Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 4

I love how responsive and cushioned these shoes are. I had Clifton 3s, purchased last year, and liked them. I think these are a better model.

Hoka comfort and cushion with great fit!

This is my first pair of HOKA shoes. When I put them on in the store, they felt like magic.....and they still do.

I have been distance running for 35 years and can say indisputably that the Clifton 4's are my favorite shoe ever. I tried the Clifton 3's and -even though I do not have a wide foot- found the toebox to be way too narrow. I had blood blisters on the sides of numerous toes by the third mile of their inaugural run and returned them. But the ride was so comfortable that I gave the Clifton 4's a try since I heard this issue had been addressed. It has. (And I bought the regular width- not the wide.) After a few weeks of wear I still marvel at how great my feet and legs feel on my runs - even the 20-milers. I had wondered if the adjustment from a shoe with a high heel-to-toe drop (Brooks Ghost - which I still think is a great shoe) to a low drop would be uncomfortable - but it hasn't been an issue. And the shoes are incredibly light. Great cushioning but very responsive - not at all mushy. I've read that some people find the arch to be too high. It is higher than other shoes. But I always replace the standard inserts in my running shoes with inserts that have very thick rubber arch supports and I found that I still can use these in my Hokas without rubbing or discomfort. My arches are probably even happier for the extra support. I'm not sure how long the thin rubber treads will last- I'd like them to be a little thicker. But I've put over 200 miles on the shoes and they're still going strong. With free return shipping after a month of test-wear - you can't go wrong giving the Clifton 4's a try, and you might even find your new favorite shoe. For reference- I'm a 45 y.o. female, 5'4", 118 lbs, 3:20:00 marathon, 1:29:40 HM.

I purchased the Clifton 4 through Army/Air Force Exchange. This is my first pair of Hoka and I love them. I did try a pair on a few years ago, but they were too big and wide. The Clifton 4 is a perfect fit. I was worried about the fit, after reading reviews about short length. I compared the size chart to the running shoes I currently wear, and decided to go with a size 8 women's. My usual runners are 8.5 B. I used all factors to decide: 6 men's, 40 E.U. which is comparable to half size larger in other brands. Some reviews recommend going a half-size up and I suggest reading Hokas size chart to make your decision. Anyhow, I took them out for a short run, out of the box, and they feel super. I'm getting used to the cushioning and like them a lot.

I am a nurse and am on my feet (on concrete floors) for 8hrs a day! This shoe feels like I am walking on air! It's light weight and has the support that I need! I have a heel/bone spur and this shoe provides comfort all day long! I will most certainly order this product again! N

I am added running to my workout routine again for the first time in several years. The Hoka running shoes makes all the difference. I love them and am on my third pair. This is my first pair of Clifton 4's and so far my absolute favorite!

As a power walker with Morton's Neuromas I look for shoes with great support and cushioning. When my Clifton 3's got too soft, the Clifton 4 provided the right subtle shifts in design to keep me on the road logging the miles I wanted without pain.

Super comfortable and I like the way it looks too!

Running daily in these shoes!!

True to size and great fit. Comfortable on day one

This was a gift for my girlfriend. Home Run!!!

Didn't think the Clifton 3 could be improved, but these are great. Light weight, comfortable. I use these for dog walking and are my every day shoes. My feet haven't had any problems since I started to wear Hoka one one shoes. I do add arches to them, but that's my feet needing a bit more. I don't wear any other brand of shoes any more.

These shoes feel as if i am running on clouds. My running coach recommend me switching to Hoko Cliftons for my plantar fasciitis. The day my shoes came in the mail I rushed out for a run and my FEET felt amazing. I didn't have any pain in my feet or calves as I usually do. These sneakers are light and have great support/cushion for distance running. I am very happy that I have starting wearing Hoko Cliftons.

I workout hard and since turning 40 have had a slew of foot issues. 4 years later and $500 orthotics later I kicked the fasciitis but still had exceeding foot pain. Since I got these shoes I can run pain free and the pain the following day is so much less! I'm thrilled with these clouds hugging my feet and grateful I can still go get it!

Absolutely love the Clifton 4. Nice roomy toe box. Breathable mesh. In love with the new design.

I do a lot of high intensity workouts with jumping, running and weight training. These shoes are supportive with great cushion, also extremely comfortable.
