I'm disappointed in how they make my feet hurt after a long day. Not what I was hoping for.

The shoe was very comfortable and I had read that people with Achilles tendinitis said they loved them and even gave up their lifts. I wore them for 3 days and the pain was intense. I love that I was able to return them even though I wore them. The return was easy and I got my money back quickly.

Had to return. The insole at the apex of the arch dug into my foot. They were not what I expected.

I've been on a long journey trying to find comfy shoes for my arthritic feet. I had several pairs of the regular width Bondi 6's and they were awesome! Unfortunately, the redesigned Bondi 7 failed me with less cushion and a much narrower shoethe wide just barely fit. I decided to try the clifton 8 as they are touted as a great shoe. I ordered my size in a wide and they were too narrow. The tongue is too padded, in my opinion, and the way that the tongue is attached to the shoe is tight and uncomfortable. I'm returning and exchanging for the mens wide. If this doesn't work I'll be forced to consider wearing clown shoes. Still good shoes, just tough to find the right fit for me.

I got these for work and was expecting more. My feet were hurting by the end of the shift every time I tried to wear them. I think they're cute and maybe if I find different insoles it'll be better but I've had cheaper shoes be more comfortable.

I usually get 10 and a half wide, so I ordered that size for these. They were very pretty shoes, and I was excited, but they were so tight I checked the size. They really were what I ordered, so I returned them. Zappos is great with their return policy and there was no problem returning them.

I tried the Clifton 8 and Bondi 8 W and they both rubbed a ton on the insole on my mid-foot. Returned both and went back to Nike. I wish the width was more uniform through the entire foot. Bummed.

They seemed good while walking around inside house, although they did seem a bit to big in toe area. I should have returned but didn't think it was that much to big so figured they would be ok. But wasn't as happy with them on my walk outside. My toes got a bit of a numbing feel. Never had that with any other shoe I've worn including a couple other styles of Hoka shoes. But will have to make due with them. After spending that much money on them can't have them just sitting in closet. Will stick to my Brooks from now on though.

After using these running shoes for about 4 weeks, I noted excessive wear on the interior of the shoe near the edge of the heals. The running shoes these replaced, a pair of New Balance sneakers, had been used for nearly a year with no similar issues. Only the soles of the NB had worn out. I was very upset as these running shoes quite expensive. While I was out of the initial return window, I was able to return them to the company (at my expense-$20 for shipping and insurance) and I was issued a full credit. I have bought the exact same pair. Time will tell if they have the same type of wear issues. I did appreciate the prompt and efficient customer service with my problem.

Wore these on my daily walk and was disappointed with comfort. They are more flat/level than I need and felt like I was almost walking at an incline all the way, which made my shins and feet hurt terribly.

I loved my first pair of Cliftons, they were Clifton 5's and so cushiony and comfortable. My Clifton 6's were ok, not as much cushion and a slightly stiffer fit. Returning the Clifton 8's - much stiffer, minimal cushion, too high in back and rubbing on my achilles, overall not anything like the previous versions! I wore them for 2 days at work and my legs and feet were not happy!

I bought this style because of mesh fabric and the wide width (to allow more comfort and room because of a bunion). Both accommodated those needs. I wore them around house for couple of days without issue. I wore them on a brisk 2 mile walk today. My feet became hot and sweaty and the shoes became very heavy half way thru walk. This was very surprising to me. I thought the mesh would breath better. In the same way I'm surprised the shoe felt heavy after Walking a while. The shoe itself is not that heavy. I'm very disappointed of course.

Wonderful cushion just sad I had to purchase a different pair once I wore them a few weeks. Got the wider version and had helped greatly. O let problem now is when they got wider the size for smaller. Will have to order a half size up when these wear out.

These are comfortable shoes. They are not as cushiony as the Bondi 7 but what I really disliked was the pieced inner ankle collar. I could feel the sesam rub against my ankle. The Bondi 7 doesn't have a pieced collar so I returned these and got the Bondi 7.

I thought maybe I ordered a narrow shoe. I felt the edge on the outside of my feet. When I felt it with my hand I realized there is a curved hard edge that my foot was on. Not comfortable so I returned them.

I was really excited to try these shoes. Heard great things about them. I walk up to ,sometimes over 12000 steps in an 8 hour work day. These shoes do give good support but they are not the savior I was hoping for. My feet are still really sore after 8 hours in these shoes and they make a farting sound when I walk. Disappointing!

There are light shoes and they are wide in the front , but I need a good support to work stand up and it does not provide it. Besides I feel like the insoles burn the bottom in my heals , under the foot

I have used these shoes three times a week since I purchase them, the soles are already falling apart. I think for the amount of money you pay that you should not be falling apart this soon. They're comfortable but I'm sure with the sole falling apart, they won't be that comfortable much longer.

I guess it was true to size but the 9.5 felt a bit too big so I went with a 9 but it was just a bit tight. I have sent them back & explained this in a review earlier. Thank you.

I love Hoka's, but I wish I would have gotten the Bondi 8's instead. I really wish you would start to make more colors (like the pink I ordered) in wide size for the Bondi's. The Bondi's are more comforable than the Clifton's, but both shoes are comfortable.

I bought the Clifton 8 shoe because I read about them and thought they would work for my daily walks and jogs. They make my feet hurt when I'm walking the back of my lower legs hurt. And the top of my feet hurt. If I jog my feet don't hurt as bad. The heel and side of my feet feel great. There is no arch support in these shoes. The arches of my feet hurt. Lots of money to spend on shoes that hurt my feet.
