The Mach 5 doesn’t have any outsole rubber on its outsole: it only has rubberised EVA foam which wears down much faster than traditional rubber lugs. This increases the durability of the Clifton 9. On the outsole of the Clifton 9, there’s firmer, blown rubber on all the high wear areas. The Mach 5 doesn’t have the Meta-Rocker that the Clifton 9 has. This geometry helps to roll you through transitions which improves efficiency over long distances. The Clifton 9 has a rocker-shaped midsole which Hoka calls the Meta-Rocker. The Mach 5 has a slightly firmer ride with more energy return that’s better for shorter distances and faster paced runs. The Clifton 9 has a softer ride with deeper cushioning that’s more suitable for long runs and slow paced runs. The midsole of the Mach 5 is not as thick as that of the Clifton 9 but it still packs plenty of cushioning. The Mach 5 has a dual foam PROFLY+ setup with softer foam on the top layer and rubberised EVA on the bottom. It has plenty of cushioning for marathon distances and beyond. It has a soft ride but without the feeling of sinking into the foam. The Clifton 9 has a single density CMEVA midsole with a thick stack height.
