Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

First I tried the Bondi...LOVED it! Then I wanted to try a lower profile shoe, so the Clifton7. Super comfortable. Then I bought a HOKA hiking shoe...perfect for CO trails!! Now another Clifton 8. They are super comfortable and light. I've had ankle surgery and knee surgery, so I take my shoes very seriously. I didn't think something so cushy and light would stay supportive, but they all do! Love them. I'm a convert. For reference, I wore a nine in my Asics, but an 8 in HOKA's fit similar.

Before I purchased these running shoes I was considering having hip replacement surgery because of the constant pain that I was experiencing. The day I started wearing these the pain mostly disappeared. I wish I'd discovered these years ago.

Walk 2-3 miles daily and feet feel great! Prefer fit over the Clifton 7. Would love more colors in wide.

I have Arahi 's I've worn for 2-3 years , I'm overweight by 50 lbs so I need extra stability and padding , I also have Bondi , but I tried the previous Clifton on in store abs it ran really small and narrow ! My housekeeper loved hers so I thought I'd try these new ones mainly be I loved the colors ! I buy the wide bc I like my toes to be spread out ,( I wore Altra before abs got used to a wider toe box ) I found wheh I switched to wide they're so much more comfortable to me! I was afraid these would run small so I ordered 10.5 Wide ( I normally wear a 10 ) These fit amazing but would have fit if I'd gotten my normal size in the wide ! I have to mention the gorgeous colors , bc these are by far the prettiest Hokas yet! I got the navy w Teal sole and pink logo - they're stunning! Please offers more gorgeous colors !

Let me start by saying I am so happy with these Clifton 8s! I became a fan of Hoka after I realized my pair of OV Cliftons were lifechanging. I was sad because I realized they stopped making that collab/they were impossible to find! The 7s were a miss for me because I found them to feel too heavy compared to that lightweight cloud feel of my OV cliftons- but the 8s are so on point and feel just like them on my feet! If you were a fan of the OV Cliftons you will definitely love the feel of these. They are perfectly balanced between soft, lightweight, springy, and cushion-y under my feet. I'm also so obsessed with the colorway I ordered. It looks even better in person. Huge fan of these and will definitely be ordering another pair if they release more colorways.

I found the size to be substantially larger than my current ON shoes. Return was easy. I got an email they had been received but replacement size not available. I received a full refund. I found at local store and bought half size smaller. Got email new shoes were in transit on same day as not available notice.

This is my first pair of HOKAs. They are comfortable and supportive even after hours on my feet. Would highly recommend for anyone who is on the fence! I am a size 7.5 and originally ordered a 7 because some reviews said to size down, but the 7 was too small so I exchanged for my usual 7.5 and they fit perfectly. I haven't tried running in them yet but I have walked a lot and they feel great so far!

This amazing shoe fits like a dream. From the moment I first put them on they fit perfectly and I didn't need to break them in, a sure sign of a well-designed shoe. I neither pronate nor supinate, and this shoe is designed exactly for those of us who don't. The heel support is flexible and cushy, the ball of foot cushioning is superb and very stable. I could walk in them, primarily what I use them for, forever. The fabric upper conforms to the irregularities of my feet wonderfully and still provides support without suffocating my feet. The fabric is sturdy but light and breathes so that my feet never get hot, something that I have a big problem with. Almost most importantly, the tongue of the shoe isn't stiff and uncomfortable on the front of my lower leg, which I detest and is often a feature of other shoes. They don't cut into me there at all, and is soft and a touch shorter than usual, which I really like. Also the heel is elongated so it's easier to get the shoe on and doesn't "twang" my Achilles, which is another issue common with other shoes and one that drives me nuts. There are even little reflectors on the back and sides of the shoe that go well with the design and don't detract from the overall comfort. The soles make me feel as though I'm being propelled forward, they're so well designed. There isn't one uncomfortable spot on this shoe. Honestly I wish I'd known about this brand years ago, I'd have been buying them all along. I bought these in the Cantaloupe/Silver Peony color, which is VERY pretty. The shoelaces were a bit odd to me at first, they're more like a sturdy nylon ribbon but I like them now. I was able to get my ultimate preferred size, 10.5, which is ridiculously difficult to find. Super fast delivery. Worth every penny.

When every single person at the physical therapy office I was going to recommended them and actually wears them, I decided to try them. The second I put them on, I was sold. I then proceeded to walk a lot in them and my back issues got better throughout the day, not worse. They are so comfy. And stylish. They are the best I've ever worn. I'll recommend for anyone. My husband also loves his.

HOKA has won my heart! I've worn Clifton 6, 7's and Bondi's models and none of them has nailed it like the newly released Clifton 8 model has. Super supportive, stable and the toe box is perfect for me to wiggle my toes when they burn. I've worn Women's 8.5 forEVER until I realized my angry toes was in fact a brewing Morton's Neuroma and knowing it would only get worse if I didn't change my shoes. Size 9 WIDE Clifton 8 is my favorite, I've purchased a second pair!

Know I'm hooked after being told by my runner boyfriend to get these - so light weight and comfortable! And after back surgery a few years ago: just the shoe I need to getting back to running. Live the color and style too.

This is my second pair of cliftons, previously I bought the Clifton 7 last year. They are so comfortable and I am on my feet most of the day! I wear them to exercise and work in. Almost always wearing them. True to size and I had orthotics (for plantar fasciitis) in mine too and still fit perfect. I recommend to everyone.

I broke my foot about 6 weeks ago and my Ortho doc recommended I get a carbon insole and put it in a supportive shoe. Because I'm a nurse and on my feet for most of 12 hours a shift, he recommended Hoka. I'm so glad he did. It has been a great shoe to transition from the boot.

I have bad knees from being overweight for a long time. I've now lost 100 lbs but still have knee pain. With these shoes I'm able to walk 5 miles per day without any pain. I highly recommend them. I also wear the Mach 4, Bondi 7 and Rincon 3 and they all help my knees. I recommend Hoka's to everyone. I usually wear a 9.5 in running shoes but in Hoka I always have to go down a half size.

My foot pain is gone.

Love my Clifton Hoka's. I take a wide width and the color options are usually limited, so I was excited to purchase these for something different. I wear the Cliftons for daily walking. Only shoe I have worn for several years and it's the only ones that I don't have to wear inserts and provide all support I need.
