Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

I found the Clifton 8's to be extremely comfortable and especially supportive while running. My only disappointment is that holes started to appear inside the heals of both shoes. Maybe that's just normal wear and tear after running 8 miles a day, but I had hoped for better quality in my Hoka's.

The only thing I don't like about them is that they squeek abit with inserts I have to use. That is the only thing that bothers me. The cushion is great and they are very stable while running.

I have purchased over 10 Clifton (same size) for some reason this most recent purchase is smaller than previous versions and they are not comfortable

Use for walking glad I brought themm

As a die-hard Clifton-1 runner, I stopped purchasing the newer Clifton models after 5, as they made my quads feel like lead. But now that my supply of 1's is dwindling, I figured I'd give the 8's a try... and they felt great! Glad whatever was done wrong with the 5's was fixed.

Not as good support as the Bondi, however a nice shoe.

Main reason I got these was that I could not find any "normal looking" trail or running shoes that did not have the appearance of some bizarre, multi-colored tropical bird on my feet! Ridiculous colour patterns out there. Got these in plain black and white, which was OK. However, a P.S. to HOKA though - Please make more shoe options in muted colours that would perhaps be more suitable for older gen. folks or less "flashy" use. Thanks! As with all these trail/running shoes whether from Salomon, Altra, HOKA, etc. I think they are way overpriced for how much shoe you get v. typical running shoes from places like Big 5...but there too they are now all multi-coloured monstrosities, so have to shop online for any plainer choices. Overall these Clifton 8's are very comfortable, and traction appears to be good - which was important to me after a prior pair of trail shoes that slipped on any moist or wet terrain. Will see how they hold up as camp shoes for my Sierra's backpacking trips. They sure cost enough, so hopefully will be long lasting. MM

My third pair of Cliftons. They make my plantar fasciitis feel better.

I work in the operating room, spend a lot of time on my feet. The shoe was comfortable and fit well from day 1. My feet are still sore by the end of the day but these are superior to athletic cross trainer brands I have purchased from department stores

I purchased the Hoka Clifton 8 to replace my pair of Hoka Asaka shoes. I tried more traditional tennis court shoes, but nothing felt as light and comfortable as my Hokas, even though the sole wears out faster because of court play. The sole grip of the Clifton 8 is great for the courts. The upper mesh is light and strong enough to endure the constant stop and redirection of play. This is now my 5th pair of Hokas. I hope that in the future, the company will develop a Hoka shoe design specifically for Pickleball.

I walk 5-7 miles a day, shoes are great but I do experience heel pain with factory insoles , aftermarket insoles helped greatly

Shoes are comfortable but not as comfortable as my Rincons.
