The pain in my feet I once felt in other shoes I don't get with these. I have wide feet but even with ordering a wide I feel my feet are still squished in them. They do not feel like a wide. I'm usually a 8.5-9 depending on the shoe. I ordered a 8.5W and probably could have sized down if I wanted my toe all the way to the end but the wide isn't doing it for me

I walk daily 45-60 minutes.
The first time I wore them my feet started to go numb. Went back to my old shoes and it resolvesd. Waited a few days then tried again. This time tingling but not numbness. Everyone loves these (husband included) so I tried wearing longer. Tingling went away but over time started to develop pain on outside edge of feet. Have never had this with any other shoe. I tried but these are just too uncomfortable and causing unnecessary pain. Returning after giving them a serious chance.

Not quite as cushiony as my last 2 pairs-quite stiff. A little disappointed, will start looking at other brands

This pair of Clifton 8s is the third pair I've purchased, the second in this color. I purchased the others shortly after the Clifton 8 was launched and immediately loved them. They were comfortable right out of the box. This pair feels different, though. The latest pair feels stiffer and more narrow than the other two pairs I've had. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'm not loving this pair as much as I did the others.
Disappointed,

When I first put them on I thought they were great and super comfy! But when I walked in them for approx 7 miles in a day my feet became sore. I like to run in them and use them for short term activities but for walking it wouldn't be my go. It might have something to do with my arch? Not sure.

I got these shoes because I have an arthritic big toe and the cushioned soles were recommended. For my toe, they work pretty well. But there's something off about the insole support. I feel like my arches collapse and the heel is just wrong in the same direction. I guess I need some sort of insert with them.
I have two pair. The first I bought at a store and there was one color- white with neon orange. Ugly as sin and now dirty because I walk on dirt roads a lot. Tried washing by hand to minimal effect. Second pair is black with black sole. Much better in the style department but same problem with the collapsing arches.
Like 'em don't love 'em.

Very nice looking shoe. Shoe size was 8.5 but fit like it was a 10!

I was recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. I purchased the Clifton 8, based on reviews from others. While the show fits well, and gives just enough arch support, the heel is not as supportive as I had hoped. I did find another type of Hoka that fit well and supported my foot.

I love the support I get from this shoe but I can feel the insole moving around and it squeaks and feels weird when I walk. If that were not an issue I would absolutely love them.

I purchased this style and it has great support but I wish it could have a better heel cushion. I kinda was expecting a "cloud cushion in the sole" feeling. My orthopedic doctor had recommended me this brand of shoes after my fusion surgery. I was so eager to try them on. Hopefully there's another style that has a better heel cushion so I could switch to.

Decided to return. For the price, the cushioning wasn't exceptional. They are more of a running than walking shoe; I want a shoe built to walk in. I prefer my Ryka Devotion Plus 3 for the cushioning!

Although comfortable, there just isn't as much sturdiness and stability as with the Bondi. I said I would not recommend these, but I definitely recommend the Bondi!

Very narrow on the sides heal area. Fourth pair of Hoyas never had this problem. Rubs blister in this area.

Disappointed. They made my ankles cramp.
My 1st pair of Hoka's was the Bondi 7. I decided to try these based on it's reputation for stability. I immediately felt it cradling my heel, but something about them made my ankles cramp. Maybe the heel is too low relative to the toe.

This is my 4th pair of Hokas. I LOVED the Gaviota 3 for support. Couldn't find those so decided to try these - they are just ok. Not nearly the same awesome support and comfort I'd hoped for.

Rubbed my ankles so badly. I have another pair of Clifton 8 in blue, so I’m not sure what is different with these. Not great for walking or running. My other pair is and I would give those a 5.

i have found my pair to be uncomfortable. I guess maybe is my high arch. but i cannot get use to these shoes.

they also seem large to me.... thought I used your shoe size calculator.

Bev

I had really high hopes that I would love Hoka. Everything I read said they are the best running shoes. I feel like they are too big and awkward and like I was running in clown shoes. I kept them for walking but went back to Brooks for running.

I stand on my feet at work and these sneakers didn't have enough cushion for me. My feet were aching at the end of my shift.
I returned them and ordered the Bondi 7, waiting for them to arrive. I am hoping they will work for me.

My husband has several pairs and loves them. Thought I'd try them. The arch support is much too high for me, and I come home from my walks with an achiness in the balls of my feet. Was hoping they would just "break in", but doesn't seem to be happening. I'm disappointed.
