I'm looking for recs on an alternative to Cliftons. Been running in them for 3 years now but want something with better energy return, hopefully same amount of cushioning. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Try Asics Novablast 2 or Skecher Maxroad 5. More energy return than the cliftons.

I’ll second the Novablast 2 recommendation. It’s a really good shoe.
I’ll throw in Nimbus Lite 3
The Hoka Mach is supposed to be more responsive.

I'll third the Novablast 2.
The new Saucony Ride. The new ones sit down like the "bucket seat" thing from hoka and they have a lot more foam than previous versions
Also Novablast.
I like Cliftons but the foam seems to change in quality dramatically after a 100 miles or so. haven't tried newer ones though
The Hoka Mach is a nice option. So is the Novablast 2. However, I feel like the Invincible is the king of cushioning and energy return.
