{{DISPLAYTITLE:Hoka Clifton 2 Review}}
The Clifton 2 is a remarkable achievement for [[Hoka Shoe Review| Hoka]], giving an amazing level of cushioning for its light weight. The original Clifton was a justifiably popular shoe, and the best seller at Running Warehouse in 2014, no mean feat for what was a niche shoe not long ago. The Clifton is nearly as well cushioned as the [[Hoka Stinson]], and while it's not quite as cushioned as the [[Hoka Bondi]] or [[Hoka Mafate]], it's a lot lighter than either. The original Clifton has been replaced by the Clifton 2, and it's been joined by the similar [[Hoka Odyssey]] and Challenger ATR. (See below for comparisons with each. I'll use "Clifton" to mean the latest second version, and specify a version when comparing. You can read about the original in more detail at [[Hoka Clifton 1]] and the latest version at [[Hoka Clifton]].) I've rated it as "The Best of the Best." {{H:WhatToLookForInShoes}}

==Asics GT 2000 2000 and Hoka Clifton==
I like to compare shoes against the [[Asics GT 2000]] as it represents the traditional running shoe. The GT 2000 is over engineered and includes many things I dislike in traditional running shoes. These excessive features go against [[The Science of Running Shoes]] and are more likely to cause problems than solve them. The GT 2000 is nearly 50% heavier than the Clifton, but provides far less cushioning. I can think of no advantage the GT 2000 has over the Clifton, and I'd choose the Clifton every time.
