Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 4

I love the Clifton 4's. I went through 2 pair of 3's (loved them) and have put 75 miles on my 4's so far. I waited to review because of all the lower ratings but I do not see why. They're more comfortable than the 3's and I do not notice that they are half an ounce heavier. Half an ounce is 2 quarters and a dime.

Running

This is my first time trying HOKA ONE ONE shoes, and I'm glad I did. I obviously haven't tried the previous versions of this shoe, so can't compare there; but, I do run quite frequently and typically wear New Balance or Brooks. These are by far the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn. I ran 4 miles today and while I typically have a little knee and heel pain on both sides, today I had none on my left side, and a faint pain in my right knee. I could definitely see mysef getting attached to these shoes!! Thanks.

Comfortable fit

I love the shoe. Might be a bit heavier that the 3 but overall I feel it to be able to last longer with more miles.

I purchased this product specifically for long distance training; specifically runs over 10 miles up to marathon distance. I really like the cushioning and feel of this shoe. The toe box might be a smidge narrow, as i developed a blister on the inside aspect of my big toe, but since then all is well. I would definitely buy again.

I run 3 to 4 times a week with the Clifton 4's. I also wear them to the mall, and wear them to work on Fridays for casual day. They are comfortable, and sturdy.

Great fit and comfort

I have bad knees and wanted a shoe that had good cushioning for mainly walking. I intended on buying another brand but tried my Clifton 4's on in the store. They were more comfortable with less pounding on the pavement than the others so I bought them. I did buy a 1/2 size larger and they fit perfect. I've had them 3 weeks now and the knee pain has gone away. The modified rocker and soft sole are the reason. I don't think I'll buy any other brand again.

I wear a size 10 Nike Free and a size 10 Hoka fits well. There is only SLIGHTLY more room in length. Not enough for me to need a 9.5. Take it for what it's worth. Love the shoes.

Feels great. This is now my favorite running shoe

I just got my first pair of Hokas... the Clifton... and they're awesome. Great cushion, very comfortable.. it's like walking on kinda firm pillows. I think I'm hooked!

They feel great, most comfortable tennis shoe I have had.

This running shoe is absolutely fabulous. The design is awesome, has a unique feel, and is very comfortable. For the size I don't think they weigh much at all. I felt like the shoe kept springing me forward while I was running. Definitely will be sticking with Hoka for a while.

I do a lot of research on shoes and this is my fifth different running shoe this year. I've struggled searching for the perfect marathons shoe for me. I'm over 100 miles into my new Hoka One One Clifton 4s and I absolutely love them. I think I've found the shoe I'm going to wear during my first full marathon in San Antonio this December.

This shoe was comfortable right out of the box. Super support and cushion all day. Definitely recommend.

I have horrible feet and knees and have been searching for a shoe that provides a comfortable, cushioned ride. The Clifton 4s (and predecessor Clifton 3s) are light years ahead of other shoes on this front.

I heard about Hoka's through a friend who observed how many marathon/ultra runners wore them. I had struggled with nagging leg injuries in my last marathon so I thought I'd give em a try. Wow! I honestly didn't know how much difference a shoe could make. I had always been fitted with good quality running shoes but the Clifton 4s are in a class all by themselves. Light, comfortable, cushy but at the same time responsive. I run crazy fast in them and my legs still feel fresh. Love em!

I purchased the Clifton 4 and the discounted Clifton 3 around the same time. On the Clifton 3 I had to get a size 11 to fit the width of my foot. Since the Clifton 4 now comes in a wide I got that shoe in a 10.5. It is noted that the wide is just a little bid wider which is good because I never really though of myself as having wide feet. It is the only shoe I have ever got in a wide bit for the Clifton 4 it fits perfect. If your other Hoka shoes fit snugly and you are like me and you really don't consider yourself to have wide feet just get the wide in the Clifton and it will fit. Let's compare the Clifton 3 vs the 4. First of all, my comparison is for walking only as I am not a runner. I just want cushy comfortable shoes. So I am comparing brand new 3's and 4's. For walkers the 4 is hands down more cushy and comfortable than the 3. Both have good cushion in the heel but the 4 has better cushion throughout the entire length of the sole. The 4 has better cushion in the mid foot area and also more cushion down by the toes. The 4 also molds to the foot better where the 3 feels like it squeezes more to the foot so the sides and upper are better on the 4. I paid full price for the 4's and got the previous model 3's discounted. Let me tell you it is worth the extra money to have the 4's.

.The "original" Clifton was remarkably comfortable. Then since it was not broken, Hoka One One decided to "fix it" (think "New Coke" if you are old enough to recall that fail) via the Clifton 2 (oops) and the Clifton 3 (closer). The Clifton 4 got it right!!! As comfortable as the the original, seemingly better/sturdier constructed, better colors ... Hoka One One finally nailed it. Thanks folks.

I am a long time Nike shoe person looking for a better running shoe. Nike shoes fore me are starting to get a little bit narrow for me. And wanted to get something that was a bit more comfortable in the toe box and a bit more cushioning. So these will be my first pair of hokas and will not be my last. The fist thing I said after trying these shoes on for the fist time was oh my god the cushioning. These are probably the most cushioned shoes I have ever worn in my life. Plus they are wide enough for my toes unlike my nike's. I Like nike's zoom air but I just love the cushioning in these shoes hand down. I will definitely be buying a second pair of these to back up my first ones in a few short weeks. You can call me a hoka convert.

I bought this for street running, they are great. I'm a pronator and I use and spenco total support insoles and this shoes are the best. I have nothing wrong to say besides they looks good.

I use these shoes for walking daily and out and about. They are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I wear a 12 wide and are true to fit for my feet. I have two pair of Arahi 12 wide which I have enjoyed wearing but for me the Clifton 4 feels and looks better. Looking forward to purchasing another pair in the near future.

Great shoe for training and races. Feels better then Clifton 3, but just a tad heavier. Overall, good cushioning and responsiveness.
