Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 6

I have Hallux Rigidus with a bone spur in my left foot and need the wide width to avoid discomfort (or being totally unable to wear the shoe) . These shoes are just barely OK for my condition. They could have a wider toe box in the wide size. I have found the Bondi model more to my liking as far as width.

I purchased these shoes for work, they are comfotable but I recommend you buy a half size down. I purchased my regular size and now after a few wears they are a little big

The initial performance characteristics of these shoes are excellent. After 30-40 training cycles the ultralight compound used in the shock absorbing sole begins to progressively diminish. From there It's linear and discernable. So value wise a great shoe for a short time. Hence the qualifier "Expensive".

Extremely comfortable and has helped me tremendously. However you sent me an all black sneaker vs the white sole. Thanks

I have never owned Hokas but saw these on sale and my son loves Hokas so I took a chance. Nice shoes but the arches were too high for my feet. I returned them.

Clifton 6 are good shoes but they are not that great. I have been wearing them for 2-3 weeks but the fit is not the same as Brooks or ASICS. Over the years I have had many pair of ruining v shoes and so far these are the least favorite. They have good cushion but they are not lighter compared to other brands I have owned. This would be my first and last Hoka. Your mileage may vary. Good luck

Love the shoe but they squeek beyond tolerable - why is this? People do not want me to wear them

After a few days of wearing the cliftons my knees starting hurting to the point that I had to take them off at work(I work in a hospital) might try a different model but I have doubts

I'm a Clifton disciple. I've run on Cliftons since the original. The four "throwback" Cliftons 1 I bought a year ago are all pulverized and new ones are no longer available. I bought a pair of 6's, and wow, what a difference several design "updates" make. The 6's are too heavy (even 2 ounces heavier than the Clifton 5), and they seem to be designed to tear the flesh off of one's foot. Since I'm a sockless runner (don't blame my experience on socks), and a few scratch points come with the territory, but the entire interior (tongue twister!) of this shoe is a nightmare of what feels like broken glass and concertina wire. I'm a true size 10 and I'm aware how to properly lace up - but out of the box and a jog simply around the block I knew that my future would be bloody. There's just no reason for new shoes to physically draw blood in five different places. These are going back today. I love my Rincons, though. Maybe I'll drop $180 for the Carbons to see if they can be my everyday trainer. Dear Hoka One One - please make a zillion more "throwback" Clifton 1s. Even the 2-5's worked for me - I ran thousands of happy miles on them for a decade, and told all my friends about them. The Clifton 1 was the shoe that brought me to you, and these "updates" and flashy forays (like the Edge) are making me want to take our relationship to a marriage counselor. You alienate when you mean to innovate.

After less than 40 miles. The sole is separating from the midsole. Barely any wear and falling apart. For the price these should last considerably longer. These are great feeling shoes but if they don't stay together i will go for another brand.

This shoe is very close to the Clifton 3 in terms of weight and feel, but even the 2E 'Wide' version has a sole that is a couple mm narrower than the Clifton 3. When they specify "Wide", apparently the sole is no wider, only the toe box. I sent mine back to exchange for the regular width. 2E Wide would be great for walking and casual use, but not for running fast, for me. I'm grateful I still have a a pair of brand new Clifton 3s and one cherished new pair of Clifton 1 reissue. I wish they would keep reissuing the Clifton 1s !!! Tip: use a liquid product called Shoe Goo to improve the lifespan of your shoes. It has preserved my cherished Clifton 1s for much longer than they would have otherwise lasted. Also, I see the new Clifton's are getting heavier again. BAD!

I love the cushion and spring in the shoe but there simply isn't enough room up front. Wide shoes aren't the same as a foot shaped toe box ... need a foot shaped shoe.

The craftsmanship is great. They are just not as comfortable as I expect from Hokas. I get foot pain around the balls of my feet.

I probably put about 350-400 miles into this shoe by using it as a daily trainer. I did everything from long runs to interval workouts in this shoe and it did great. However, the one issue I had was that the inside of the shoe was unbearably uncomfortable for longer efforts. There is this rigid piece of foam sticking up on the inside of the shoe that the arch of my foot rubs against. This issue prevented me from using the shoe as much as I wanted to because I needed to let the blister on the arch of my foot heel before I could use them again. Please get rid of that rigid piece of foam along the arch. The shoe is great otherwise and I would love to get another pair with a more comfortable arch.
