HOKA ONE ONE "CLIFTON EDGE" : SHOE FEATURE BY SAGE CANADAY

[@ChezzzyChez]

The shoe is out in the shops in Singapore where I am. I just got the Clifton Edge a week ago and have ran only 27km in it so far and out of which are wet tarmac surfaces and glad to mention they provide a good grip and even on downhills it gave me the confidence and no worries on slipping. Good cushioning on the heel and responsive. Gonna use them for a personal 10 hour, 15 x uphill/downhill slope this Saturday! 💪🙂

[@FZappaFan1]

I've run Saucony for years. Just switched to Clifton this summer. I have a motocross foot injury from when I was younger that makes my toe go numb on distance runs. It doesn't do that anymore in theses shoes. However, I'm constantly redoing the laces as the upper isn't very comfortable.

[@Vivungisport]

Looks alright. Most important thing for me is to keep my legs free from injuries .. look being secondary.

[@TheCityAnimal]

I have a Clifton 1 and I have already bought Rincon 2. Hoka is very comfortable for running.

[@yoyoz333]

I smile every time an American acknowledges the metric system.

[@paddywiggle]

We’re don’t all use an inferior system all the time 👌🏼

[@hebrews11vs5]

The what system? Never heard of that system before 😂

[@flashbuck1]

I’m excited to try them out I’m a big Hoka fan

[@TheCityAnimal]

I have bought Hoka Rincon 2. It is a light running shoes and very comfortable. And the price is not expensive.

[@SamirMishra6174]

Hi, really looking forward to a podcast which you and sandy host together

[@hoodedhillhopper2408]

My favorite shoe company! Thanks for the info!

[@Vo2maxProductions]

thanks for your support!

[@ironmantooltime]

Yeh hoka's gone wierd again 😄👍 (first 🙌)

[@williamlunn-pigula7029]

They should change their slogan to "Hoka: The Crazy Company". 😜

[@ricodelavega4511]

not weird, its built for snow running. Never heard of it? They just invented a running shoe that fuses a running shoe and snow shoes. Great idea Hoka.

[@ironmantooltime]

@@ricodelavega4511 haha needs spikes 😉

[@oliruse5954]

yay love me some TRaining Talks!!

[@snazzycracker2]

Looks decent, nothing weird about putting more support in for a heel strike or downhill.

[@RoadrunnerTrainingProjects]

When the Hoka rep showed me this i was like “you guys are losing it over there at Hoka”. Still don’t know about the midsole and crazy heel. All about that Clifton if I wear Hokas.

[@Anza_34832]

Hi, coach Sage! Best regards, a metric-fan!

[@aaroiseverything]

It looks amazing !! :D

[@exerciserelax8719]

Hey Sage! Would be interesting to see a video where you talk about how you use your watch in training and racing. I've been reading a lot of articles from old-school coaches/runners (and some younger ones) who are very opposed to GPS watches. They say it's better to learn to rely on internal feedback (feel/effort) rather than external, and also you shouldn't try to keep a single pace or HR because it might go up or down based on how you're feeling, elevation, etc. (as well as device inaccuracies). Any thoughts on the pros and cons? I can see both sides.

[@joyridaz]

Surprised u didn’t mention downhill running.... always assumed that’s what this shoe was intended for. Cool shoe, good review. Cheers

[@yadadameet]

He sure did. See 4:32

[@bendrno2233]

Thanks Sage, love the talk of shoes. I've always worn asics kayano but recently wanted to swap as they felt flat, were getting worn after 400km and got suggested brooks adrenaline by a running company store due to my pronated foot. Now while I pronate on landing I have a medium arch but my biggest issue in running in kayanos was I got blisters and lots of wear on the head of my 5th metatarsal as that was where i land before rolling in. I've began some strengthening of my fibularis eversion muscles to help my foot from supinating during the leg swing phase of gait which i believe causes me to land on the supinated position before I then roll inwards. I have done some research into this and I struggle to understand why I am seen as a pronator when none of my wear is on the medial aspect of the shoe. My brooks are already showing wear on the outside after 60km of running on road and I am unsure what to do as most shoes are meant to last 500km. I have started a rotation with saucony iso ride 2s which are great and lighter than the kayanos and brooks but the brooks feel a lot nicer underfoot. I was reccomended mizuno I assume waverider? but I preferred the feel of the brooks. I also have a pair of boston 8s coming as I wanted a lighter shoe for race workouts as I prepare for a marathon. I was wondering what your take might be on my situation and how to solve my foot landing issue or a shoe which may at least get more wear through it before losing all its rubber sole and have tears in the lateral forefoot mesh. Appreciate your work heaps sage and have been loving your advice.

