Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Left foot very comfortable; exactly what I wanted and expected. Right foot arch is different and hurts my foot and ankle.

Fits too big

I had been a loyal user of Hoka Bondi 7 for a year, which served me well despite being a bit wide. However, my recent purchase has left me deeply disappointed after just a week of use. Sadly, I find myself in a difficult situation as buying another pair is financially challenging, given my profession as a janitor. The back pain I've been experiencing since switching to this new shoe adds to my distress. Adapting to this uncomfortable situation is my only option at the moment.

Two stars because they look good and are lightweight. My problem is the right shoes feels great but the left shoe digs into the inner arch of my left foot, like the shoe has a high spot and it puts all the pressure on the inner edge of my foot. Never had a issue with a shoe doing this before. Might try another pair and see how that goes. If it wasn't for the left shoe it would've been five stars, the right shoe is fantastic.

I heard good things about this shoe so I ordered a couple of pairs. Not bad, light and fits well but not worth the price.

Love the look and especially the slip in capability but it's not made in extra wide and shoe runs narrow.

First shoes which I bought the same model second time

I went for a run the morning after a rain and the sole was noticeably slippery on damp pavement. I've had several pairs of Hokas and this is the first time I've had this issue. I had about 20 miles on the shoes.

The show is physically massive. Almost laughably so. They are squishy which feels nice BUT they make you walk on your heels as the toe box area is super thick. Consequently I would not advise buying them if you plan on walking any distance.

It is ok other than the size is small. I bought my normal size 9, but it feels too tight. You need half size up.

They are not comfortable, they feel heavier

Wearing these since mid April so less than 4 months. Previous Hokas (this is my 7 th pair) have worn out in the inside heel. These are wearing very well in that area but bottom of shoe is almost shot since almost all of the tread is gone and looks as if it will soon be splitting. Obviously disappointed that they only lasted 4 months. Too expensive for so little wear.

I enjoyed my Hoka's for about three months and then both shoes began to rip apart on the side. I minimally used them over the three month span as I wanted to keep them fresh throughout the summer to ramp up the workload. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to wear them since May because of the tears in both shoes. I am very disappointed given how much the shoes cost, lack of durability and based on the potential they had. I have no other choice but to purchase future shoes from another brand that fits my needs.

I stand on my feet all day, 8-10 hours a day. After 4-5 hours on my feet (standing and walking), I got extreme pain behind my toes on the top of my right foot. I'm hoping that the Bondis will give me some relief.

Loved the Clifton 8 so ordered the 9 without hesitation but the sole gives some under the heel just standing up from being seated.. didn't feel sturdy enough at all or as comfortable as the 8 or the Arahi which are great

Confining on my toes where other 12W fit fine

Meant for walking, went to a local retailer

I don't know if it was the Clifton style or the Hoka shoe in general, but I was expecting to walk on clouds and though very comfortable, not cloud like!

I really wanted to like these shoes. When I first put them on I could tell they could be very good, comfortable shoes. I usually buy Skechers so I used the TruFit app on their website to make sure I got the right size. I get a regular size 13 in skechers based in that I was told I would need a regular size 13 for these shoes. It is not even close. The shoes are narrow and short compared to the Skechers I wear. The first few days I wore then they seemed fine, but as I did more walking in them the poor fit started manifesting and these quickly became very uncomfortable shoes across the top of my foot and at my toes. Hoping I can get my money back, Mayne exchange for a different pair.

NOT GOOD for runs over 5 miles. The medial elastic on the tongue creates huge arch blisters that I've never experienced before.

My low review isn't because of comfort or quality of the shoe. I really want to like these shoes because of the comfort, but for me the sizing just seems off. I had my foot scanned at local running store. They didn't have the size so I ordered directly from Hoka. My normal size was too narrow. Thankfully I could return the shoes, GREAT customer service! Ordered a wide pair, but now they feel too big. Just having trouble finding a good size for me. I feel like I'm going to have heal slippage while running. I will update if they turn out ok.

I wish I got double extra wide. Their extra wide is still too tight.

I am not happy about seeing this damage on an almost new pair of Hoka shoes. This did not happen on either of my first two pairs of Hokas.
