Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

Sizing was really off. I like a roomy toe box and I heard these ran a bit narrow, so I sized up and wide. They were too small despite that, and also felt very narrow!

Way too wide for my narrow foot.

I have been wearing Hokas for years. This particular pair did not last. I’ve worn them only 4 months and they are completely worn out

Heel is bouncy but that allows your weight to sink to the heels. The arched sole is not flush to the side of the shoe, so it sticks into your foot.

Returned these and didn’t get my refund. That’s how they fit

The shoes are very comfortable, I was just disappointed to see that the bottom of the shoes had dried mud all over it so it had obviously been worn already.

Very little support, my foot slips all around in this shoe when going up and down hills. But the worst thing is that they are squeaky. I’ve worn these a few times, so I can’t return. You can’t wear them in a quiet place. How embarrassing!! Hard to believe for a Hoka.

Day 2 and arch cuts into my arch

I've had narrow, sensitive feet all my life. When I used to shop in a downtown location, the guys in the shoe stores used to cringe when they saw me coming! For years, I've gotten by with Haflingers and Keens but I developed Plantar Fasciitis from my Keen's this summer. To make matters worse, now that I'm an old lady, I have rheumatoid and osteoarthritis in my feet and back. I also have Plantar Fasciitis and hammer toes so that makes me a nightmare when buying shoes. Zappos has been wonderful about letting me try and return numerous shoes. These shoes felt very good - at first. I wore them for three hours. Then my lower back started to hurt. Then my toes started to hurt. Then my back developed muscle spasms and I was in pain for the rest of the night. These were the only shoes I had tried that day. I know I am the absolute exception to the rule but of the sixteen pairs of shoes I bought, not one of them caused a reaction that severe, nor have any in the past done so. This may never happen to anyone else in the history of mankind, but if you bear any similarities to me, please be careful when you try these shoes on. And, man, they really looked good on me!!!

I ordered the wide because the narrow/medium was crazy narrow and felt very stiff. I don't normally wear a wide shoe. I am coming from Brooks Ghost 10.5 regular B width. These were tight all the way around. This brand seems to be so popular but I couldn't love it. They are going back.

There's a very sharp edge to the sole insert that makes wearing the shoe impossible. Lovely design; horrible feel.

The shoes have a nice squishy feel, but too wide for me in toe area. Because of this, I came home from a trip with large blisters on side of feet
