Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Really liked the 7s than the 8s were so so ! These 9s are just awful! Too squishy . They totally changed my run style. After three runs my knee is feeling tweaked again. Have not felt that in four years.

Loved the Clifton 8. Made significant changes to the 9. Doesn't look like the Clifton's I've had before and a little bulkier.

I usually wear a women's10 in sport shoes. Lately I feel they run too narrow in the toes for me, especially if I have them on most of the day for some serious walking. My podiatrist recommended HOKA but not a specific style so I am starting from ground 0. I called and asked for some help and was told one way to try a little wider is to order a men's shoe and that 9 should be my men's size. I ordered the Clifton and it was a bit long and too narrow. I have returned/exchanged for a men's Arahi 8.5 in wide EE so we shall see. I have to say that when I put the Cliftons on, the first thing I noticed was the soft footbed. second, my left heel was sliding off to the left, third, they became too tight in the toes after10-15 minutes in the house. PS: my favorite look of all the HOKA shoes is the Cotopaxi Breeze but it does not come in wide sizes. That is very frustrating to me. Please make more of them in men's Wide.

I was so looking forward to receive the sneakers. They are comfortable but it seems they are slippery when you walk on a water surface, and come inside.

I first bought the Bondi SR for work because it was water resistant and anti slip but then realized it was too hot for summer. Purchased this since it was advertised as breathable but wasn't as cool as I hoped. Comfort is not bad, I still get some pain in my knees after being on my feet a long period of time. Feet feel hot after wearing it a long time too.

The shoe feels a bit floppy, too roomy and less responsive than previous model.

They don't fit like the previously clifton (8's) do so I wanted to return them, only to find out that I can only exchange them with the same style, just different size or color. That's disappointing.

Recent below the knee amputation shoes work very well.

The shoe has a great style and look to it is the good thing. The last pair I hd was a Clifton 7. They were such a good fit. They looked good and they were so comfortable. The Clifton 9 is a disappointment compared to them.

Only complaint is the outside of the sites hurt.

would not recommend

I found the balance to be bad. I think it is actually dangerous. Maybe it will improve as the cushion gets flatter. I think the wide front is ugly.

I previously brought the Gaviota 4 and they were uncomfortable on my back heel. I decided to try a different pair so I brought the Clifton 9 and the comfortable is slightly better but still not the most comfortable.

This shoe is very comfortable but the soles wear pretty fast. I walk 1-2 mile per day on the sidewalk and the soles are already worn down after 2 1/2 months. They also get dirty pretty fast. It's like the dirt just show up out of nowhere. Something to keep in mind with this type of material.

My Plantar fasciitis disappeared. Thanks, Hoka.

I purchased the Clifton 9's after wearing my Clifton 8's everyday to work which is about 20,000 steps a day in a warehouse. The 9's don't feel like they have the same arch support, thus I have to go back to wearing my custom supports to prevent my foot from tilting in, this was not a problem with the 8's. It was the only shoe I ever purchased that I didn't have to wear them.

Does not fit like other HOKA's and I am looking for another brand of shoe to purchase.

Compared to the Clifton 8 I found the material of these shoes to be much stiffer and not as soft and plush Clifton 8. I do like the style change on the top of the shoe making it look less big and rounded at the toe.

Use as primary shoe for exercise and work. Based on early use not sure it is what I need. As it is to help with pronation it has yet to be helpful. I will give it until I see my podiatrist, but have concerns. Was unimpressed with customer service

For me ran a size small and a bit narrow.

Great foot and leg support on long walks Product is somewhat pricey for me being retired

I like the stability of the shoe and it seems to help me with my leg problems. I have a wide foot and EE usually works. Next pair will be EEE if they make them.

Shoe appears to be fine, but note there is a lot of cushion with this shoe. I find it harder to run because of this extra cushion.

The back heal is too squishy Clifton sevens were the best design.
