Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

These shoes used to last very long with quality being top notch. Now not so much for the price. Size is also not the same if used to be.

Some other manufacturers tell you to just go up an entire size if you have wide feet, which means you have to walk around on shoes that are too long for your feet, with floppy ends that catch on things as you walk. It is not easy finding wide shoes so I was excited to find that Hoka sells shoes in wide sizes. I was hesitant to make the purchase after reading some reviews that the Clifton 9 Wide runs narrow, but decided to make the purchase anyway. After receiving them, I tried them on and found them to feel VERY tight on my feet, even more so than a normal-width shoe might.

Too big might return

I have heard so much praise of Hoka shoes. When I started having heal pain I thought I would try them. I couldn't be more disappointed. Aside from being ugly, the construction is so unconventional that I found it hard to walk and feel steady in them. I wore them for two days and never got used to it. Not at all a comfortable experience. Don't buy these shoes unless you can try them on first.

The rubber on the bottom of the shoe is already coming off. I have only been wearing the shoes for 40 days. My job requires me to be on my feet walking a lot, but my hokas in the past have last much long. Very expensive shoe to fall apart that fast

The Clifton 9 is very high on the front inside of the ankles and is painful. Very disappointed because the Clifton 7 and 8 were terrific.

Shoe is more grey than black, so sad.

I heard amazing reviews about these shoes! I never spend money on myself and I thought that since my birthday was around the corner, I would splurge a little on my feet. I am a teacher and being on my feet all day is not uncommon. So, the day after I received them in the mail, I wore them to work. Within 3 hours of wearing them my feet hurt. I thought that maybe I had to break them in. I then decided to take them to Legoland since I would be walking a lot. Big mistake--my feet hurt again and this time, I got blisters on my feet. I am really disappointed.

The shoes seemed good, but didn't fit right -- So I sent the 3 pairs back through your system. I tracked them and it was the WORST experience I've ever witnessed. It took 3 days to leave the US Post Office, and went from Dallas to Fort Worth -- and sat there; then it came back to the Dallas area (Irving) =- and now I have no idea where it is. This took over a week to get back to where it started. I could have ridden my bike in 1/2 a day and done a better job. I hate to think of all the gas, pollution, etc. using this carrier has caused! I'D RATHER JUST PAY FOR UPS!!!

the size is too big and the window to return is short!

Too small. not true to size.

THESE SHOES RUN SMALL. THEY HURT MY FEET SO BAD, I HAVE BRUISED BLOOD IN MY BIG TOE, AND LITERALLY HAD TO WALK ON THE BACK OF THEM AFTER WORKING IN RETAIL ALL DAY. I TRIED TO RETURN THEM BUT THIS SITE KEPT CRASHING AND RELOADING. THESE ARE LITERALLY THE WORST SHOES I'VE EVER HAD. I'VE NEVER HAD A BRUISED TOE IN MY LIFE. I HATED I WASTED MY MONEY AND WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN.

THESE ARE THE WORST SHOES I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I'VE ALWAYS WORN A 9.5. I ORDERED THE CLIFTON 9's AND THE TIP OF MY TOE WAS AT THE VERY EDGE OF THE SHOE. THESE SHOES HURT MY FEET SO BAD THAT AFTER A DAY OF RETAIL WORK, I LITERALLY HAD TO WALK ON THE BACK OF THESE SHOES IN AN EFFORT TO RELIEVE MY FEET, AND NOW BRUISED BLOOD TOE. I ATTEMPTED TO RETURN THESE SHOES AND THIS SITE KEPT CRASHING AND RELOADING. HOKA LOVES TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY OF THIS CHEAP STYROFOAM OVER PRICED CRAPPY SHOE, THEN WHY DON'T YOU TELL PEOPLE HOW SMALL THEY RUN, AND HOW YOU REALLY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO RETURN THEM AFTER THEY SPEND $150 - $200 DOLLARS PURCHASING THEM. I WILL NEVER, EVER ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS NO GOOD FOR NOTHING COMPANY AGAIN. THESE ARE LITERALLY THE WORST SHOES I'VE EVER PURCHASED IN MY LIFE. IT'S BEEN 2 WEEKS AND I'M STILL TRYING TO HEAL MY TOE FROM THIS BRUISED BLOOD! I SINCERELY HOPE YOU GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!!

The shoe itself was narrow.

I bought product for my daily walk. I've never had problems with walking sneakers or shoes in the past. I wanted to upgrade after all the great reviews on HOKA . They kill my right foot so bad one walk I took them off and walked back barefoot

I order wide, but they not like the Hoka One shoes

Why did they change it?

It hurt the front of my ankle, so I returned them

The bottoms are already wearing off and leaving black rubber on my floors - only have worn for one month and also when walking they make a clicking noise at the bottom. I have worn Hoka for a long time and have purchased many shoes from Hoka - this is the worse.

This is my third generation purchase - having loved the 7 & 8 Clifton. The series 9's toe-box is cramped - I cannot run in the 9, I can only walk, row, or use the elliptical in them. Currently recovering from a blister on the baby toe. Maybe a half size up or wide would work, but I can't afford to guess at this point.

I have 6 pairs of Clifton 8s which were the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Could not wait for the 9s and what a let down. Literally, the worst shoe experience ever! Too tight and first time I have ever had multiple blisters from walking. Perhaps the material is new and unproven or they are being manufactured differently but the shoe is simply awful. What a disappointment! The 8 made me a Hoka customer for life, the 9 ended the relationship. Wish there was a zero star option.

First, these will get returned. I have 10 pair of various brand shoes, all size 10D and they fit perfectly. These in 10D are too tight across the top of the foot, and the width is very narrow at the knuckles. The sole is super soft, I don't see this lasting more than 2 months.
