Hoka Clifton 9 vs Nike Pegasus 41

Draft / model fit: Offsets are editorial. Read each model guide and retailer policies.

Different brands — charts and lasts both matter. Clifton 9 is labeled True to Size (True to size). Pegasus 41 is True to Size (True to size).

Clifton 9 is a TTS daily Hoka for most runners, sometimes feeling a touch snugger than Bondi in the forefoot. Use wide if needed. Length tricks are rarely required when width is chosen correctly.

Pegasus remains Nike’s everyday trainer benchmark and typically fits true to size in length. Choose width options if you need them rather than guessing with length. Good baseline for comparing other Nike runners.

Use the table below as a starting point from fit offsets — then confirm with try-on or returns. Width can matter more than length between these two.
