HOKA Clifton 10 | 2025's new favorite trainer?
The Clifton 9 was a favorite. But does the Hoka Clifton 10 deliver even more comfort and performance? Let’s dive in.
Hey — I'm Spencer
I've been running for 15 years.
That’s over a decade of early mornings, long runs, personal bests, bad races, and everything in between. Running has shaped the way I see the world — and now I’m building a place to share it all with you.
I work at a local running store, which means I get access to the latest shoes, gear, and fueling products every few weeks. And I don’t just unbox them — I run in them, train in them, and break them in before I ever write a word about them.
The Daily Stride is where I bring all of that testing, experience, and knowledge together.
What You'll Find Here:
Real-World Gear Reviews
Daily trainers, race-day shoes, trail shoes, recovery shoes
Running socks, insoles, recovery tools, watches, sunglasses
Electrolyte packets, gels, chews, bars, and hydration packs
Each review is from real runs. I’ll cover how gear feels after 5 miles, 50 miles, and beyond — including who it’s for, what conditions it works best in, and if it’s worth your money.