[@RRP3168]

Hi Sage. Barefoot runners are always talking about cushioned shoes and how they mess up your feet. You have been running for a long time and use really cushioned shoes. Have you had any injuries, maybe due to the shoes you wear? Could you please make a video to talk about your experiences?

[@usmclongrangebrainsurgeon]

They look fly

[@cyrusseEr_Ly]

Can you do one on the ten nine please? Some people are interested in getting it but need to know more about how it feels before they drop that kind of money. It's such a unique and out of the box shoe.

[@dennissullivan4746]

Most excellent and lovingly biased review, Sage. Thanks!!

[@V1RT8]

It’s so ugly that it could be a modern art masterpiece! Gunnery Sergeant Hartman

[@nicolorebellato3101]

i noticed lots of people reviewed these shoes as inherently STABLE , mainly due to the big heel and wide landing area. i am curious to know how this stability feeling compares to "true" lightweight stable shoes like the arahi

[@QronoZ713]

I'm guessing the heel almost works a bit lite a keel on a boat. Or support wheels for when you learn to bicycle! Either way, look like a very interesting shoe. Saw some guy run in it the other day, and it's not yet release in my country so he must have been a sponsored athlete or maybe a shoe store worker with early access?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

I agree! Yes, they don't officially go out to the public in the US here until July 2020

[@CoolInOlympia]

Interesting!!!!

[@cvong1016]

wait, is it actually pronounced as "on-eh"? In my head I always thought it was just like the number 1

[@k2raf]

Hi Sage, please review (for fun) the Frankenstein Hoka, you know which ones, the ones with the extended soles :)

[@akiratam5623]

I am on the fence about this one, Sage. I am a mid-foot to forefoot runner: not sure how this shoe design will benefit me?

[@anvoeske]

Would you prefer the edge over the 7s then?

[@19Kamau79]

Are them coming out in wide toe box version? Btw, looks very cushioned compared to weight.

[@RRP3168]

Nice! Me wanna!

[@Hans-dm1hs]

Hoka One One sounds like someone put a spell on me

[@cordeiropedro]

I am very curious about this shoe. I heard its stiffer and more responsive than the normal clifton... regarding the heal... well its looks like o Nike heal but with Hoka design. I remember first time I went to run with my old Turbo’s and tried to drive with them... lol too much heal. 🤣

[@Deadbuck73]

One foot long? When you’re a 13 all your shoes are at least that! 😂

[@Vo2maxProductions]

True! I'm only a 10 and this was a full foot long though (which is rare in that size range)

[@60400]

What happened to the Huaka? You were a fan of it, and got 🔪 Do you have any insight on why it got discontinued? It still is my favorite, really miss that shoe.

[@ironmantooltime]

Yea huaka was a classic, v low drop light trail shoe with some cush 👍

[@i_would_but_i_wont]

I will not be running stairs in those shoes...haha. However, I'm really impressed with my Clifton 6's. I had Clifton 4's and they were basically junk. The uppers blew out after not very long. But the 6's seem to very improved and are not showing much wear after about 2 months and plenty of miles.

[@Vo2maxProductions]

glad you like the Clifton 6's!

[@ДмитрийРомашов-з2ь]

Hello. I want to buy running shoes for running. I run on the ground and on the asphalt. The maximum distance is 4-5 km, but also to fit under 100,200 and 400m for a while. 18 years old, height 184, weight 83kg. Ready to spend up to 13 thousand rubles. Please tell me.

[@lichin11]

Too expensive for me, but nice video with informative content.

[@raymondfoo9045]

Any Hoka models for agile, ground feel and responsive for trail?

[@jensrasmussen4052]

Torrent 2 ?

[@reigaterobot4965]

Do you know if they have stopped producing the Mens Evo Speedgoat? I need to replace mine and can't find them anywhere on their website

[@usertutubo06]

I believe the Evo Speedgoat was designed with the same specs for both men and women. I suggest to look for the women's one and choose the size based in cm or eur instead of US or UK numbers so it fits you. Good luck

[@nearylanghans3366]

I feel like I’d trip. Most people heel strike and that’s a ton of heel

[@donzong]

Sage with your shoes experience and you having ran the roads of Kathmandu, would you recommend the Clifton Edge for the type of terrain here?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

maybe not. You could almost use a trail shoe like the Torrent (or at least something for the uneven rocks/dirt on the roads). The Clifton edge is for sure more for smooth pavement (level and uniform roads). A Clifton 6 might be better as well.

