I work 12 hour shifts and have plantar fascitis. The cushioning in these shoes has really helped. We also wear hunter green scrubs and I have had numerous complements on how my shoes match my uniform.

I love these shoes! I run a lot and they are like running on clouds. Also, they are very light weight. If you stand a lot at your job these would be good for you.

I am not a runner, but I do walk for exercise. I wasn't sure about spending the money for a high-end runner's shoe, but after trying these on, I feel this is worth it! I thought my Keens were comfortably padded, but wearing these Hokas showed me there is another level of comfiness! These are like walking on a foam mattress, but there is still support for your foot. I look forward to walking in these and looking stylish with the nice pink color. These are still newish to the runners world as far as acceptance of the overthick sole, but for my purposes of comfortable walking and less impact to my knees, these will work for me. I like the pink color - it's not bright or neon, and adds a pop of color to a casual outfit or workout wear. As far as sizing goes, I highly recommend going to the Hoka One One website and using their sizing calculator. They will take the company and size you wear of your other non-Hoka athletic shoes and recommend the appropriate Hoka size for you. I was skeptical, but I plugged in my Keen size and Hoka recommended a 7.5 for these Cliftons. Now, I normally wear a 6.5-7 in my shoes, so I was dismayed to see they recommended a 7.5! I have never worn that size. But, I ordered my normal 6.5 and 7 to try, and did order the 7.5. Amazingly, the 7.5 fit the best, the others were too small and didn't leave enough room in the toe for length. The width of the shoe is fine, lots of room for socks, but not too much that your foot slides side to side. My foot is a medium width and lacing them snugly pulls the sides in to support my foot. Overall, good shoes, and they should last me a while - just walking shouldn't wear them out too fast, so I can rationalize the high price.

My wife loves this shoe. She loves the cushion and comfort these shoes provide. They run true to size for running shoes

I had been a devotee to Asics Gel Nimbus 17 but at some point I developed the plantar fasciitis. My heel would hurt whenever I put on the Gel Nimbus 17s to walk around town, etc. I hadn't read/heard any positive reviews for the Gel Nimbus 18s so I began a search for a new shoe. This brand was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I chose the Clifton 3 based on them being a neutral shoe with cushion. They are incredible! So lightweight and comfortable. I haven't returned to exercise class just yet but anticipate these will be helpful. The only thing I don't really like is that from the side view they look a bit like geriatric shoes due to the thick sole. At this point, I am more than willing to sacrifice fashion for comfort. I highly recommend.

This is my second pair of Hoka Cliftons and I absolutely love them. If you have any pain at all in your feet, the well-cushioned soles of these shoes helps relieve that pain. I won't run in anything else again.

Great overall distance running shoe. I started my Hoka experience with the Odyssey 2 and then tried the Clifton 2 after the Odyssey's wore out. When the Clifton 3 came out I decided to give them a try. I like them much better than the Clifton 2. The Clifton 3 have a slightly wider toe box and a little more overall cushion than the Clifton 2.

I have the Challengers, which I loved from the start. I am on my feet all day in the operating room and they were an instant success. These Cliftons needed a SLIGHT break-in time. Literally, just a few wear times and they felt fine. They are not a rocking motion like the Challengers. I wish they were, because I may even try to run in them! The color is super cute. Great buy for us medical providers!

LOVE these sneakers. I am a beginner jogger/walker. I felt like I was walking on pillow when I first put them on. They had so much extra then regular sneakers. These shoes seem to help my arch pain as well. Highly recommend these for ppl who need extra support or workout a lot. I have many back and spine problems so I know I needed special sneakers. There was plenty of toe room and the sneaker was light weight. I also tried the Mizuno Wave Inspire 12 & Mizuno Wave Rider 19. The Inspire 12 was my second choice but it was small on the toe room and didn't feel as supportive. I also had sized up on my Mizunos. Hoka One was true to size.

This shoe is EXCELLENT for two reasons: It is super lightweight, and it is well-cushioned. It's like a pillow for my feet. This shoe supports my arches well. I like the bit of height it gives me, but that's pure vanity.

The shoe is extremely comfortable. The heel, however, was too wide for me.

I had been looking for a cushy, supportive shoe for walking/workouts after a broken ankle and surgical repair. The hardware in my ankle made it uncomfortable to do any kind of impact exercise. I had never heard of this brand, but I am so glad I tried them!! I can walk for miles or do my Orange Theory workouts with no pain. These shoes are lightweight, supportive and have plenty of room in the toe box. I will probably buy more colors and be a Hoka One One fan for life.

Had a pair of the original Clifton. Saw reviews of Clifton two and I waited. Got my new Clifton Three and I LOVE them. I have a fused ankle and so shoes are hard to find. Hoka is the only shoes that are pain free for me.

Great shoe! With plantar fasciitis my daily walks with the dogs were hard. Not anymore. These shoes give me the support and cushion I need. I will definitely order a few more pairs. I find they fit true to size.

I'm new to the Hoka world. Now I'm a true believer. Wow! What a great shoe! Felt wonderful the first time I wore them. I'm a nurse so I'm on my feet a lot so I need a comfortable shoe. I hesitated at the price initially, but honestly they are worth the price. Wonderful product.

Before purchasing the Hoka One One Clifton 3 I searched Google for "best athletic shoes" and Hoka was listed #1. Since then several people have told me that their foot doctor had recommend Hoka for their feet (hammertoe, flat feet). I have fat flat feet, have tried numerous brands. These were the most comfortable "out of the box" that I have every worn. I love love love these shoes. Love the color selection also (I went with blue/lime)
