Have been a Hoka customer for years. I like the look of the shoe but starting to lose the faith about Hoka's quality.
I have only worn these shoes around the hospital for work, not even full time because I switch out with Danskos. Anyways, the rubber is already falling off the bottom!! These are too expensive for this to be happening with only a couple WEEKS of wear.

These are the first pair of Hoka shoes that I have bought that just absolutely KILL my feet. The colors and the shoe are beautiful but I cannot walk in them without alot of foot pain. I was so sad to have to send them back for a new pair.

This is my 4th pair of Hoka"s and I love this brand more than any shoe I have ever had. But this last pair that I just bought are not comfortable at all. The right shoe just hurts my foot so much. Don't worry I will continue to buy your shoes. But this pair was a bad taste for on line buying.

The fit was snug & I need to order a wide width. Hoka is back ordered for 3-4 months.

These Hoka’s we’re definitely narrow & very snug on my feet. I would order a wide in a size 9.

But, they aren't as supportive as I thought they'd be. All the nurses I know wear them, but these are troublesome to my feet after 6 hours.

This is my 3rd pair of Cliftons the last pair being Clifton 7's. They have changed just enough about this shape/flow of the shoe that the fit is completely different from my last pair. The toe box feels slightly smaller despite being the same size I was wearing. The cut out/dip around the ankle feels way too deep and less supportive. The shoe is excellently made and looks as pictured but the feel is much different from my past experience. I do not come to HOKA for a sleek "cool" looking shoe. I come for support and comfort. I will wear today to see if my opinion changes but I am not very happy with the shoe overall. A complete change in the feel.

Lightweight, the sides and the front are spacious and accomodating, but the arch in these shoes is high and very uncomfortable for my feet. Cannot walk in them.

I found the Clifton 8 to be firmer and less comfortable than the 7. Especially disappointed given how much I paid.

I wanted a pair that didn't look as bulky as my Bondi 6's. I liked the new color but I wore them 3 days a week for the last 2 weeks and by the end of the day and into the next day I felt like I could feel every bone in the soles of my feet. Ouch! Just sent them back today.

I purchased the Wide, unlike other HOKAs, this pair feels more like the regular.

I was given the Clifton's for my birthday last September and would wear them on my morning walks with my dog. However, in less than a year the soles have already started to deteriorate and there's random rips in the fabric by the laces even though that part of the shoe experiences no friction. I'm training for a marathon and know that these shoes simply won't cut it for the task at hand. Returning and going back to Nike. At least they were pretty?

Love Hokas width and light weight feel. BUT my heels keep slipping up from these shoes :/ I am a slim person and bought the regular width. Hoka, please consider making a shoe sock similar to the laced Nike epic react!!

I am surprised that only few reviews are mentioning that it runs large and wide, as it definitely does. Unfortunately have to return, not sure I will reorder in this brand or go back to old reliable Nike.

I wanted to love these shoes so badly. They're so comfortable. Unfortunatley, these are my second pair and within 6 months of buying them, they were falling apart to the point that I couldn't use them anymore. I only use them for walking but I do use them everyday. I really wanted to buy another pair but for the price I wish they would last longer.

I currently own a pair of HOKA Clifton 6 in a size 5W. They fit great with plenty of room in the toe box. I wanted a second pair of HOKAs because they have really helped with post plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. I ordered another pair which were Clifton 8 size 5W. They were the new Outer Space/Atlantis style. I tried to put them on and they were way too narrow. Upon comparison, they look like they are about 1/4" narrower than my Clifton 6 pair. I tried to wear them for a couple of hours inside the house, but when I took them off, I had red marks on both sides of my feet. Of course, they don't come in a DD width. Just be aware of difference in Clifton 6 and 8. Really liked the look of these shoes!

I was disappointed- After reading reviews I thought these were wider than the 7's- No! Nothing beats the Clifton 6 for me- I have a wide foot and these wide were way to narrow and half size smaller than expected. i had to return. I guess I will wear the clifton 6 till they die then move back to the altra's

I have Clifton 6's that I adore. I have run about 900 or more miles in them and wanted a new pair. Can't find the 6's anywhere, so I tried the 7's (not comfortable) and then the clifton 8's, expecting to love them. Couldn't wear them. They are more narrow than my clifton 6's and are just plain uncomfortable. Instead of walking on clouds I felt like I was walking on a hard surface, and the width is tight, so I'm returning them. I'll try the Bondi's since they are known for cushioning. I love the brand, love by clifton 6's, want to love another pair of Hokas too!

My first Cliftons were the 7's and they worked amazingly well for me. I had been having achilles tendon issues, and as soon as I started wearing the Clifton 7s, they vanished. I was ready to love the 8s, but after the first couple of runs, I had blisters on both my big toes - never happened before, ever. I could only attribute it to the 8s. Hoka was wonderful and took them back, and I bought another pair of 7s. I will try the 9s. I am completely sold on Hoka. I'm not saying don't buy the 8s, but they did not work for me.

I ordered the hoka one Clifton 7 and it was perfect. I then ordered the Clifton 8 and is a big difference in the width. Too much material in toe box of the 8. It is due to the fact the company eliminated one set of eyelets. It took me a while to figure out the difference, however after careful scrutiny i discovered the problem. Sent back the Clifton 8. Too bad as the Clifton 7 was made better.

I was excited to buy these. I originally wanted just the black on black but they were sold out everywhere. I did go to a sports store to try on the Clifton 8. I originally tried an 8 1/2-the only size left in black on black, but that the store owner felt that I should get a size up so I got the nine which is my normal size depending on the shoe is cut. after a couple weeks, the shoe stretched. I don't know why, but it's flopping on me and it's completely useless useless they look like giant boats. more importantly I find that I can't I can't walk with them they really are just for running and I thought that I could maybe use them for day to day at work.

It's cute and cushioned, but not great for narrow feet. It doesn't provide a secure feeling and my forefoot moved around inside it a lot. I only tried my normal size so maybe this shoe just runs large. Probably fine for wider feet.

I loved the Clifton 7s and have owned 3 pairs but I'm very disappointed in the 8s. Very little padding towards the front of the shoe making it very uncomfortable for people who do not run on their heels. Very sad I can not find the Clifton 7s anymore. They were one of the only shoes that worked.
