After I was recently fitted for running shoes and tried on a few pairs of running shoes, I decided to go with the Hoka Clifton 8's and am so glad I did. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I initially used them for running and cross-training at the gym, but now wear them for everything everyday...which has given me a reason to invest in a second pair!

I absolutely love these shoes! After working four 10 hour shifts on concrete floors, my feet used to hurt so much I could barely walk. With the Hoka Clifton 8, not only was I able to walk significantly faster at work, at the end of my work week I was still able to get up and go without any pain! I also bought a pair for my mother, and her foot and knee pain went away within a week! I normally wear sizes ranging from 8 to 9. With Hoka, the size 8 was a perfect fit!

Hands down the most comfortable brand of sneakers I've ever worn. After a toe-fusion surgery my podiatrist recommended HOKA's to me as the sneaker I should be wearing for the next year. I started out with the Bondi7 and then bought the Clifton 8. I especially like that you can get a wide width in any size. I also like that even with the wide width, the ankle can be laced up tight enough for a skinnier ankle like mine. I highly recommend these to just anybody who is looking for very comfortable, all-day wearable sneakers.

Hookahs are the bomb! I only wear Clifton because I need the wide and they allow me to fit my own insole inside. This is the 6th pair I have purchased in the past 3 years. I dress athletically 80% of the time and these are awesome! I always have 1-2 pairs that look great and wear the others on dusty trails, etc. Highly recommend for high arch folks and those with arthritic feet.

I go on walks and workout in them. They're so great. One of the most comfy. I want more. And surprisingly I have the all white, and most stains come most of the way out with a little scrubbing.

I'm 60 years old and overweight. I decided to take a part-time job to get away from the refrigerator. My feet and legs were killing me from standing on concrete for 25 hours a week. I literally thought I was going to have to quit. But a lot of the people in the warehouse were wearing nice shoes. I don't normally spend that amount of money but I wanted to keep working. So I purchase them and I worked 7 hours today and I have no pain! Also I've been wearing them for a couple days around the house they feel great. I'm glad I made the investment.

These shoes came recommended for foot problems, like plantar plate tear or bruise, which I had developed from walking on the country road where I live. The balls of my feet were really hurting. The shoes work great! My feet feel padded and protected. I've cut my mileage and started walking on sandy roads to avoid more discomfort and swelling. Shoes are really great for taking care of my plantar problems!

I suffer from foot, leg and arch pain. I wear these to work as a surgical nurse. I stand or walk all day. I’m truly impressed with these shoes and I wish I had purchased them sooner. Total relief of all foot and leg issues. I have gotten so many con the look of the shoe. I am getting a second pair to wear to the gym

My podiatrist recommended these. They fit my custom orthotics (for sesamoiditis) well because the insole is removable and the shape of the shoe provides a natural support that complements the orthotics. I read that they run on the roomy side, so I just got a wide in my regular size, rather than half a size up, to accommodate the orthotics, though I could see the half size up working too if your feet tend to run toward the upper range of your regular size and you need to fit in orthotics. Not sure they are a half size up in general, just a generous regular size. It's a really nice fit. I can feel the redistribution of pressure when I walk. Often my tennis shoes will chafe on the back heel, but the design on these helps prevent that, which is a bonus. I don't run, so I don't know how they would work for runners, but look forward to extended walks in these. They are light, breathable, and have good traction. The top lends a little flexibility too. Plus they look good—the color is great, and the overall look is more stylish than I expected. I want another pair.

I use these sneakers for walking and work, as I stand for long periods during my shift. The cushioning is great. Very comfortable.

Love the cushioning, stability and fit! I chose the Clifton instead of the Bondi because I like the higher heel collar/pull tab on the Clifton

I wanted to find a shoe that had a minimal heel-toe differential. I believe the toe drop for the Clifton is 4mm. The toe box has enough room for my surgical feet, too! My only complaint is that I found most of their Easter-Egg colors unattractive for this 66 year old! I got the dusty, powder blue and like the look.

Love ‘em. I’ve been running in the Clifton’s for years, they never disappoint. A nice, neutral shoe that I can run In for miles and stay comfortable. I love the color scheme of this pair. I usually order a half size smaller than my usual running shoe size, as they seem to run a bit large.

Was having pain in one foot when walking. I was able to walk 3 miles with no problem. So much cushion and not bulky.

I'm regularly a 7, these fit nicely as a 6.5. I recently transitioned from running road distance on ASICs for approximately 6 years to Hokas. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but i've put 15 miles on these shoes and my feet feel great. I would highly recommend these shoes.

I wear a 10 med usually but had to size down by a half size. Width is generous too. But now that I have the correct size I am so happy!!! Great support, fabric is great and I am styling big time!!!

I needed a shoe that would be comfortable for the thousands of steps at Disney. The Hoka is the best shoe ever for that! Even after 6 days of Disney, my feet still felt perfect! The shoe also supports my feet well since I have plantar fasciitis. Highly recommend these shoes to anyone.

Impressive shoe. Lightweight. Roomy in toebox, size 11, Med. I normally wear 11N. Returning because of a sharp edge along sole pad into arch in left shoe. I think it is a defect.

These fit true to size. After reading reviews, I thought about sizing down, but my regular size, 5.5, fit good.
