These gotta be the BEST pair of sneakers I hve ever owned.It reminds me a little of the late MBT without the heavy weight. You really feel like walking in air and it makes me look taller too. love the comfort as I wlk a lot. 10 stars if I could.

This model has replaced the MBT as my favorite shoe - it's cushy, but still lightweight and stable. Cute colors too!

These felt great as soon as I put them on. The color choice is garish but I don't care, these shoes are the most comfortable walking shoe I have ever tried. They are light and cushioning. I have problem feet and thing this shoe will help me to walk again for exercise.

Love the Clifton 3 shoe! Great fit, wonderful support, true to size. So glad Hoka went back to the wider toe box. Might have to order another pair!

Finally coming back to what Hoka's used to feel like. Typically wear a 9.5 in most running shoes, felt just slightly shorter but kept the 9.5 as I think the 10 would not stay on my foot.

I have bad knees and these shoes have a lot of cushion and support. They are kind of bulky, but I prefer this level of comfort so I don't mind the bulkiness.

Very comfortable but didn't know how supportive they would be. Top felt loose.
I returned was too apprehensive to risk wearing them outside.Loved the color combo.

I love these shoes. I have always worn new balance because I need wide width and use custom orthotic. I have bunions and also frequent pain in forefoot area. I decided to try these since they seemed to have so much cushioning for my foot. I was hesitant since they were medium width. I ordered half a size larger. I love them and was thrilled they fit my wide foot. The cushioning and support feels awesome when walking and working out.

I have feet that are hard to fit after surgery quite a while ago. I have an Altra athletic shoe and love those. I have not tried this shoes but they had been recommended to me by my dr. I usually try to alternate my shoes so I will be wearing these around the house for fit. I always go up 1/2 size in athletic shoes and did the same with these. As always, Zappos delivers with such amazing service. By the way, I usually walk 4 to 5 miles a day for exercise so hopefully these will work.

I bought these on looks and price alone, never having tried Hoka One One shoes before. I will say they have a lot of cushioning, and I just got them and am still in the "trying them on inside on the carpet" phase, but I'm thinking they will have to go back. The toe box seems extra wide and long to me on everything except the big toe area, although overall the length felt true to size. The extra cushioning in the sole does make it feel like you are walking on clouds, but my biggest concern is that they seem to be throwing my heels back and to the outside. I am definitely a neutral walker/runner with no tendency to pronation or supination, but when I wear these, I feel my heels sink out to the sides just a bit. And I can feel it in my knees as well. If I try to stand straight I can, but the shoe tends to want to not let that happen. I do notice now, looking back at the product information, that this is listed as a neutral to underpronation shoe. The information also lists a wider fitting forefoot as well.
I'm also concerned seeing how many other reviews have mentioned that the rubber outsole does not last long. I wear my shoes as long as I can before my feet start begging for a new pair, so I don't want shoes that are going to wear out quickly. There is a nice little extra bit of padding at the heel along with a little loop on the outside back to help put the shoe on. The other drawback is that with the flatter and thicker sole, the shoe looks much bigger than my other shoes that are the same size. I will add the Blue Jewel/Neon Coral combination is fantastic!

This is my second pair of Clifton 3's and they are not as comfortable as the first. These have a narrower foot bed and sole. I measured them against my first pair and they are indeed narrower. Although the Hoka has the best cushioning I have found in a neutral running sneaker, the change in styling of the same model number is perplexing. Even with this change, the Clifton 3 provides unparalleled cushioning. Believe me I have tried ever brand out there and none of them come close to Hoka.

Wonderful cushioning ... and it just propels you forward; side to side is a teeny bit less stable. I loved the shoes, and the color, but my 7 was too narrow. And they don't offer wide in this model.

This is my first Hoka. I'm not a runner, but recovering from a bad foot injury (nerve damage, and sesamoid injured, DON'T ever let that happen to you!) These shoes are supposedly great for forefoot injury since they have a pretty stiff sole on the forefoot, so don't allow for too much toe joint bending on toe-off. I do think these are good for that. I also love the very thick soles (I'm taller!), but had to put my own orthotic in it (no shoes have enough arch support for this high-arched chick). My only real complaint is that the toe-box is a little narrow and snug for me. I don't have particularly wide feet, but I prefer a shoe that is very roomy at the toe box--I have a neuroma in the other foot, so I'm now aware of how most shoes are just too *@!# tight in the forefoot. I wish these shoes had the roomy forefoot area that Altra shoes have. If Hoka could do that, these would be perfect!

I was pleasantly surprised by these sneakers. They have to be the cushiest pair of shoes I have ever owned.

I will recommend these shoes for marathoners or who needs to run on concrete often. I have knee injuries and was able to finish a full marathon and many 10 miles + runs with minimum discomfort in my knees. They are lightweight but still bulky so you do sacrifice some speed in my opinion.

I was looking for a very well padded running shoe. HOKA appears to be the best on this issue. When you step down, you really feel the "cush" without sacrificing the support. The only downside I found was the width. The toe box is tight for someone with a B width foot. I may have to return the Clifton and try the Bondi by HOKA instead.

the toe box on these is a bit narrow as well as the foot area. I was looking for a shoe with a lot of space for my toes, bigger toe box, because I have metatarsalgia and I can't have pressure on the ball of my foot. I ordered the Altra torin 2.5 at the same time and kept those and sent these back. I did like the color and style, plenty of cushion just tight and narrow.

I love these shoes so much, the only negative I can say is they don't last long at all. I would say 4-6 months, at most. They flatten right away. That said, they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I run trails uphill and flat outside, but, even then, I think they should last longer. I tried the Stinson Hoka's (TOO tall and stiff) and also I'm trying the Speedgoat inside, but, none seem to match to the comfort of these so I may go back to the tried and true!

My previous running shoes were Brooks but I wanted to see if these had even more cushion - very bouncy and felt easy to run in. Super cushy, roomy toe box, cute color and style - very comfy shoes!
