Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

Fit true to size. Didn't have the issue that other reviewers commented on (i.e. being narrow at forefoot). I have medium to high arches, so the arch support was not a nuisance for me... though it could be bothersome for those with low arches or flat feet. Roomy toe box in my opinion. Super comfortable underfoot and feet feel very stable. I have not suffered shin splints nor fatigue in legs/feet after wearing the Clifton 8s. Awesome shoe!!

This is actually a quite nice little shoe though I probably should have ordered a half size larger. I will manage with this by using a shoe stretcher at first and give them a good wear to break them in properly. If you are a Men's Size 9, your toe will be right up front and by lifting it, you will definitely see it. I also have a wider foot than the D would indicate which is another reason to stretch it a bit. Why don't manufacturers cater to those of us with wider feet? Think of the possibilities if they did. PUMA missed the boat completely on that one!!

Like walking on clouds

Quite a bit longer than expected. Typically wear 8 or 8.5 and in this case, I am going to return the 8 for a 7.5.

Fit was true to size. I bought these for work and they are working out just fine.

Good fit , light weight.

Nice shoes. I’m 210 lbs and feel the shoes could be a little stronger. Websites that sell Hokas, don’t really discuss the strength of the shoe as compared to the person’s weight. I’m sure the woman’s model is more supportive on a comparative basis. Bottom line: I’m happy with this Hoka model.

Too narrow in the toe box foe me.

These shoes are very comfortable and I like the overall sportyness of the design. What I do not like is that the inside near the back of heel is ripping after a few months of wear. Overall these are good if you stand on your feet all day at your job.

I use them for walking, about 6mi daily. They are comfortable and don’t hurt my feet. A little bit of stability issues when hiking but I knew that. The only issue is they wear out quickly - 4 months tops, probably closer to 3.

This is an initial review of the HOKA Clifton 8 after two runs, I’ll try to do one after a year if anyone is interested. Shoes seem to fit true to size and felt comfortable. The stack felt big and initially the shoe felt a little mushy for the first few hundred yards, but I think that was because I’d never had shoes with this much padding. I’m 60 and retired with 26 years in the military, so I have a lot of wear on me, in addition to probably an extra 10-15 pounds. So, I was getting some knee pain from running with cheap shoes. Only doing about three miles for now, but they felt very comfortable and no knee pain. They were a little more then I would normally spend, but Zappos sent a $40 off coupon because we bought some kids shoes last year. After two runs I am very pleased with them and debating on a second pair to rotate with them or find another HOKA shoe to pair them with.

In the right shoe on the inside of the ankle there is a piece of plastic inside that might not be installed correctly and it rub’s a little uncomfortable.
