Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Hoka's are the most comfortable however these run slightly small, at least for my feet. I have had other Hoka's but these just feel a little tighter than usual for my size shoe. Other than that it looks great and feels like you are walking on a cloud.

Very comfortable just had back surgery one month ago

I just had back surgery and they are very comfortable

I realized I need an .5 size bigger but if you use afterpay , though the options did say you can exchange same shoe different size, I couldn't click that button so I couldn't exchange it :(

Where the shoe daily. Chunk of Sole ripped out but the tread was already wore flat. Only lasted 3 to 4 months

My first pair of HOKAs was One-One. Cliffords are equally comfortable, and perhaps a little more so for walking. I first ordered size 9.5, my usual size, but they were small, so I exchanged them of size10, which fits perfectly.

Shoe size seems to run a bit small. I ordered 7.5 Wide, my normal size shoe. Even with the Wide shoe, it still caused pain in the width. Returned for 8 W and initially it still felt tight but after wearing the shoe for 3 days, it is starting to loosen up and feel better.

I'm a long time runner, with well close to 43K logged miles the last 30 years. I switched to Hoka in 2016 and this is my 18th pair, most of them Clifton's. I wasn't quite ready for a new pair for a few months, but stopped in a running store and made an impulse buy due to the weight being a bit lighter and good reviews from the store manager as well as online (a phone can help in situations like this). I've only run in the Clifton 9 (size 11) 3 times, and so it may be too soon to tell. While they are comfortable and responsive there is some unusual rubbing on both inner ankles that is more noticeable when I walk in them moreso than running. I haven't compared them to my two Clifton 8's but there has to be some difference in how they are made to cause this. The other odd thing is when I take them off there are red marks on both feet where the upper holes have been laced. I like a reasonable snug fit, and don't want to feel any slippage so trying to loosen them is probably not going to work, but it's a relatively minor issue that hopefully will work itself out as the shoe breaks in. Yesterday's workout included some 1 min intervals so gave me a good chance to see how they respond to some increased cadence and force, and they were comfortable. No issues there. I have another 10 runs on a pair of 2022 Clifton 8's before the 9's go fully into my rotation with my newer 8's.

Amazing shoe for daily running and walking. Lots of cushion and comfort. My 2nd pair of Cliftons. Only gripe is the tear that develops after a few weeks of use and moves to bottom of sole. Has happened to both pair same locations on outside of shoes. Too expensive for this to be happening.

I bought these because I stand on a concrete floor 5 hours a day & others had recommended these shoes. I found they were fine & supportive for a couple hours, then my feet just hurt & wanted to take them off. So, maybe I will just wear them for other things.

Very comfortable. Limited selection at certain larger sizes/widths, it seems.

comportable shoe but size run small and so does width other than that they are very good shoes

My feet feels way better now. The width feels fine but after longer hours of standing then it feels a little narrow. Kind of makes me want to try the wider one.

Use this two or three times a week for an everyday shoe

Too tight at the toe

I have had a pair of Hokas that I have had a year and a half and are great shoes but needed to be replaced. I chose this pair because it was for walking. They don't feel as soft as my first pair did when I bought them. These also feel off balanced. One shoe feels higher than the other. They are also very stiff when putting on. I was disappointed but they will have to do.

Once I adjusted the laces and became familiar with the height they are great!

For walking and standing long periods. Would like to see more options in wide sizes. Stimpson mid for example

Everyday shoe

My pediatrist recommended that I wear rocker bottom shoes. I thought that is what I purchased but they don't seem to have any rocker bottom shape to them. I'm disappointed.

SUGGESTED BY MY DOCTOR. HAD TO TAKE OUT THE INSOLE WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE BACK OF MY HEEL THEN THEY ALSO FELT TO SMALL AFTER GETTING A HALF SIZE LARGER. THEY ARE SUPPORTIVE AND SOFT BUT I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO GO UP ANOTHER SIZE.

In my opinion the Clifton 8 was a better shoe. The comfort level in the Clifton 8 is superior to the 9. The sizing does feel a bit smaller.

I use my shoes for walking every day. The comfort level is great. Stability and-overall design are great however, much improvement needed on soles of the shoes. I have only had the shoes for one month and they already showing a lot of wear on the bottom of the shoes

They feel great on my feet. I have been walking in them daily and they have been comfortable. However, I notice the bottoms are showing a lot of wear after a month of wearing I typically buy Nikes and have never notice wear that soon at the bottom of the shoes hoping if you come out with a Clifton tens you improve the bottom of the footwear so it doesn't. We are so quickly.
