Hoka Clifton vs. Hoka Huaka:

At the beginning of the summer, the battle for sales supremacy between these two shoes began.  Since they arrived in July, we’ve sold 12 more pairs of Cliftons.  If we included the Clifton in the Top7 lists this month, it would have been second for men and first for women.

In December, another notable shoe showdown will begin: Altra Lone Peak 2.0 vs Altra Superior 2.0.  In January, we have the Hoka Huaka vs. Hoka Challenger ATR to look forward to.
