The sides of the shoe rubbed against my ankle bone painfully. I returned them. Also, they make my feet look larger than other shoes do.

Purchased in June for my son who’s on his feet at work. Unfortunately he wore them in a pick-up basketball game after work and the side split on one shoe. So while they were comfortable for him, these shoes didn’t hold up in real life situations.

Very comfortable and has a soft ride. Unfortunately they have a very thin sole. They changed the sole from the previous model. I don’t think I have 60 miles on them and they’re trash. Very disappointed

I was very excited to get these shoes after reading reviews, and asking people in-person how they felt. Unfortunately, my feet hurt quite a bit wearing these, especially on the outer edge and top. I didn't want to return them immediately, because I figured I needed to break them in, but after a month, I think the verdict is in. These aren't for me.

I am disappointed that both pairs of Hoka's failed to provide me with any relief from neuropathy. Consequently, I wish to return both pairs for a full refund.

The only thing wrong with this shoe is how NOISY they are! Every step is a very loud "squeak" and it never got better after a small amount of use.

The Clifton 9 was a total disappointment. I've worn the Clifton 8's and love them... The support in the 9 just isn't there. Tried them for a few days and my feet were aching after a few hours.....

I bought these shoes for my son for his birthday. He needed a pair of athletic shoes with good support. He wanted to try Hoka's and received these the week of May 20th, 2024. He very much likes the way the feel on his feet but after wearing them for a little over a week they already have 2 holes in the toe box. Very disappointed in how they are holding up.

they fit well, just a little bigger than my normal 11.5 and I did like the way they looked but didn't think they were comfortable.

The shoe is tighter than expected but I don't need a wide fit shoe never have it's just the design and the shoe is way overpriced compared to a sketchers brand model that's comparable.

I would have bought the Clifton 8 again if they had my Size and color. They are not as comfortable and show excessive sighs of wear in short period of time.I have had For 6 weeks. Not as happy with these as I was with the Clifton 8.

If you have size 15 or higher, don't bother with these shoes. You'll look like a damn clown. I am about 6'5, and with these I felt like I was gonna hit the doorways in my house. Like Victor Wembayana. SUPER comfy, but in a "I'm wearing actual king-size pillows on my feet, and I look like an idiot" kinda way.

I ordered wide and they don't fit. They're very tight not happy now. I'm trying to get a refund now. I had to jump through hoops just to get a refund. No return label inbox very frustrated.

I'm not sure yet if I like my new HOKAs or not. I searched for the best HOKAs for men for walking and this was the sneaker recommended. When I wore them the first couple times to treadmill, when I took them off, my socks were soaked with blood. I think they squeezed my toes so tight together, one of my toenails cut the other toe and caused it to bleed ... and they were not long at all. I've worn them a few more times and it has not happened again. But, the are very cushion-y. I have a colleague that bought a pair, too, and he does not like them. I think people either love them or hate them.

I am on my second pair of Clifton 9. Both pairs seperate from the sole of the shoe by the knuckle of the big toe. The second pair I've only had for a few months. The Clifton 8's I wore longer, I weighed much more and then never showed signs of separation. I still wear them in the yard and you can also tell the have much better arch support.

These feel great and gave my husband relief for some of the issues he had with other shoes. The issue with these shoes is that they are not made well. He has worn them for about a week and it is evident that the soles are wearing down too soon. If money is no object and you do not mind this, then go ahead. Frankly at this price point it is a huge disappointment. I do not mind paying for a quality shoe but I find this beyond disappointing. For reference he is not an athlete and walks for health reasons and weight control. He walks about 2 miles in the am and 2 miles in the pm. I don't think that is anything radical that would wear out a well made shoe in a week.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, Olukai, Dunham, and some of the older New Balance shoes

These shoes were not an improvement from the Clifton 8, which were amazing. I think I had 4 pairs. The new ones have too much stack height and don't have the same Clifton feel as the last couple models. Really hope hoka brings the 8 design back.

I love the shoe and it was definitely comfortable but i ordered the wide version and it still felt quite narrow. Not sure why that is. Will be returning
