Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

I like these shoes but I also don't know if I like them. They were comfortable at first but after so long they felt as though they were rubbing my arches raw ..

I love the look of these shoes. Length was fine, but toe box a little narrow for my fit. I am on the waiting list for wide size of the same shoe.

I wore out 2 pairs of Clifton 7’s. They were great. I needed and new pair so I ordered the Clifton 8 expecting that they would fit just like the 7’s. Not so. They are too narrow. First time ever I have had a pair of Hokas that were too narrow. If a shoe company has winner such as Clifton 7 why in the world would they change it. Not a good marketing strategy. I will be returning this pair and ordering a pair of Hoka’s in a wide size. Other than the width the shoe was wonderful-good arch support and plenty of cushion.

Feels a bit large. True to width. Moderate arch support.

The shoe fits well, very light and a cushiony feel when walking. I hike in the city on mostly asphalt or concrete so am interested to see how they hold up over time. Color is a light blue, pretty.

One of the footbeds seemed to be made wrong; it cut into the bottom of my foot.

These are good sneakers, the toe box too narrow for my taste - no different than the Brooks I already have. I will change them for another model. I believe I ordered the wrong ones. I have plantar fascitis and need "the perfect shoe".

They run a little big but great for standing on your feet for long hours! Happy Nurse!

I wear these all the time to work out and work.

Extremely comfortable. Unfortunately my feet are big for my body and these only make them look bigger. I like walking on clouds but I don't like looking clunky. The widest part of the shoe measures 4.5" inches for goodness sakes. I feel like it's definitely possible there is an equally comfy shoe out there that is just a bit slimmer.

First off, I use these shoes for walking on cement, not for running, so my review is based on how they feel for walking. I like the Clifton 8 nearly as well as I like my pair of Clifton 7. I initially ordered the Clifton 8 in size 8-1/2 because that is the size of my Clifton 7 shoes. However, I found that the Clifton 8 is a bit wider in the toe box than the Clifton 7, so I ordered a smaller pair in size 8, thinking they might fit better. But after comparing the two sizes, I ended up keeping the 8-1/2 and returned the smaller pair 8’s. It was a close call. I love the Blue Fog/Plein Air color, a pleasant, neutral color. I noticed in the reviews that several customers complained that the insole rubbed them in various places. I found the same thing with both pair I ordered; however, it is a removable insole, so I partially removed each insole and very, very slightly repositioned it; and that seemed to solve my problem with scratchy insoles.

Very stylish shoe. I was not able to exercise in them. I should have ordered a half size or even whole size down. Keeping them to wear when I am running errands and spectator events.

I wear a 9 in street shoes and a 9.5 in running shoes (Asics, Saucony, ON). a 9.5 in Hoka is way too big. Too long and too wide. This shoe felt really good (except for being too big), but the left instep had a noticeable lump. The right side was fine. Not sure if it's a fault in the shoe or because they are too big and the instep is hitting my foot wrong. I'll return and try a 9 because they feel really comfortable for running.

These shoes are comfortable but way wider than listed.

Shoes fit well - I like them and hope they last long. I tend to go through them quickly but they help my feet.

Hurt the inside of my arch when running. Was so bummed because other than that they were comfortable and super cute.

This shoe didn’t work for me. I ordered 2 sizes—my usual 8.5 and 8. There was no visible difference in length, but the arch on the 8 was back too far for my foot. The 8.5 was a better arch placement. Your regular size is probably the way to go with this shoe. Orange color is pretty, but just a bit too pastel for my taste. Creamsicle orange. I could have lived with the color if they had worked out comfort-wise. There is plenty of room for the toes, but I need it further back as well—around my bunion. Wonky feet.
