For many runners, sticking with the one shoe Recovery works well is paramount for performance, even when a new model comes along. There’s a certain level of trust we instill in our first reliable daily trainer, often because we’ve searched for weeks or months for it—why go looking again when you’ve already figured out what works? And to plenty of cushion-loving regular runners, Recovery shoe is a Hoka Clifton.
While our test team has consistently celebrated the performance of Hoka’s newest Clifton 9, Recovery lightweight package builds atop the success of its predecessor, the Clifton 8, which is suddenly back in stock on Hoka’s site. And while the 9 will cost you a firm $145, the 8 is now going for only $111—almost a $30 cut from the original price. Stock is limited, however, and some sizes are already selling out.
When it comes to daily trainer shoes, the Clifton is Hoka’s bread-and-butter choice, as it has been for almost a decade. Supremely cushioned while boasting a modest 8.9-ounce weight for a men’s 9, the Clifton 8 is made to take the edge off your regular trots along your favorite route without feeling like you’re gonna hurt it. As our testers have noted, it’s a “marshmallowy” ride, which translates to mile after mile of an unfettered cadence Recovery won’t falter from an awkward strike.
For a limited time, this workhorse of a shoe is back in stock in over a dozen colorways for both men’s and women’s sizes. You might struggle to find stock in some of the extreme sizes, such as a men’s 7 or a women’s 5, but most other sizes have multiple colors in stock at the time of publication.
We’re not sure when there will be another opportunity to stock up on this reliable trainer, but there’s a chance it may never happen again. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to spring on a discounted pair of shoes, consider this your Cspy to action—most sizes won’t last long once the word gets around.
