Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 6

I really enjoy to run with this model, it's the 4th time I buy the Clifton. I'm not a fast runner so for long distance the cushion is perfect. The only negative side that I find in this model is that it wears out too fast.

The new Clifton 6's don't work for me. They don't fit to my feet like the 5's and there definitely isn't enough arch support for me. Hip pain is my big issue and I started feeling it when I walked with the 6's.

The shoe was too plush for my liking. I'm used to the Gaviota. I will stick with the Gaviota's.

I use this one for marathon training. This is the best Clifton since the Clifton 3. I was ready to forget about the Clifton altogether and never look back. Fortunately an experienced ultra runner talked me into trying this one and I'm happy she did :)

I am an "over-supinator" with high arches who needs a shoe just like this. I ordered my usual size, a 7, only to find them to be much too long and roomy. I exchanged them for a 6.5, only to find the length perfect but the shoe much too narrow, especially for my foot that has a small bunionette (on little toe). I wore them for 3 long nursing shifts. I was on my feet for an average of 14 hours each day. My feet ached early on in each shift, even the bottoms of my feet were sore. I was so disappointed because I really wanted to love these shoes. I've heard nothing but great things! I do like them and would absolutely recommend them for someone with more narrow feet. The cushion is fantastic! I'm researching the akasa now and hope to try them soon.

Hoka has finally circled back to the great virtues of the Clifton 3. After some Clifton iterations that had overly rigid rockers, the Clifton 6 strikes that wonderful balance of a rocker that is nice and firm, yet somehow soft enough to feel at one with your foot as you move. Moreover, the Clifton 6 just gets better and better aesthetically; Hoka, please continue in this sleek and minimal direction! Given how great the shoe is, the sizing is especially disappointing. Hoka's 7.5 has always been spot on for my 7.5 size foot; however, this Clifton's 7.5 is noticeably longer, as well as larger in the instep. I would consider it almost a half size too larger, and am considering going down to a 7.

Really like shoe but half size too big. I fluctuate between 8 and 7 1/2. Do all Hokas run same size. Would like to order another style, but think I should order 7 1/2

Thought it would help my lower back pain more

I have to return because still a bit big for me but in general it's an AMAZING pair of sneakers.

It took a few runs to break these in. I'm training for another marathon and took them on a 15 mile run right out of the box. It wasn't a very comfortable ride and I was ready to send them back. I decided to keep running in them on shorter days and see if that would help. It did! Now 15+ miles in them is fantastic. I just wish the toe box was a little wider. Thanks Hoka for another great shoe!

I went up a size in shoe. And I wish I hadn't. Other than that they are great shoes.

Should have ordered 7

I am not yet sure if they fit me as well as the Clifton 4. Maybe I need more structure than I thought. Maybe I just need to wait until the mold to my feet better. Might try a different model next time. I think they are OK for walking, but I might want a different model for running.

I have had the Clifton model before, the Clifton 6 seems to "draw" on my heels. I replaced the Hoka one insole that came with the sneaker, an improvement, but still feel the drawing - almost as if you are standing on a cement floor. I didn't experience that with the other Clifton or the Bondi.
