Reviewed at HOKA ONE ONE
I started just getting back into running about a year ago due to a back injury. My doctor said that I needed a high support shoe, and I was fitted to the Hoka Cliftons. These shoes are AMAZING and have the maximum cushion. The only thing that I have noticed is that after walking in them I sometimes get blisters on the back of my heels. This may just be because of how I come down on my arch, but it only happens with walking. Other than that, I couldn't complain and recommend these to ANYONE.

I bought these for my daughter and all she could add is that "I love Them! I am a nurse and it is so important to have shoes that can support the time spent on my feet" :)

I'm used to wearing Brooks almost exclusively but decided on these Hoka's for their color choices. Fit good right out of the box. I usually size up half a size on any athletic shoe but based on the reviews I stuck to my typical 7.5's. Glad I did!

My podiatrist recommended Hoka to me to give me more arch support for long distance walking and mild hiking. This show is very comfortable and feels great on my foot. I've worn it for 3-4 mile walks and it's been great! It does, as others have mentioned, have an especially short tongue and the laces are too slippery. If they fixed these 2 things this would be the ultimate shoe! I would like to try other styles- it would be very helpful to if I could do a search and pull up all the styles that offer high-arch support instead of having to open the stats on every style. Overall, very happy with my shoes- thank you HOKA!

I should have read reviews before ordering. These sneakers run 1/2 size big- at least that was the case for me. I almost ALWAYS wear a 7, but there was too much room in the toe area. Unfortunately they were sold out of the 6 1/2 in the black. Nice looking sneakers, and love the support. Will try again!

I usually wear an 8 in running shoes, and that’s what I ordered. I think the 7.5 would have been completely fine<

Best.running shoes. ever. As an avid runner who loves long distance, I struggled for so many years with foot problems due to high arches/bony heels. HOKA Clifton 6 were recommended to me when I began working at a running superstore, and I thought I would give them a try. I simply can't believe I went so long without every hearing about them or trying them! Great cushion, lightweight, hugs my foot in all the right places, and no foot injuries! You know a shoe is a keeper when you can forget they are on your feet while clocking in the miles. The Cliftons are so much better than the Bondi, due to the fact that they are significantly more lightweight. The ONLY caveat, and why I didn't give them 5 stars, is because as they are being broken in, I get a nasty blister on the inside of each foot, near the first metatarsal and the ball. This may be because the shoes were have a size too big (I initially got 7s when I am a 6.5 in street shoes), the nature of the shoe due to width (I have narrowish feet) or the insole being too stiff. Once the shoes are broken in/my feet have adjusted, I have no problems. I waited til I had gone through one pair before writing this review; I wore my Cliftons for about 5 months (I am not sure on the exact milage but I wore them very regularly) and they are very durable. I will FOR SURE be purchasing Cliftons again.

I was so excited about these, unfortunately I bought the wrong size and was too impatient. My grandmother has a brand new pair of Hokas free of charge ? can’t wait for my next pair!

i usually wear an 8 so had to return the first pair and the 7.5 fit perfectly. I took a 2.5 mile walk in them and they were super comfortable. I got them because I will have to go back to the hospital for 12 hour shifts during the COVID issue and I knew my feet couldn't take that! I am hoping the provide me with a comfortable shift!! So far they feel amazing and supportive. I sure will give them the 30 day trial and return if they don't hold up!

Order your normal street shoe size. However, I have very high arches and do not naturally pronate when I walk/run. These shoes hurt my knees because they felt like they were forcing me to pronate inward when I walked/ran in them. However they were super cushiony and comfortable when standing.

Great cushioning and support. My regular shoe size is 7.5 but I always upsize for running shoes. Ordered an 8 as my previous Cliftons were and 8. However, the 8 was too small - my toes were hitting at the front when running.

Fit was good and true to size. However, the color was a bit more turquoise than I anticipated but definitely still a very nice looking shoe!

Super lightweight. Super comfy when walking. Jogged on pavement in them but not a fan of the transition. The mega cushioning at the midsole felt too noticeably uneven to me, like my step was missing my heel and toe completely. Of course both were making contact with the ground, but that’s just how it felt. My favorite shoe has forever been ASICS gel nimbus but the last few models have changed heel support and toe box width so I’m searching for a new favorite; loved the roomy toe of this Clifton especially with an insert/orthotic. I’ve always worn an 8 but was told that with the arch support orthotic I might size up but I ordered an 8 in the Clifton and it was perfect. Great shoe, just not the “feel” I prefer.

So happy I sized down a half size as other recommend. I wear orthotics and they work perfectly with these. I barely feel them on my feet. I purchased the light aqua and they are so cute. I have been a loyal Brooks customer. My first pair hoping for good things.

These shoes are great but I was hoping for a better response for my plantar fasciitis. They help a lot but don't eliminate all the pain ...maybe I was hoping for too much! Other than that, I love the shoes. They fit well. Also a+ to Zappos for great shipping (received next day!) and customer service and support. They are the best!

I was hoping that these shoes would be as comfortable as everyone says there were but that was not the case with me. While they were comfortable they also rubbed blisters in strange places on my feet. After 3 miles of walking, 2 blisters appeared on the inside of my right heal and the ball of my left foot began burning. Before a week ago, I alternated wearing Asics and On Cloud and feet feet fine and was walking 5 miles daily. I am sad to send these back but I tried 3 times to break them in and also wore band aids and tape to help but still hurt. I think I am the only one that can't wear these shoes........ Not all feet are the same!

This is my first pair of Cliftons (had 3 pairs of Speed Goat 2s). So far I am enjoying them, wear with an insert for more arch support.

I wear a 9.5 in Mizuno Wave Rider, a 10.0 in Brooks Ghost. Went with 9.0 in Clifton after failing to find the right size in the Rincon. Love the feel of these shoes. They do run long - my 9.0 is still a little longer than I would like for serious running, however the arch hits me where it is supposed to. Wish the Hokas would fix their sizing in length! Overall however, this shoe is very comfortable. I will wear for training but likely not for racing.

I have an old pair of Hokas that are highly cushioned , which I got out when I started road running again recently. They are the most comfortable runners I've ever used, but now the elastic on the shoelaces, and the little straps that hold the shoelaces in place, are all stretched out. I'm trying to find the most cushioned Hokas. These didn't seem as comfy as my old ones, so I sent them back. Will continue the search.

These are very lightweight, supportive and comfortable. I wear these in the gym (cross training), walking, and long distance running. I have another pair that I wear to work as a waitress as well. Since there is a large heel I do take them off to squat/deadlift. Im on my feet all day long and they are never sore anymore.

I have worn size 7 in HOKA Speed goat 2 (several pairs). The Clifton (and Speed goat 3) were far too big in size 7. Size 6.5 fit better and I kept the 6.5. Overall comfort is good, though would not say great. Ordered my first pair of HOKA Bondi's (based on reviews) and will see how they fit and feel. Continue to appreciate Zappos!

This is a very comfortable shoe but not as comfortable as the Blondi 6. Returning this shoe and keeping Blondi 6.

I loved the style and width. The arch was very uncomfortable for me. I have a very flat foot. I usually wear a size 9 in women’s but after reading reviews I ordered an 8.5 and i believe I could have worn a size 8 perfectly. But ultimately returned them due to the arch.

I have two pair of the Clifton 4 in size 8. These are bigger than that by a half size and had to return. They also didnt seem as structured. I returned mine and found some 4's. Bummer as these are sweet looking. :)
