Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

This Clifton 8 was a second try after returning the Bondi 7 which was too large and clunky on my feet. Clifton 8 was a better fit for me because it was a bit slimmer style with just a medium amount of cushioning rather than the extreme cushioning in Bondi 7. It still had the generous toe box, and I loved the colors. It also had the right amount of cushion for me. Had trouble with the long pull-on horn sticking up from back of heel. It would catch on my pants, and I thought it to be very unattractive looking. I'm a senior, a walker not a runner, with joint issues. Normal size 8M, and Clifton 8 fit fine in 8M.

Really like the style but it's a little bit narrow, feel hurt to my arch.

Hoka shoes tend to run bigger than the other running shoe brands that I wear, but I also wanted a pair of shoes for winter walking that would work with thicker socks so I ordered my normal run shoe size and I think it will be perfect for that. Otherwise, order true to your normal shoe size. The cushion in the Clifton 8's is amazing and I can't wait to do more walking in them. I run but I like the Clifton shoe for my daily afternoon walk.

I like these shoes but when I tried them on they felt too big. I wear Hokas for exercise and have the Clifton 6 and Clifton 7. The 7 feels snug but okay but I had to rerun the Clifton 8 Hokas. Will order a different style next time but I swear by the brand!

I had Clifton 6 and love them. Felt like the perfect design for me. This 8 version feels more narrow in the toe box. Phooey. That is certainly disappointing - but not bad enough to return the shoes. I bought these full price because I was afraid the wide version would sell out if I waited until the shoes went on sale. At full price I am going to knock off a star because these are very expensive shoes! At full price I really wanted that fuller rounder toe box, but I can live with these. There aren't very many choices in shoe world for wide shoes - and these fit my foot well enough. Things I like about these shoes very much: 1) The mesh upper. It feels light, comfortable and flexible. 2) This shoe is available in a wide. Wish more shoe makers would acknowledge wide feet! 3) The cushion, these are nice shoes for running on road or asphalt. They aren't trail shoes per se, but they perform well enough for running on an unpaved pathway of dirt or gravel. Wouldn't do so well on wet grass or mud. . . 4) The color. I never buy gear based on color, but it's a fun aside that these are pretty Things I didn't like 1) I wish the drop were closer to zero 2) wish they had retained the rounder fuller toe box 3) wish the price was closer to $100, or $110 - $130 is steep for one pair of shoes that won't last any longer than any other pair. You're paying for the brand name, fit and cushion, not durability. I average 40k a week and use these shoes on my mid-length (5 to 10K) runs on road, and road/trail mixture. I don't use them for casual use. But you could - because they're so cute.

Time will tell have not had them long enough

Fit was slightly big

So comfortable

This is my third pair of Hoka Cliftons, and they run considerably smaller that earlier models. Had I known, I would have ordered a half-size larger. Hokas are still the best running shoes for serious runners and folks with foot problems, but the company should warn consumers when updates change sizing.

Width does not meet my expectations.

I truly liked these shoes, my feet said no.

All perfect in every way.

Liking this shoes. I just got them, so it's hard to tell how they will wear, but they feel very true to size. They're as stylish as Hokas can be (in my opinion), and definitely feel like they have good cushion (which is what I was looking for).
