Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 6

I ran or rode a bicycle for strenuous exercise for 25 years without missing a single day. However, I developed small fiber neuropathy in my feet 2 1/2 years ago which hurts 24/7 and cannot be relieved by any medical means. Weight-bearing, standing became very painful and Nike has to narrow a toe box and bike shoes just too tight and painful. Had a closet full of Nilkie"s which I had to throw out. A Podiatrist suggested I give HOKA a try and the salesperson suggested extra wide. I will always have foot pain but these shoes make walking for exercise and standing for prolonged periods possible which is vital in keeping the depression at bay. Since my Hoka's allowed me to start walking for exercise again I began working seriously on getting my mind right using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I tell myself again and again "the pain is not from tissue damage and therefore I can ignore it and continue." It has taken a very long time and immense effort but I now pretty much just put on my Hoka's, disregard the pain and walk for about one hour and enjoy the experience. I purchased the white carbon model, which does not come in wide but is a great looking shoe and works okay for me every so often. It would be nice if the Clifton 6 model was more attractive.

I like this shoe a lot and definitely recommend it, however, I must have received a defective pair or something. I've only had this shoe since October 2019 and the rubber outsole is beginning to separate from the cushioned portion of the lower. I wear these shoes pretty often, but just for casual wear around the house and what not. I have only ran in them a handful of times. Again, overall I am very pleased with the shoe from a comfort standpoint, I just am disappointed in the fact that they're falling apart with just a few months of light use.

I had heard good things about Hoka and the CLifton 6, so I thought I'd give the brand a try. I initially purchased the standard width of the shoe, but found they were quite narrow and my heels were landing on the guide rails on the outside of the shoe. I've never had owned a pair of wide shoes, but thought I'd give it a shot given the free exchange service. After trying the wider shoe, I found my feet were still landing on the guide rails. I also had discomfort on the arch of my foot which I haven't had in any previous running shoe I've owned. It seems these shoes are built for people with narrower feet with bigger arches than mine. I'm disappointed as I was looking forward to running in these. I'm giving 2/5 for the great exchange service and cool designs, but cannot get past the shoes not fitting my feet well.

The inner aspect of the insole is angled upward and not a smooth fit. I've never had this problem with running shoes before-- with this brand or others. I've seen others with similar complaints. Hoka needs to evaluate this design flaw.

Have enjoyed and relied upon Cliftons since knee surgery in 2013. I thought my running days were over until I found Hokas. Thank You!! Please don't ever retire that model!!

I have been using the Cliftons since Clifton 1. The changes have all improved my overall experience and these are no exception.

Great shoes. Easy feel right out of the box. Love the 2E for the wider feel

Going to the wide width made this a very comfortable fit. This shoe is comfortable and lightweight.
