The cushion on these shoes are different than the Clifton 7. The footbed was really stiff and didn’t provide the support I needed. My feet felt bruised after a walk. I remember the Clifton 7’s were comfortable as soon as I tried them on. No break in period. Disappointed with the 8’s.

This is my third pair of Hoka's and this is first pair to be uncomfortable. As a nurse, I used to swear by them. Not much give, more narrow than other styles.

The size and fit were fine. But, this shoe has a very uncomfortable side sole that rubbed on my arch (both sides). It may just be that I need a shoe with less arch support? But it was the edge of the actual support that was rubbing, digging into the side of my foot. I have worn and love the Bondi, but the Clifton just didn't work for my feet!

Returned. I see people wearing these everywhere, they're cute so I tried them. I wanted to love them! They would've been my 3rd pair of Hoka's. But they are SO hard/stiff, not comfortable for me at all.

The shoe is cheaply made and the insole is not at all comfortable

I wanted to love these shoes so badly and I really did upon first wearing around the house. The second time I wore them, however, I noticed that they were causing me pain all along the inside of my right foot (from the ball to the beginning of the heel). Apparently, this may be due to the way they form the arch of their footbeds? After some online research, I learned that Hokas tend to work best for a very specific shape of foot & apparently mine isn't one of them :( For reference, I have an average/slightly narrow width foot with a moderate instep..

I have tried to love these and break them in but the older Cliftons are just a lot softer and way more comfortable. This was an exchange for another pair I tried that was also not comfortable for me. I had the Bondi 7 and they were the best shoes ever. Tried the other Bondi and they were so different and uncomfortable. Something happened to Hokas shoes and I am so disappointed.

I know that everyone is different but I was optimistic about this running shoe. It fits well and has a wide toe box which I need but as for performance when I am running, it didn't provide the comfort and stability I needed.

I seem to struggle with sizing in Hokas. I’m grateful for free returns because depending on the style, my size varies up to a full size!

I wear a size 10 in athletic shoes. Had to size up to 10.5 in these and thought they were a bit short Thought they ran narrow through the front arch area. They are a great color combo but weren’t the right shoes for me.

I've seen people using Hoka sneaker at the gym and asked a couple of them if they like, I've been wearing the same brand of sneaker and was willing to try something different, here is what I think, to tell you the truth I was a little disappointed, the shoes does not look great, i bought the black one, but this is not the problem it hurts me, it seems that its very narrow at the middle, lets day that the bottom of my feet get cogito on de inside side and that insert is really hard, maybe i ordered the wrong model, but I wouldn't buy it again. Comfort wise its great but not too different from the ones I pay half of the price, just no it that impressed. Sorry.

Great walking shoe. Lots of cushioning. Not sure why but arches dig into both feet. Maybe because my feet are deformed with bunions?

They fit fine. But they are not as cushion as I thought they would be. My heal still hurts.

The Clifton is true to size and comfortable to walk in for short periods. Color and style are great. I wish it had more arch support. I have bone spurs, and after a while, my feet start to hurt. I will probably just put an insert in. I also have a hoka bondi. This shoe is so much better for those with feet issues.

I purchased the shoes because I injuried my knee I found the shoes were to soft and it didn't help my balance. Maybe without a knee issue they would be better.

I normally wear a 9.5 in running shoes, but I can't seem to find the right size in HOKAs. I tried a 9 (based on recommendations) and it was too small, so I then tried a 9.5. The fit was odd and the back of the shoe somewhat pinched my heel. I loved the cushion and the shoes were super light, but unfortunately I will be returning these as well and trying the Bondi.

These fit well, but were super uncomfortable -- the bottom of my foot hurt, wearing them around the house, not sure if the arch is too much or what was going on, but sadly, need to return these.

I was hoping these would have better heal support. I have a wide foot and suffer from planter fasciitis, these shoes are comfortable, but lack the support I was looking for.

I own a pair of these in black and I have not found another color that fits the same. Every other color I have tried seems too wide.

I wanted to love these and make the switch from On, but I found them to rub in all the wrong places without even taking a step. Too bad, cause they were so lightweight and I appreciated the subtle lavender color but had to return.
