Darn it! I never really 'splurge' on walking shoes, but decided to go for it since I had a peer with a great referral for this brand. Unfortunetly, the edge of the sole has a weird edge to it and I could feel it through my sock :( Bummed they have to go back , but now I see a similar review where this is mentioned.

Fit is great on my narrow size 12 feet, but the heel drop has me concerned since I have insertional achilles tendonitis and am supposed to raise my heel relative to barefoot, not lower it. A heel cup would probably make my foot too high in the shoe for it to be comfortable. So, I have to return.

This was my first Hoka purchase. I had heard really positive reviews on them from friends. Previously had worn Brooks and really liked them but wanted to try something new. The style is really nice, great colors. I like the feel of the cushion in the sole, its very light and cushions on impact. The very first shoe lace hole near the toes has a molded area around the hole. That piece digs into my foot and its uncomfortable. After wearing multiple times it has loosened up a little. I feel like the shoe fit overall is a bit too wide.

I have the exact pair of Hoka Clifton 8. The pair I just received are a bit tighter around the ball of my foot. I normally wear a size 9, all Hoka's I wear an 8.5. Really like the shoes, no complaints.

First pair of Hoka athletic shoes. The Clifton 8 fits true to size with a bouncy cushion for your foot. The mesh is breathable and flexible.

Love the comfort and feel of this shoe. However, (and I feel fortunate it is not consistent) the shoes squeak when wet. After reading the reviews I am SO glad the squeaking only occurs when they are wet. Otherwise, one of my best shoe purchases.

Have to return. 7.5 felt too wide and bulky. I have a wide too area but still too large feeling. Sorry

Would have given them 5 stars, but first pair started to fall apart on the bottom front sole. They were quickly replaced and this pair is doing great. Love the fuchsia color!!

Not as impressed as I expected to be based on reviews. I don’t think these shoes will last very long. I have a wide foot. Even with wide sizing I have lateral foot pain during runs. I’ve purchased more comfortable shoes for wide feet at a better price.

I wore the Clifton today for 2 hours of pickleball. They give good support and a great cushion. I am a size 7 medium and I do feel they are a tad large but I like the extra toe room!! So far so good!! We’ll see after a few months but I am pleased with them!!

I walk daily and wear them each day 1-2 hours a day. They are extremely comfortable.

I use these shoes for daily walks. I have had problems with plantar fasciitis and a painful heel spur. These are very comfortable though I might try a style with more cushioning next time. I very much like the wider toe box which prevents stress on other joints. I also love that these shoes come in great colors.

The right shoe appears to be defective. When they were tried on it was sitting higher on the right shoe as if there was too much material. My foot was sliding out as if it was not secure. Overall the shoe looks great, but will have to be returned due to this issue.

As many mention here, the shoes are very comfortable! Definitely get a size smaller or a half-size smaller. But I'm noticing the left side of my foot somewhat keeps hurting but not sure if my shoes aren't fully broken in

Great cushion. Love these shoes, just wish they kept their cushioning beyond 200 miles.

Loved the lightweight feel, the roomy front toe area for bunions, but the arch was just too high for me since I have high arches already. Couldn't get used to the feel. I am not a runner but wanted them for walking since I have a lumbar fracture and needed the extra cushioning. True to size. Back they went.

This is my 6th pair of the exact same shoe style and size, albeit the others were version 6, version 7 & also 8 - and for some reason this new pair of Clifton 8s caused a blister on my right heel after wearing 3 times. I can't explain it. I still love almost everything else about this shoe style, but this pair had to go back.

These shoes are for everyday use. I have custom made orthotics which do not fit quite right in those shoes. I'm using an insole from from a pair of old worn out GDefy. I won't go back to my orthodist because we had a falling out which has been brewing for 4 years. I've had orthotics for 24 years, not all by him. My feet are structured differently from one another and when I tell him the right orthotic isn't comfortable in my arch, or that the shoe is not comfortable on my diabetic feet, he gets angry. He said he couldn't do anything more. I told him right away when the shoes came in that they didn't feel good. Told me to wear them for several weeks to break them in. Well, even with his adjustments on the orthotics they never were comfortable. I was even getting a rub spot on the inside of my left heel. For a diabetic that's a red flag of trouble. Another reason I'm using a different insole is that I needed more cushion. Even with the problems, my feet are much happier in your shoes. I have neuropathy and arthritis in my feet. I always told him I felt I would do better if I could try the shoes on, but they don't do it that way. Your company was referred to me by my foot doctor I've recently started seeing. Thanks so much.

Narrow in the front and have a callous/blister on outer side of right big toe. However, the rest of the sneaker is great.

Very comfy for aching and injured feet. Soft material on top. Not quite enough support from that material, tho; my foot slid over to the left.

Overall I'm very pleased with the HOKA brand . I'm a nurse on my feet for long 12 hour shifts and my feet never ache in these sneakers . I'm on my 2nd pair . So far they've been true to size even though I brought two different styles .

I liked the light weight and the sportier look, however, the Bondi 7 is more supportive of my feet so i will order another Bondi 7 instead. Good job, Hoka!

The "wide" is not wide enough. It's narrower than Bondi 7 (w).
