Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 6

I have worn Cliftons for all my distance running needs since the 3s. Marathon after marathon they've never let me down. I've recommended them to anyone and everyone. However, after running in the 6 it seems they have removed most if not all of the "rocker" technology I so loved about this model. I'm a heel striker and it greatly alleviated my plantar fasciitis. Hoka please bring back the rocker to the Clifton so I can continue run without pain!

I run 4 miles 5 mornings a week. I wish I had bought a style that was labeled as "Plush". I feel like me knee could use the cushioning.

Comfy but too big

It's soft but not much support. I got metatarsal pain after my work out. If you don't need good support, this might be adequate.

Clifton 5 arch is too much for my feet. I purchased a pair last month and can't wear them too long so I wear the Ora

I've been wearing Cliftons for work, daily wear, and running for 4 years because it's the only shoe that I'd ever found that I didn't also have to wear an arch support. Unfortunately they changed the midsole on the 6s which makes them feel much less supportive. Disappointing.

The insole is too thin and was extremely uncomfortable to walk in. I had to put in my old (HOKA Clifton) insoles. However, they are still uncomfortable because they throw my right foot to the left - unlike my old Clifton's.

38 years of working on my feet took a toll. Plantar fasciitis and 2 surgeries left me unable to walk any distance. I bought my first pair of Hoka shoes and finally found some relief. I am disappointed though because I buy the same style (Clifton) and same size every time and here lately, every new pair seems to have gotten a little larger. (Both width and length). My last pair was for a trip and I won't be able to take them. I bought an 8 and it was 1/2 size too big. I returned it for a 7 1/2 and the length is right, but the arch doesn't hit where it should. I LOVE my previous Hoka shoes, but am wondering where the consistency has gone. I was told by customer service that it may have been a midsized pair and to try again. Do I want to take a chance?

I have the Clifton 3 which I love. I ordered the 6 and found that (1) I like the cushion better in the 3, (2) I like the wider sole of the 3, and (3) I was not a fan of the stitching on the side of the Clifton 6. It rubs on the side of the foot. I returned them.

Not as cushioned in Metatarsal area as I expected, doesn't give me the stability I need and heal makes me feel like I'm going to rock backwards.

I loved the Clifton 5's and they were great support for my feet. I have Plantar Fascitis in both feet and those shoes made it easy to run again. I got the Clifton 6's and my feet already hurt.
