Two daily trainers. Two very different rides.
The On Cloudmonster 3 and HOKA Clifton 11 are both built for everyday running but they deliver very different experiences underfoot.
Cloudmonster 3
A more responsive, rockered ride with a stronger sense of forward momentum. Best suited to runners who like their daily trainer to feel a little more energetic.
Clifton 11
A smoother, more balanced ride designed around dependable everyday comfort and easy transitions.
So which one should you choose?
Chose the Cloudmonster 3 if:
- You want a more responsive ride
- You enjoy a noticeable rocker
- You want a daily trainer with a little more energy
Choose the Clifton 11 if:
- You prefer smooth, balanced cushioning
- You want an easy, dependable daily trainer
- You value comfort and predictable transitions
There isn’t a universal winner here.
The better shoe is the one that matches your running, your fit and the type of ride you enjoy.
