* {{H:lacing}}. The Clifton uses thin round laces which I found tended to come undone. It's amazing that in the 21<sup>st</sup> century shoe manufacturers can't use laces that work. Unlike many shoes in the Hoka range, there are no elastic straps that pull the sides together even if the laces are loose. (I always cut the elastic straps off.)
* {{H:heelcounter}}. The Clifton has a slightly firmer heel counter than the Bondi that extends around the foot to the level of the top of the laces.

=Comparisons=
Here are some direct comparisons with its potential competition.
The Clifton seems like it's an evolution of the Bondi. It feels remarkably similar, even when wearing one shoe on each foot. The Clifton is lighter, and has better wear characteristics, so it works out cheaper per mile. The Clifton shares the poor toe box design of all the Hokas. It's not clear why anyone would buy the Bondi now that the Clifton is available.
