton 3 (napali)
Quote | Reply
So my beloved Napali is on clearance from runningwharehouse and none left in my size.

I absolutely HATE the clifton 4 and 5.

Any other models or brands that compare??

You're telling me that of the four versions on clearance they don't have your size...or you just want the one at lowest price of 64.88?

Hoka just reintroduced the Clifton 1. Better than Clifton 2, 3, 4, 5 though they're no Nike ZoomFly SP.

Going through the same thing you are but my size still in stock and I am stockpiling. So clifton1 reissue has the same cushioning as the 3 and lighter. But of course they are 130 bucks. I bought one pair of the 5 they suck. Stayed away from the 4 bad reviews. The 6 is coming out early summer. The clifton 1 is now available in 2 colors from just the one that tells it might be around for sometime. I use the one to race in the 3 train in. Hoka Valor was a Clifton with more cushioning but weight several ozs more might be some still around eBay

Where are you seeing this? I just looked at men's shoes on the Hoka website and only saw Hoka 5. I would gladly pay full price for the Clifton 1 but Hoka doesn't seem to be the kind of company that listens to its customers. And I guess they aren't interested in profit maximization either.

I could see them on the EU and US Hoka websites. The sites work slightly differently but 'Clifton 1' in the search box is a good start.

Personally I really like the Clifton 5s and they got a good write up in an ST article, it's always going to be personal.

Thank you! Strange that Clifton 1 does not show up on the Men's shoes page but it popped right up when I put Clifton 1 in the search box. And I have a pair on order!! :)

Hoka 1 was available for a while before and I got a pair. I don't know. I still like Clifton 2 & 3 better.
Again, they are no way close to Vaporfly 4%.

My Clifton reviews:

Clifton 1: A+
Clifton 2: C- (and a Gentleman's C at that)
Clifton 3: B
Clifton 4 & 5: Why bother?

Vaporfly 4% - Haven't tried them and at 61 yrs old, I'm not sure I should. Years ago I probably would have gone for them.
