Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

I have foot problems and need a better fit I could slip them off without untying them

I have been using it to walk on my treadmill since I received it and I find sole is harder than I expected. Also, it is slightly uncomfortable around the heel area. I found Adidas ultra-boost sole is more comfortable. On the other hand, the color is as I expected it to be.

These are my second pair of Hoka shoes, my first being the bondi 6 that I was OBSESSED with. This time, I ordered the bondi and clifton. I felt like the clifton might be better for me this time, but there was an immediate noticeable difference in the qualify for both new pairs when compared to my original pair. I kept the clifton, and sent the bondi back. Almost 2-3 weeks after wearing them, they are the worst. They have already morphed shapes inside, and I constantly feel like I am walking on something on the right side. These will absolutely be going back. Bring back the high quality material like before. No longer feel comfortable in recommending Hoka to my patients with the current quality issues.

I ordered a size 7 and got a size 7B have no ideal what htis is but it is to BIG

I was really looking forward to loving my first pair of Hokas but unfortunately that is not the case. I got the sand color once it was restocked (had been waiting weeks and looking everyday for when it restocked) and the shoe fits greats except for the arch of the shoe that is really hard and uncomfortable even when walking. Because I really love the shoe style and color I went to a local store that sells the shoes to see if I wide width would fit me differently. I explained this to the employee and he told me to try on another pair in a different color cause he's had a couple people say the same thing about the Clifton 8s. I didn't believe there would be a difference, but to my surprise I tried on the same shoe, in regular width, and in the same size but a different color and the arch was not hard or uncomfortable. I bought some insoles to see if that would help and I've been using them for a couple days but the shoe is still uncomfortable even with the insoles. I am not sure if it is just the sand color that has sharp arches or if some of the shoes are just being messed up at what ever location they are manufactured at. I did see other reviews complaining about the arches so I am wondering if we just got the bad ones

I have really bad Achilles tendinitis so every shoe I wear I'm limping by the end of the night with these I can go 12 hours+ on my feet every purchased in three different colors

I am having to sell my shoes as they hurt under the inside edge of both feet near the big toe joint. My feet both ache at night after wearing them. The pain is in the same location on both feet. So it may be that I'm deformed in some way. Was hoping that these shoes would be the great 'walking on clouds' experience, sadly, it is not true for me.

It hurts. regular or wide :( And I cannot return it .

I had tried on a Clifton, 8.5 wide in a shoe store but the pair I ordered didn't fit. They were way too narrow so I had to return them. I loved the color though, fuchsia/black.

The foot bed is very soft except for the arch area - it was so hard it caused physical pain. I do have a low arch so that's probably the real problem. Would be a great shoe if the arch wasn't so prominent. I might try the bondi but I'm scared it'll be the same problem.

I have purchased Three pairs of Clifton 7 w ide and have worn them out so decided to get Clifton 8. I'm disappointed. The tie box is not as wide as the Clifton 7 and they are just not as comfortable. Never had any issues with the Clifton 7 but after wearing the 8s for a day have a blister. Bring back the design of the Clifton7 please!

Love my clifton 7 but they are worn out. The clifton 8 has shortened the laces so they are unusable. Hoka is unable to send out a pair of longer laces; the only option offered is to return the shoe. The sole is narrower than the clifton 7. I am keeping them but have not worn them yet in the outdoors so cannot speak to comfort. I also wish they sold all the colors in wide widths.

I have always run in Cliftons. Started with the 6 & loved the wide toe box & cushioning. Got a 7- not as much cushioning, but toe box still wide enough. Recently got the new Clifton 8, and am a little disappointed, as it is no where near as cushioned as the 6, and the "wide" is definitely not as wide in the whole shoe. Will not buy a Clifton 8 again.

I love Hoka's but these leather Hoka's made my feet hot and my right pinky toe numb. Note to self just buy the Hoka's with the breathable material.

Decent cushioning and comfortable per Parent's initial reaction but not used often as item was purchased for walking

Super comfortable but so ugly. I feel like I'm wearing a clog or a swimming shoe. Definitely not for style but if you are ok with that, get them!

the footbed on one shoe is defective. i did a chat and asked if i could exchange, was told i would have to send it for evaluation. if they didn't agree it was defective, it would be returned. bottom line is it doesn't feel right and it's uncomfortable- just the one shoe. the other one is good. disappointed with the exchange policy.
