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.
