Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 6

I’m a larger guy and have been running mainly in Nikes for the last year. The Zoom Fly and Epic Reacts have gotten me from zero through a marathon. I wanted something I could put miles in, that wouldn’t beat up my body. Did the research and decided on the Clifton 6’s. I feel like the sizing is accurate for me, a 14 feels like every other 14. The width is fine for my slightly narrow feet. I’ve been on a couple shorter runs and one long run thus far. I don’t notice the rocker at all. I have noticed extra strain in my ankles and calves during and after runs, but my feet, knees, and back love these shoes. I ran two hours one day (long for me at this point) and was able to hit a personal best back squat the next day. I’m going to keep them as my distance shoe and see how they do with multiple long runs in them.

The Clifton 6 is a noticeable improvement over the previous model. The toe box is roomier.And the cushioning feels more generous under the forefoot. It seems like Hoka has finally incorporated customer feedback, because these shoes reflect much more of what people loved about the Clifton's earlier models (as opposed to the 4 & 5). I use the Cliftons to run 10K once or twice weekly. The springiness in the Clifton 6 returns more energy, which actually improved my speed. I only wish they had more color options. Great shoe for anyone looking for a comfortable, cushiony ride.

I had been a moderate cushioned neutral runner my whole running 'career', mostly the Brooks Ghost and Saucony Ride series, with Mizuno Wave Riders for a racing shoe. In the past year I developed some heel pain and Achilles tendonitis, particularly in the right foot. I never dreamed of buying a pair of these modified walking boots (my nickname for them), but I tried them on in a store, and just had to have them. The plan was to use them for my long outdoor runs to help remedy my foot problem. Super plush, lots of underfoot protection. Not the fastest shoe, since this level of cushioning bleeds off your thrust and efficiency, but they are super light. Most importantly, I can finish a 10-12 mile run in these, and my feet still feel pretty fresh. Very well protected. Working these into my shoe rotation has helped me recover enough that my weekly mileage has returned to what it was over a year ago. Not the most attractive shoe with that thick slab of foam, but running in them has a therapeutic quality to it. Super comfortable ride.

I bought these in my true size of 12 EE and quickly returned them since I felt the top of my arch was being pressed down even with the laces done widely apart. That might be from the webbed design that this new model has over the older Clifton models. The toe box was also not right for me (too constricting) as well as strangely shaped inwards but for some reason, the length was ok. Odd. Zappos did not have a 12 1/2 so I bought that somewhere else. After three days of those Hoka Clifton 6's, I had to return them also since they literally destroyed my feet. My Plantar Fasciitis which I have not felt in 10 years of wearing Asics came back with a vengeance, as well as the slight Metatarsalgia that I have also forgotten about. This is due to the fore foot not having enough room to splay your toes correctly and not having any support for the Metatarsal region. I suppose the rocker mid sole that these shoe are known for are doing this. Bad design for me. I learned my lesson. I could only imagine if I put up with the discomfort any longer in order to "break these in". Also, these sneakers are advertised as "neutral" which is why I bought them in the first place but I found that the inner soles were slightly high as opposed to the outer parts of the soles that I was standing slightly uncomfortably bowed. I would NOT recommend these for anyone that has arch problems, Metatarsalgia, arthritis or Morton's Neuroma problems of any sort because these sneakers will only make those conditions much worse. They have absolutely no extra room to put your own orthotics in and only make the overall constricting feeling worse on your toes and arches. I fell for the advertising. This new model is supposed to be the roomiest most comfortable of the whole Hoka One One line and I've seen some Foot Doctors actually recommending these because of the cushioning. The overall cushioning IS good I do admit, if that is what you are looking for, but Hoka is off my list for good.

I often wear a 10.5 but the 10 was on target so others may think about moving half size down or order both sizes and test at home. I have been running with these new shoes for nearly two months and still love the shoe. My previous shoe was a Nike Zoom Odyssey 2. I really liked them but a good friend suggested I try the Hoka brand. Glad I did. These shoes with all the cushioning are still lighter than the Zooms. I'm 70 years old and these shoes are just what I need to keep me on the trails. One concern was that the extra layers would lead to wobbly ankle twists but no issues. I'd buy another pair. I did enjoy the Hoka website and shoe description of the different running shoes. I chose two that sounded like me and picked the Clifton 6.

