Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 4

Loved the Clifton 3 so much had purchased 3 pair. Went back to get another 2 pairs and to my surprise they made the toe box wider, which was fine, but then the angle from the pad of the foot to the toe and to the top of the shoe...very severe and the depth is very small. so sad they changed it...change it back please

I have had the prior versions this shoe loved them. This sole much harder very disappointed

I have PF and bought these upon recommendations from several people. There is a learning curve to wearing them. I am gradually working towards the goal of making them my everyday shoe. It's tough going right now. Hope it works out.

I loved this shoe at first. It was great for preparing for my half marathon. For whatever reason, after my 10K the shoes started irritating my arch. The arch support in the shoe is a no-go. It's best to bite the bullet and buy the Bondi. Your feet will thank you later

Great cushion in the heel, but too stiff in the front.

I bought these for my 12 year old Daughter. She is highly academic & does not play in sports. Just 7th grade physical education. The soles started coming apart after only 6 months & these are not the only shoes she wears. Like most all products these days.... the quality continues to decline while the prices continue to increase !! Most especially if they are made in a country other than the USA !!!! I don't mind paying a ridiculous sum of money for something if the quality is worthy of the price !!!! I am also Frustrated as a woman with large feet , like so many others, that cant find (Womens) shoes larger than an 11. In addition the shoes sizes seem to universally be downsizing as I used to be able to find bigger sizes in certain brands , however now the same sizes & even 2 sizes bigger are too small now !! I am not the only one I encountered that has noticed this. Please make bigger sizes for women in wides & length !!

the toe box is to narrow for my wide foot even though I got the wide version. During long runs my toes would go numb and after I would have blisters on my big toes. Please bring back the Clifton 3!!!!

This is my third Clifton purchase. I've worn Clifton 2 and 3 and by far the Clifton 4 is the most narrow. It's so disappointing that the change is significant that I can notice the change. I'm hoping that after a few more runs the toe box will stretch, but I think it's unlikely. Hoka-Please don't change something when it's just right!! I also feel the arch is a little higher and I'm getting the dreaded blister in my arch which is something I always get when I wear the Clayton's. However, I feel the cushioning is good and I hope the durability hasn't changed.

Not a fan of the 4. I've run in 2s and 3s without issue, but the 4s feel like stability bricks compared to earlier versions. The curve (last) also seems to be more pronounced on the 4s, which is not a good fit for my foot.

If you want cushioned shoes with a very high arch, these are great. I ran on them for about a month, running 10+ miles a week. After 3-4 miles, my insoles got the worst blisters. These reappeared every run so I had to return them.

I really liked the shoes from the beginning better than the Clifton 3 which I found very wide for my feet. Sadly both models keep giving me blisters next to the bone on the inside of the foot... :( Bear that in mind if you have kind of a narrow foot.
