Our pick 
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.
Nike Pegasus 42
81Score · Medium
from €94.90
A dependable, well-built neutral daily trainer that nails comfort and durability but rides average — a safe workhorse, not an exciting one.
