The shoe is very comfortable and lightweight. I am a basketball referee and these shoes save my knees. The only issue I have with the shoes is they are listed as an all black shoe and that is not the case. There is a great deal of grey in the shoe and is very contrasting to the black.

I loved my Clifton 8s had two pairs and they served me well. I tried two different pairs from the new Clifton 9s and the size and fitting were not the same. I wanted to like them so much but I gave up and switched to a different brand.

The wide fit was tight and the comfort wasn't quite like the other pairs I have bought in the past. I was rather disappointed as the pain has returned in legs and feet. I'm hoping I got a bad production cut.

The feel is not as good as 8. Whatever changed was not for the good.

I love the style and color of the Clifton 9 I purchased, and was excited to have a pair, after owning several pairs of the Bondi line over the years. They are lightweight, which seemed ideal for travel/packing! Unfortunately, we traveled to a place where a great deal of walking was going to happen: Disney. Hokas have always been a good friend to my feet at Disney, but again, I always wore the Bondi. The Clifton was indeed light, but after a day of walking at Disney, they clearly felt too snug, and did not have the ideal amount of cushion for long days of walking. (Fortunately I had a pair of Bondis with me too!) The Clifton ended up causing a blister, even after having and wearing them for many weeks before the trip. They may be perfect for someone else, but I've learned my expensive lesson and will stick with the Bondi from now on.

There is a terribly placed seam in the toe box, big toe makes contact with it on every foot strike. So far, have gone on two 5 mile runs and felt the seam rubbing my big toe. Blister waiting to happen on a longer run. Will mess around with the lacing pattern to get around it, if not successful back to Zappos and back to the 8s I go. Everything else about the shoe is great and Hoka as expected.

Although I love Hokas, these are my least favorite pair among my 6 Hokas. The Cliftons are not as comfortable as the Bondis, because the arch support hits in a slightly different place. In addition, I ended up really disliking this Nimbus Cloud/Steel Wool color, as it looks dingy and dirty even straight out of the box.

The right shoe has somehow changed and hurts my foot so bad I can't wear them anymore. Very disappointed.

These shoes are comfortable, however they fall apart after two months of active running never had a pair of shoes fall apart before.

We are returning these because someone else wore them before sending to us. There is a stain on the right shoe and the bottoms of shoes show dirt

I have been wearing this running shoe for years. I go through several pairs a year. Something was off with the shoes that were shipped to me. The cushion and support felt different.

Came damaged. Left shoe looked liked it was already tried on. Insert had a significant folded crease in it. I took a picture, however no place to download on this review. Felt very uncomfortable in that area like somethingwas pushing up from underneath. Purchased on sale. So no replacement. Only refund money. Love my other Cliffton 9's. So, disappointed I'm just SOL. I did call customer service. Basically told oh well, it happens on rare occasions. Nothing we are going to do to make right except refund your money. Overall, very disappointed with Hoka.

2 stars for the Clifton9 The lump of insole under the arch is painful it can ruin your feet if you going to be doing a lot of walking. I won’t ever trust Hoka again these are not for me!

Shoes felt really hard. I have heard nothing but good things about the brand but these felt real hard. I didn't feel any support in the shoe as far as the insoles go. I'm hoping the needed to be broken in but didn't have the time. So I'll stay with my nikes that are ready to go out of the box for now. Especially, since they are the same price

The shoe itself is great but the pair received from Zappos had clearly been worn- a lot. They were scuffed up and dirty on the upper fabric and the tread was worn down with rocks stuck in there. Clearly returned and no one check to see that shoes were in new condition.

Shoes are very comfortable however lasted less than 6 months as a hole has formed on the side of one of them. I’ve owned several Hokas and they def lasted longer. Even though there’s obviously a quality issue with these shoes, Zappos’ policy is that unworn shoes cannot be returned and refused to offer a better solution. Hence purchase at your own risk. Not recommended!

I normally wear New Balance, but bought these because everyone was raving about Hoka. I have a wide foot and the fit was fine, my issue was they were too cushy...it felt like walking on marshmallows. I need a lot more stability in my shoes. I returned them and bought another pair of New Balance and am happy.
