Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

I walk 9 miles a day and these can't keep up

I work and walk in them the inside of the shoe was very hard on the bottom of my feet and they were very uncomfortable.

I finally invested in a pair of Hoka's because all of my friends swore by them. The second I put them on, I felt like I was standing on some sort of hard bench. I walked around in them for awhile thinking they would feel better eventually but they did not. For this kind of money, I expect a whole lot more from a shoe.

UPS delivered to wrong address, HOKA and UPS were no help It's not my job mentality. Great shoes, horrible service.

I have several blisters on my feet from these shoes. I consistently walk around 5 miles per day and even hiked in and out of the Grand Canyon without ever getting blisters on my feet. I have NEVER had blisters on my feet and now I have several since switching my walking shoes to the Hokas. Super disappointed.

To be honest I bought these shoes because of the hype and I really liked the color options. Unfortunately, I had many issues with them: 1. The shoes gave me some pretty nasty blisters on the inner sides of my feet. It's been over 2 weeks and they are stilled not healed, and it's unfortunately interfered with my current training schedule. I don't consider myself to have wide feet, and based on other reviews this actually seems like a common problem. The shoe shape might work for some folks, but just be cautious if you are giving these a try. 2. This is probably expected due to the cushioning, but I wasn't prepared for just how slow these shoes felt. It felt like I had to exert 5x more energy just to get my foot off the ground! 3. I'm going to assume this is due to the relatively low drop of the shoe (compared to my other running shoes), but these also gave me some pain in my calf and achilles. The pain went away a few days later with lots of stretching and massage gunning, but again not an issue I've ever had before! Some people swear by these shoes, but I'm here to say that they are certainly not for everyone

Uncomfortable

I bought these and had very high hopes and after not even a couple hours into my shift they started making a squeaking noise. I now sound like a duck walking down the hallways and have not seemed to get it to go away. Tried reaching out to customer service and had no luck.

This shoe did not work well at all with orthotics. It actually started making my foot hurt. I have a friend who was unable to wear them without orthoticss because they hurt the arch of her foot and rubbed a sore spot on it. I tried to give it a chance and had high expectations but I believe I will stick with my Brooks glycerin from here on out.

I'm so disappointed with this because I ordered white/orange & yellow. What came was blue/orange. I returned the shoes.

Did not fit well. My left shoe felt like the middle arch kept pushing into my foot and my right shoe kept slipping off my back foot.

I bought the shoes to wear to work, very uncomfortable

They are almost the same as my old ones. But, they have the numbers & letters printed on the outside of the sneaker, on the white part, on the instep on both sneakers: 530x19|V502|W214 and I can not remove it. The other sneakers do not have this printed on them. Never saw it before on any sneakers I've purchased...?

Not enough cushion

I'm currently wearing Clifton 8. The pair I received was awful. There was absolutely no cushioning or support.

Love the look but the feel, not so much. The seam of the outside of the arch actually hits about an inch into my arch. Basically the shoes arch doesn't align with the arch of my foot. I originally thought I just needed to break them in, but unfortunately it ended up causing me extreme pain. I tried to return but it was past the return period. Super bummed.

Very disappointed. The shoes caused large painful blisters on the outside of my big toes on both feet as well as blisters and irritation to both arches. I will be returning these shoes.

I've been trying to wear these for months and get blisters all over the soles of my feet and toes every time. They feel heavy to walk in as well. I walk every morning and have never gotten blisters, ever, until I decided to try Hokas.

I used to run in Bondi B's back in the day. I ran three marathons in them. So I bought these and omg they feel like they is a metal bar that runs sideways across the shoe in front of the heel right through my instep. The heel is super stiff like it's encased in a hard cup. I expected cushy and didn't get it. I'm really disappointed. My feet hurt so bad after one run in these. I strained my calf due to the bad foot mechanics in these. I literally limped around for three days and couldn't run after one run in these. I wanted to love them but they just didn't work out for me.

I purchases two pair and both have insoles that appear to have been cut too small and I am unable to wear without thick socks..then the feel too narrow..very disappointed

Everybody, I know loves the shoes. They felt like they were pushing up the edges of the outside of my feet. I wore them several times and then my knees started to hurt. I gave them away.

Look forward to half size down.

Not as cushiony as I thought they'd be. Tight fit abd uncomfortable. I'm planning on returning them.

I was a bit disappointed for sure because my original Bondi pair that are wide were perfect but these Clifton Wide aren't very wide for my bunions. Especially when you pay high end prices for great shoes