[@qigong1001]

The sole is made out of high quality orange and strawberry sherbert.

[@jameshawkins7577]

Hey Sage, are there any hoka’s that are not made in China?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

I believe they might have factories of manufacture in other countries but I'm not 100% sure at this time.

[@jameshawkins7577]

Vo2maxProductions thank you for replying! Rooting for you in all your races! It would be great to find a Hoka running shoe that was manufactured in an ethical minded country.

[@manojkumar-jw5jc]

why can't we get it in india ?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

it is still brand new and not officially released to the public yet!

[@IrishMexican]

As a barefoot runner, I feel like an outcast here...

[@ndk4]

It looks as if you can walk on water. Soo wide like a boat

[@Deadbuck73]

Waterskis!

[@RoadrunnerTrainingProjects]

We call the speedgoat the speedboat at my work. 😂

[@zingiestmeerkat]

I’m getting some new shoes soon and am considering hokas, I’ve used asics for the last few years. Does anybody have recommendations?

[@linosganzerla8252]

Start with the Rincons and work your way up to more performing models. I had the same idea but the Rincon are so good I’m on my second pair and haven’t moved on 😁

[@Vo2maxProductions]

@@linosganzerla8252 the Rincon's are still probably my favorite all around road shoe from HOKA ONE ONE right now!

[@ironmantooltime]

@@linosganzerla8252 anyone have the issue of rincon insoles coming unstuck and riding up? I swapped mine out for a pair from some old atr 4s and all good 👍 Current rotation: rincon, atr5, speedgoat3 and torrent1 😎 The standard hoka was the clifton and the only consideration on adjusting from another shoe would be to consider the stack height. However I agree rincon is now a goto shoe. It has almost as much cush, is lighter, very breathable (cliftons can get water logged over a longer run but there's no fabric on a rincon so it just doesn't happen. ATRs still a great bet for mixed road and trail though. Rincon ATR 😍😍😍 Make it happen sage! 🙌

[@skateskape]

Are you sponsored by Hoka?

[@happyhappy4649]

Giveaway dong

[@scatt1502]

Must be nice to be able to use shoes like that. I have very narrow feet and extremely limited on shoes I can use. Literally 3 models from one manufacturer that I can wear. Sure would be nice if manufacturers would take more effort to help!

[@RealRyanSecord]

Hoka is actually somewhat known for being narrow to most people's feet. Might I recommend trying the Hoka Rincon.

[@davidwagner3344]

Have never tried Hoka but will because of Sage. Don’t really like the look of this shoe though!

[@googlephone8353]

I see Seth is calling you out again on his vlog... took down your Mt Elbert FKT. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing you shut him down at pikes peak this year.

[@mattw785]

I'm a Hoka fan, not sure about the exaggerated heel...

[@JROPDX]

Do those things float? Might be able to walk on water in those. Uuugly 😂

[@ralphhancock7449]

The extended heel is wasted on you.

[@AlwaysTrain]

Weird colors weird geometry same cheap materials 😷

[@Encourageable]

Ed Gar cheap compared to what?

[@FatUglySadMan]

Can’t see point in this shoe if you are mid foot fore foot striker, looks ridiculous.

[@sebulban]

It'll ease the shock when running downhill... fore foot striking is quite difficult on downhill

[@Vo2maxProductions]

Most people (including myself) are heel strikers. That being said on a downhill contact happens more near the back often. Other than that I'd admit that a lot of the very back part of the heel is probably more for looks/aesthetics. It rides smooth!

[@sebulban]

Vo2maxProductions well I guess the striking position is related to speed. I have been thought that people are fore foot runners and heel walkers. Depending on the speed you’ll drop somewhere between..

[@RowOfMushyTiT]

@@sebulban Hoka is definitely more a mid to heel striker shoes maily cuz of the rocker (except some models like carbon rocket). And most people are indeed heel strikers. Vaporflys those are more forefoot striking shoes and the carbon plate keeps you on your toes more effortlessly.

[@cordeiropedro]

Look at the Vaporfly heal. Does that also look ridiculous? Do you known when Nike was developing one of their Vaporfly’s they removed a lot of the heal cushion to lose weight. All their top athletes that tested the shoe complained and ask to have the cushion back. (You can read about it on the web)I am also a front/mid foot striker but in real Long runs sooner or later you will start landing a bit behind.
