Hoka Bondi 9 Stack, Clifton 9 GTX, Clifton 10 3mm Drop, Rincon 4 2025: Runners Tested When it comes to running shoes, Hoka has long been a brand that speaks in bold, high-impact words. This season, testers took to the trails, roads, and cardio rooms to evaluate four standout models: the Hoka Women's Bondi 9, the Clifton 9 GTX, the Clifton 10 with its 3mm drop, and the new Rincon 4 2025. Each offers a distinct rhythm, as if tailored to a different kind of runner-whether they're chasing speed, seeking stability, or craving cushion. The Bondi 9's towering stack feels like a sprinter's burst of energy, while the Clifton 9 GTX's waterproof upper and responsive midsole are a trail runner's reliable companion. The Clifton 10, with its subtle 3mm drop, invites a smoother, more natural stride, and the Rincon 4 2025 hints at a future-ready design, blending innovation with the brand's signature plushness. Together, they paint a picture of Hoka's evolution: a balance of heritage, adaptation, and forward-thinking comfort. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time stride, these runners are proving that every step can be something of a revolution.
