Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 6

Didnt like the feel.

I have owned HOKA Clifton 1 and loved it, but this Clifton is lacking the comfort of my other HOKAs

I'm generally disappointed with these shoes, the company and the experience I had with Hoka. I was in the market for a new pair of work shoes with lots of shock absorption and comfort. The Clifton 6 was highly recommended by a few different people. I was fitted as a women's 8 in store but they didn't have an 8 in store for me to try on. I went home and ordered them directly from the website, which also suggested a size 8. These feel at least half a size too big, if not a full size- depending on your feet. They felt a little roomy but nothing bothersome when I first got them. I'm used to my shoes not being super snug, I prefer it. It wasn't until I wore them at work for my 10 hour days walking on concrete that I realized something was off. I had blisters on my feet that I have never experienced with any of my other similar grade shoes. My shoes were also delivered to the wrong house, after I paid for expedited shipping. I reached out to the company to see if any other customers had a similar problem with discomfort and any suggestions they could give me.. I got an automated response. I think these just run big. Everything I found online said they ran true to size but that was not my experience. I've also already noticed parts of the exterior shoe design peeling from the fabric. I've had these for under a month. Obviously I couldn't return them after wearing them so I'm stuck until I can afford to get another pair of shoes. Everybody raved about the Clifton's and I wanted to love them but that wasn't my experience.

Shoes were not as cushioned as the very same shoe that I purchased 3 weeks before.

Unfortunately I didn't decide I didn't like the shoe before my 30 days ran out. It was exciting trying it but it just didn't work for my foot.

This shoe has a good design with the rocker bottom, and I appreciate that it was available in wide width in an eye- catching color. However, arch support and cushion is virtually nonexistent. I like the shoes well enough to keep them, but am irked that I can't wear them until I purchase separate insoles. Shoes that cost over$100 should have decent support.

This was my 4th pair of Clifton's (previously ran in 3,4,5's) and unfortunately I had to return the shoe. I bought these to use in my upcoming marathon but after several long and short runs my forefoot was sore in this model of shoe. It's not my foot because I bought the Rincon too and will default to this shoe for the marathon. Not sure if the padding or the slightly larger design of this shoe was the cause. With all this said, I will continue to run in Hoka's as they offer the best ride out there. Great thing was I was able to return the shoe for a refund even though I ran in them! Thanks Hoka for that option.

Have 2 PR clifton5 ...perfect fit. Purchased a diff color..same size .too wide. Bought new clifton 6 too wide.

They didn't work for me.. it's not a bad shoe but when I ran twice in them I got a really sharp pain in left outer ankle and had to stop twice worse the second time.

I have had 4 pairs of Hoka Cliftons. I use them for avid running and the elliptical. I loved the Clifton 4 and the Clifton 5. Unfortunately the Clifton 6 is a wider shoe and the arch feels like it is too low. I even put my super feet in the shoe and it did not help. I have loved my cliftons in the past so I tried to see if the more I wore them I would like the shoe, however due to the changes my feet started to hurt and I felt strain near my heal from the arch. I have since purchased another pair of Clifton 5's and will have to use the 6's which were more expensive for general walking. I hope the 7's can go back to a less wide fit with a higher arch!!!! Otherwise I will have to change shoes.

I only wear hokas but this pair really hurt my feet. I haven't been pleased with them. I have purchased 20 pair since i discovered hokas but i wouldn't buy these again.

Have purchased Hokas for years after falling in love with the Clifton 3. The hiking boots I own are fantastic, but there is a serious issue going on. The quality and consistency are beginning to be a big problem. The cushion is not impressive for the price. The shoe runs large and the toe box feels more like the Bondi. The tongue is short, so if you use the top lacing holes to prevent heel slipping, there isn't much to keep the laces from digging in to the top of the foot. I sent them back. In an attempt to get a different pair, the online chat kept saying everyone was busy. Sent an email to finally get a reply the next day. The next size down is on backorder. The other styles that were recommended to me are also on backorder. One isn't even available until the end of October! It's just sad. After the 3's & the 5's, it's just going downhill. Guess I'll be trying to find another company that can actually get me a shoe. Why is it that companies always seem to ruin a good thing?

I have a pair of the Bondi 6 shoes in size 9.5 medium that I absolutely love - amazing comfort and cushion for my daily walks. Because I've heard good things about the Clifton, I decided to order a pair to compare. I ordered a 9.5 in the Clifton as well and it was way too long, and uncomfortably narrow for me in the arch. Disappointed that they didn't work so will have to return them. Guess I'll need to stick with the Bondi until I'm able to go somewhere to actually try on other styles to check out the fit and comfort.

the jury is still out on these shoes. my Clifton 5 ( I have 2 pairs because they fit so well and were just so so comfy for walking and running) fit perfectly...I think like a hoka should fit. the Clifton 6's do not fit the same. it looks like they made some slight changes to perhaps fit in with the mainstream nike, adidas etc of the world. but isn't this why people buy hoka's,...becasue they are not a NIKE or an Adidas? wish they hadn't made the changes and try to fit in with these run of the mill shoe companies.

I was delighted when I first received my clifton 6, in night job I am on my feet 12 hours out of the day. When I received my Clifton 6 they were ski comfortable it felt as if I was walking on air, but after about 2 weeks the heel of the shoe begun to run down.

So I am new to the brand and was lucky to try on a few Hokas. Clifton 5, and this shoe saved my life. I have a lot of chronic back pain and feet pain. I will also say I am a RN and a dog that I have to walk. The pain in my back and feet were crippling.... until that shoe. But the toe was very angled and I purchased a 1/2 size up and was forced to tie the shoe tight and had scars on the top of my feet from the poor tongue padding. The shoe was PLENTY light and was basically a BONDI with less padding. CLIFTON 6. Pain is back, not as bad but its creeping. This shoe is like you were driving a Strong Mercedez and switched to a Light Toyota. Lighter is not always better. I am very short and thin, and cant wear a heavy shoe. Clifton 5 was a shoe I would take off at work and show off how light it was at work. This shoe has great colors and a better accommodating toe shape. But the heal has an odd notch, that makes a neutral unstable. It is very odd. The sole is not balanced under the foot bed. The cushion is not very good quality and is not very good as a shock absober. It just feels like cheaper materials on upper and lower are on the shoe. I am going to look for the clifton 5.

Have had lots of foot issues these past few years and was thrilled to find Hoka's, through my foot doctor. I have worn out two pair of Clifton 4's and while I was waiting for the Clifton 6 to come out, bought a pair of Clifton 5's on sale. I'll never wear anything but Hoka's again because their cushioning is so good. I've waited all Spring for this shoe and am so disappointed that I have to return them. They feel too narrow and have an uncomfortable feeling in the arch. Although I have a high instep and use a custom insert, this shoe seems to have too much arch support on the outside of the foot, not in the right place for me. After wearing around the house for a short time,the outside of my foot by the arch is sore. Really like the Clifton 5, though, and will order another pair to replace this Clifton 6.
