Hi,
I have a sizing question for any other people that went from the Conquest to the Clifton.
I wear a 10 in the conquest which is a 1/2 smaller than most shoes and the other Hoka shoes I tried on last winter.
Are they the same size as the Conquest for people that have both or back up 1/2 size.

I'm a 12 in almost everything... got an 11.5 in the Conquest and it was too tight in the toebox, so I exchanged for the 12. The 12 is fine in the toebox and now a bit big where it "wraps" my foot. All other areas are fine.
Got a 12 in the Clifton and it's damn near perfect. The toebox could be a touch wider just to make the shoe better but it's no tighter or looser than my 12 Conquest in that area. The "wrap" on the Clifton is MUCH MUCH better than the Conquest.
Also, if you're like me, be prepared to hate your Conquests and start to think about buying the Bondi 3. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a pair tonight. After my first run in the Clifton, I haven't wanted to wear the Conquests since but I have wanted to wear more stable shoes.
