Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

I ordered my usual shoe size however these run 1/2 size big. They are very soft on the heel but narrow and the arch is raised .

Fit and style great. The arch in the shoe is painful.

Just a little on the small side and width was tight, however I do wear thicker socks in the winter so I intend to re-order and upsize a little.

I ordered a couple of sizes and widths in this shoe but found my regular size worked best. I did go up to the wide which I don't normally do, but have found shoes lately seem to run narrow in the toe box for me. I have a couple of old broken toes that don't like to be smashed and this shoe in wide gives them room to move without feeling too big or floppy. I didn't feel I needed a break in period. Wore them out of the box to work where I stand for 5 hours straight with no issues. My only complaint would be the weird hook shaped heel thing. I have no idea what it's purpose is but it's strange looking. It hooks outward and tends to get caught on my pant leg. If I could cut it off and just have it straight across instead of shooting out I would but I don't want to ruin the shoes.

These were recommended to me by my podiatrist for my tendonitis in my ankles, however, the Doctor did tell me the arch support needed for my plantar fasciitis would not be there. I my inserts in and WOW, my ankles felt GREAT!! These also look very boxy, but they are the lightest shoe!!! Do not be afraid of these, if you have good inserts and need that support for your ankles, these are IT!! That is the reason for the loss of the star, as if these had more arch support, I would have given the fifth star (and saved on a completely different pair of shoes, one with stellar arch support, but not the ankle support).

Order a size down, I’m normally a 7.5-8 (Nike, Brooks) so I order a 7.5 too big, exchanged for 7 still to big finally 6.5 fit like normal

Probably should have gotten wide width but never have before. Very comfortable shoe and will buy more.

I ordered these in a 10W, but they were slightly too narrow in the heel. I could ave lived with it, hoping they’d stretch out a little, but also I ordered a pair of ON running shoes in a 10 regular, and they fit perfectly. Sending the Hoka back.

I love Hoka shoes, as recommended by my podiatrist. This style, Clinton 8, seems to run a half size larger. I generally wear an 8 1/2, but the 8 fits best. I have a narrow foot, so the width is perfect for me.

Fit was good - was having hip or sciatica pain while walking (daily exercise with dogs) and it has gotten much better since I started wearing these.

The toe area seemed very narrow and I had to return them. The arch support was not what I was hoping for, either.

The material is very good. Love the colors and style. I expected them to have a better fit width wise. The light weight flexible material allows me to be able to wear them because of that. Offer nice support and comfort for bottoms of the feet. If I were to purchase HOKA brand again, I would probably get a men’s size for extra width.

I'd like to exchange for a size 9 as the 9.5 was too long

*order half size down* I usually wear an 8.5 women's running shoe, but had to go with a size 8 for these. The toe-box is a little narrower than my usual Brooks adrenaline GTS. The shoe is very light and feels very cushioned. Using my own orthotics, these shoes feel good. Too soon to tell if I'll order them again - right now, I think the Brooks work better for my foot.

These shoes are so incredibly cushy! I’m some ways it’s awesome, because I suffer from plantar fasciitis symptoms. On the other hand, it’s so cushy sometimes I feel like stability is not as great. They’re so much foam!

These are the first HOKAs I have purchased. My foot measures between 7-7.5 M and the 7.5 fits well, which a little room for my big toe to move around. They are extremely cushioned and comfortable. My only complaint is the inner removable sole has very rough edges, which dig into the sole of my foot. I am not able to wear these without socks, which I don't always wear. I am hoping this will improve with wear.

I’m normally a true 10. But these in size 10 were way too big. Re purchased a 9 1/2 and they fit perfectly

Great everyday shoe

I was skeptical about these, mainly because of the style, but I was pleasantly surprised at how they helped my aching knees! I have a narrow foot and they feel great with thicker socks.
