ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 vs HOKA Clifton 10
Sqwod verdict
Dead heat: 83 vs 83. Your use case is the tiebreaker.
Both are strong: the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27: You coach runners who want maximum underfoot protection for easy days, long slow distance, or higher-mileage and heavier runners.
- HOKA Clifton 10: You coach easy-day and recovery clients who want maximum, protective cushioning in a stable neutral daily trainer.
ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27
83Score · Medium
from €129.90
A supremely comfortable, stable max-cushion daily trainer for easy miles: best bought on discount as the outgoing model.
HOKA Clifton 10
83Score · Medium
from €127.99
A plusher, more protective but heavier Clifton: an excellent max-cushion easy-day cruiser, not a fast shoe.
