HOKA CLIFTON 9 Review Highlights After Running

We had been waiting for the Clifton to change from version 8 to version 9 for almost 2 years! .... And I wasn't disappointed when I tried it. I really like many things about version 9.
.
2 things HOKA has newly improved and made the CLIFTON 9 a more impressive support shoe than the previous version
1. The new foam is more responsive and has been increased by 3mm for men and 2mm for women (but the shoe weight has decreased).
2. The shoe's curved shape, or Rocker shape, which I feel is more pronounced
.

.
Besides that, there are also updates in other parts
1. New Breathable engineered knit Upper fabric, because there are ventilation holes in the pattern on the side of the shoe
2. The Heel pull tab has been updated to make it easier to put your foot in, with more curve and extension, while the heel lock is not different from version 8
3. The new Pattern designed outsole placement. I don't think it has much effect on running, except for aesthetics and it might be the part that makes the weight decrease

.
Now for the Highlights after trying to run with the CLIFTON 9 for about 10K and wearing it for walking for 3 days in Betong
.
- Soft without being mushy and more bouncy than before: I feel that the foam is denser, soft but not sinking in like the previous version ... The increased foam density makes the compression not go down too much, combined with the increased foam height, it feels like there is a push-off force during the lifting foot phase, like the shoe has shock absorbers ... The increased stack height and new foam adjustment is a perfect combination
.
- Fun foot roll: Actually, the brand did not specify if the Rocker shape was adjusted, but from observation and running feeling, it seems like it has been adjusted. I feel that it is more pronounced than before and the Toe off timing is smoother, making it quite easy to maintain a steady cadence, making Zone 2 training or easy running that requires maintaining a constant speed for a long time easier and more fun
.
- Comfortable foot wrap: The fitting of this version is good. The midfoot is well-snug, with a Heel counter that locks the heel not very well (because the Heel pull tab was designed to make it easy to put your foot in). The Upper fabric is thick and soft, so it makes the foot comfortable ... Is the ventilation good? The ventilation is still good
.
- Very stable foot placement: If we look down from above, we will see that the side of the sole base extends beyond our foot. That is the shoe's great stability because the sole base is wide
.
- Can walk all day: The sole is soft, not mushy, and has a wide sole base, so walking for a long time with this pair makes the feet very comfortable
.
CLIFTON 9 : It is a support running shoe that does not disappoint. It can be worn for running by everyone from beginners to experienced runners who need easy / recovery / all-day shoes