After spending money wasted money on those Nike brand sneakers, these Hoka one on one Clifton 6 design is on point.I will never go back to any other brand that's for sure.

Comfortable shoe. Bought the wide, but Hoka's seem to be wide enough without getting the wide. Not as much cushion as the Bondi 6, but still ample cushion. I wear with inserts. Hoka inserts seem to be very thin with no structure (if that matters to you).

I love Hokas, but getting ones that fit is always problematic. I wear a 10.5 running shoe but my toes feel crunched in Clifton 10.5. So I bought 11's with medium width (I have always been medium width for shoes). These are WAY too narrow all around, especially at the arch and toe box. Am returning these to try 10.5 Wide and see if that works.

I usually run a size 12 on the Cliftons but I wasn't loving them, so I stepped up to a 12 1/2 . and they are PERFECT! Love the new color and style. They feel softer and lighter.

It was perfect fit, most comfortable shoe I ever ran in. I would definitely buy again. Expensive, but worth the money!

I enter into google "BEST MENS SNEAKER" GOOGLE GAVE ME THIS SHOE AND SINCE I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT, I TRUSTED THE GOOGLE COMMENT! This shoe is built for someone who is less than 125 pounds in weight and likes to bounce or bottom out with each step that you would like to take. so much so that after wearing them for less than 1 minute you could sense that there was so much sole in the back of the shoe that after taking a step you were so far off balance that it gave you the sensation that you were going to fall back words. I my estimation they are for an individual under 125lbs who like to pronate while bottoming out. BUT THEY ARE EYE CATCHING. DESIGNERS DON'T READ THE WORLD IS OBESE ! In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight. Of these over 650 million adults were obese. In 2016, 39% of adults aged 18 years and over (39% of men and 40% of women) were overweight. Overall, about 13% of the world's adult population (11% of men and 15% of women) were obese in 2016. DESIGN A SHOE THAT IS FUNCTIONAL NOT FOR SKINNY PEOPLE ONE FOR THE MAJORITY AND YOUR MARKET WILL SKYROCKET.

This is my 2nd pair of Hoka sneakers , My Podiatrist recomended Hoka sneakers.The size and width was true to my first pair which made it easy for me to order on line. Zappos was great the web site was easy to navigate and the speed of delivery was fantastic. I have searched many web sites looking for Hoka sneakers to no avail and was surprised to see the variety. Zappos has made my life easier.

I LOVE this shoe. Sometimes you purchase something and just can't say enough good about it...this is that for me. Not pretending to know how they would function for you serious runners. I walk a few times a week (maybe 2-3 miles each time) and just wanted something with cushion to replace my old New Balance. Bought this Clifton 6 model with just some minimal research. They are like walking on air and the lightest shoe I've ever held (9oz.). Ordering a second pair for everyday because my feet and knees feel so much better when I wear them.

Fits true to size. I generally prefer a solid gray but can’t find one right now in the 6th generation. The hokas are definitely the most comfortable shoe on the market and I’ve tried them all.

My son is using this shoe for track and he loves it! He said they are so comfortable, and he loves running in them!

I love these shoes! The fit is perfect, and they are extremely comfortable during my 1-hour walk each morning. Thank you!

I liked these so much I came back for a second pair. With other brands I would normally get a 4E but Hoka's 2E works for me. Plenty of cushioning but still surprisingly lightweight. Not as bulky and clunky as some other maximalist shoes.

I bought these for my husband. I happen to really like Hokas. He was afraid, as he had not tried them on, that they would not fit. They are a perfect fit! He really appreciates the comfort as the soles are so thick. Great for speed walking outside and on the treadmill.

Second time buying these. They fit really well and are light as expected. In black they don't look too much like just running shoes, so if you're wearing them for more general use due to orthopedic issues, they look nice. I wear them year round-although they are not warm. I can fit thicker socks on and that works for where I live.

Husband, a runner, gives these shoes highest rating. Returned to wear only Hoka after many, many other sneakers and shoes to gain foot comfort. Highly recommends and only wish they also made kids sizes!

These shoes are perfect for my needs. I had to return to get a wide, otherwise they were a little tight. Zappos support is the best I have ever worked with!! Prompt responses and friendly!

I love these shoes! I have a very wide left foot and the 2E works because of the material stretches just enough. Great support and balance and lots of heel cushion. great look, comfort, and style! I own two pairs!
