Is the Clifton 9 good for beginners?

Yes. It is a neutral, well-cushioned daily trainer that suits new runners building easy mileage. Runners who want ground feel or speed work should look at firmer, lighter shoes.

How does it compare with the Clifton 8?

The Clifton 9 adds more foam underfoot and is slightly lighter than the Clifton 8, with a revised upper. The ride stays soft and neutral, so it is an easy upgrade if you liked the 8.

What is the drop and weight?

It has a 5 mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 7.2 oz in the women's version. Stack height is roughly 1.1 inches at the heel.

Does it come in wide widths?

Yes, it is offered in normal and wide widths. Sizes run from US 3 to 15 depending on the colorway.

No. The knit and mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, and there is no Gore-Tex version of this model.

The best new price seen is $80.10 at KOAD'CLO as of November 7, 2026, with 8 stores listing it new. Prices on older Clifton colorways tend to fall when a new version launches.
