Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 6

Toe box is kinda narrow. But I love these shoes

I stopped running years ago due to bad knees and back. I had actually gotten away from working out completely. A couple of months ago I decided to get back in shape. I had a pair of Saucony's and tried to run in them. I ran about 1/4 mile and my knees pain was excruciating. I couldn't even walk much more than 1/2 mile. I've been working out on an elliptical machine, but it'snot the same as a good run.. I did some research and decided to get a pair of Clayton's last week. I figured at least I may be able to walk. The first day, I walked pain free and I felt so good I ran for a few minutes. Today I ran 15 minutes with no pain. I know for you serious runner's 15 minutes is nothing, but for me it is a big deal. I have now set goal of 45 minute runs.

I've owned 3 different pairs of Hoaks, 2ea. Bondi's and one Clifton, I'm on their web site because I'm shopping for a second pair of Clifton's. So far I've logged over 1,000 miles on those 3 pairs - on asphalt, gravel and even in the snow and ice. Overall they wear like iron but provide a very comfortable and consistent feel throughout their scheduled life (I'm getting about 450 miles per). The sole cushion does it's job, and if you find yourself running on gravel or the shoulder of the road a lot, that extra cushion will pay huge dividends.

I've struggled forever to find a pair of great running shoes. I have been a Brooks Ghost guy for years and was looking for something a little easier on the legs. I'm a 6'0" 200 pound runner so I'm far from the lightest runner. These shoes are lightweight, but offer a ton of cushioning. I got the wide and I still think they could be wider, but with playing around on the lacing it works just fine. I have Metatarsalgia in my foot so I wear a special insert there, but these are amazing. I'm training for a half marathon and these are perfect. WILL buy again and stick to Hoka products in the future.

Resolved my plantar issues and the most comfortable shoes that I own!

Let me add my voice to the chorus singing the Clifton 6's praise. I wanted to run longer distances but my knees couldn't take it in the racing flats I usually wear. Proper form, even as a forefoot runner, just couldn't reduce my knee pain against the backdrop of long distances and hard, unforgiving road. I tried the Rincon, too, but that was unexpectedly too squishy in the forefoot, tiring my legs. I never thought that a 10+ oz. shoe like the Clifton 6 could be exactly the plush and firmness, at 145 lbs, that I needed. I've since been running nearly everyday in these and it hasn't slackened my form. In fact, because I'm able to run more times a week and with ever lessening pain, my form is actually getting better -- more relaxed and efficient. The Clifton 6 are definitely the shoes to get if you want to run, actually want to run, as opposed to running, getting sidelined with injury, and giving up running altogether.

These are super comfortable and lightweight. I've run a marathon and tons of others runs in them and love them!

I got these as a recovery shoe, to wear after hiking, or running long durations. I would wear them the next day as well. They worked like a dream. I felt as if I was walking on the clouds. In fact, they were so comfortable I began wearing them as my daily use shoes when out and about. I've even went jogging in them. Lots of compliments on how white they are.. Not one complaint here. Looking to get a more grey color eventually. Hoka fan for life.

I have been running for over forty years in many different brands of shoes through out the years but exclusively Hokas the last five or six years. I have never ran in a better mor comfortable shoe than my Clifton 6's.

I use my shoes for working out. I've had good luck with the other pairs I own from Hoka.

Mostly running on pavement
