Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 5

A former runner, now just a fast walker. Still want the stability of a running shoe.

Amazing. Feels like your running on clouds.

Where them for work as a Nurse ....typically 10 hour shift! Passed on to colleges ! Everyone on the unit are buying gthe Shoe ! Everyone is thrilled!!

Love this as a training shoe with a bit more support to keep the PF away.

I bought this show as I have an issue with my left hammy and needed something to lessen the impact while I ran. I can double my mileage in these shoes - usually hamstring & adductor pain get in my way. I can definitely feel the impact of my step (I'm a heavy stepper both in walking and running) absorbed by the cushion. I love the shoe! Will probably only run in Hokas moving forward. The only cons I have with the shoe are: 1) because my left leg is my problem leg, naturally the soles of my feet are tighter on that leg, so when I walk with the hokas, I can feel the arch of the shoe on my left sole.. I do not feel it at all when I run 2) my feet are not exceptionally wide, but they are kinda wide so I do wish I bought this shoe in the wide size - however it's not too much of a problem and after breaking them in I don't have much issue with the width as long as I wear thin socks

Did not realize that the arch in my right foot was screaming in pain from lack of proper support. A specialty store in my area recommended this shoe to me and combined with the proper supportive, yet flexible insole, I have my life back. I am just 4 days into this purchase and have worn these shoes about 12 hours a day and have started to walk again; about 2 miles each day. I can feel my calves and arches adjusting and reformatting back to whee they should be. Some soreness, but for the right reason. Support your specialty shoes stores; they know best. I plan on buying many more pair.

I walk a lot in them with my dog and take trips with them too

I had a plantar fasciitis flare and these shoes are my savior

I work out almost every day and love to switch up my workouts. But I was finding that all my normal gym shoes would wear out quickly and my feet would hurt 15 minutes into my workout. I found HOKA and will never buy another brand for running or anything exersize related. I feel like I'm running on a cloud. Was a little nervous to make the final purchase because I think they're a little bulky looking, but I honestly don't care now that I have them because I love them so so much.I feel fully supported and love the cushion and width room.

Great shoe

I suffer from chronic knee and ankle pain. I've had surgery on both my knee and ankle and thought my marathon days were a thing of the past. While training for a recent marathon, old pain flared up and I was so upset. I went to my local running store and they suggested I try the Clifton 5. It was the best decision I have ever made. The pain disappeared, I actual got a little faster and I feel that my dreaded heel strike is not nearly as bad as it was before. This shoe is amazing and has and will keep me running distances for a long time!!!

These are my second pair of hocus. I absolutely love this brand and will never buy any other brand. I was getting over a stress fracture in my heel and these are the only shoes I could wear for about six months. They are super comfortable and very cushiony. I walked 8 miles in Boston last weekend. My foot never hurt. I absolutely love them!
