With Clarks’ reputation for combining comfort and style, we’re excited to see this slide in their lineup. On the other hand, the outsole of the Clifton only has rubber on the high wear areas with plenty of exposed midsole foam which results in a lower level of durability.The platform may make them difficult to pack. This makes the Pegasus extremely durable and abrasion resistant. On the outsole of the Pegasus is lots of hard, durable rubber with very little exposed midsole foam. Your foot also sits inside the midsole and the midsole edges are raised to form rails to help keep your foot centred. Stability is better in the Clifton because it has a wider midsole base so there is less lean bias. The air bag can also be felt underneath the forefoot which some runner may find to be lumpy. In the Pegasus, there is a difference in density between the heel and on the forefoot.
The midsole is single density and the ride is more uniform. Ride transitions in the Clifton are much smoother than in the Pegasus because of the absence of an air bag. It possesses more long distance comfort than the Pegasus but comes with a speed penalty. Long runs are much more enjoyable in the Clifton because of its thick midsole and deep cushioning. There is no air bag inside the midsole of the Clifton so it is not as responsive as the Pegasus and not as good at tempo efforts. It also has an air bag in the heel for extra cushioning. The air bag provides an extra pop on toe off which makes the Pegasus very responsive. Inside the midsole of the Pegasus is a large Zoom Air unit situated in the forefoot. The Clifton is best suited to easy or recovery runs because your foot sinks down into the soft midsole. The midsole of the Clifton is made of spongy EVA foam which is super soft. This makes it more versatile than the Clifton and able to handle easy paces as well as tempo paces better than the Clifton. The midsole of the Pegasus is made of durable React foam which doesn’t compress all that much so it has a medium firm midsole density.
