I have had this shoe since June this week, and the sole started separating. I have worn the shoe back and forth to the hospital to see about mom and to the grocery store. I am not expecting this from HOKA. Please send me a new shoe. It has been very comfortable

This has been my FAVORITE shoe in a long time. I wear orthotics (due to Multiple Sclerosis) and this is the only shoe that could accommodate my different braces. Lots of support, and of all the Hokas I've tried, this was the only one that made me feel grounded and not "off balance". I'm really sad they have discontinued this shoe. The Clifton 10 is too high and bouncy; it feels more like the Bondi, which doesn't work for me.

Great shoe. Good toe box; I would recommend ordering 1/2 size up for first time buyers. I want to order other colors now. I have machine washed them twice & they held up well. I always take the insole out & never use the dryer.

the fit is fine…. however, ithe sole of shoes is falling apart after 4 moths of moderate wear. I would like to see about as full refund These Hoka shoes were 125.00 +. What happened to the quality of this brand for the amount paid!!!!

Great sneaker. Erased my planters fasciitis completely. The only issue was the sole started disintegrating after about 5 months. Kind of a pricey sneaker only to last a few months. Need to fix their quality over at Hoka. Unfortunate.

I liked these shoes but I would not buy them again. I am not hard on shoes. I stand all day in a workshop without much movement. These shoes only lasted about a year. I bought them May 2024. I had to throw them away July 2025. The soles came unglued, and I had to throw them away. I did attempt to glue the pieces back on, but they came off again and in more places. Really disappointed since they are such expensive shoes. I just bought the Bondi 9, hopefully these will last.

Best shoes I've ever worn. Have neuropathy in both feet and these shoes made me feel like I was walking on clouds with every single step.

The sizing was fine, but the right shoe arch was digging into my arch. The soles were comfortable, but these had to be returned because of the very uncomfortable arch.

These were my favorite pair of tennis shoes I have had. I am a nurse working 12 hour shifts and my feet and legs felt great in them. The problem is they have lasted only 6 months and now my feet start aching at beginning of shift. Don't think a $150 pair of shoes should wear out so quickly with just walking.

Poor quality. Only worn 4-5 times and the sole started coming off. The first couple of times wearing they really hurt around the ankle, but then broke in. Hoka does offer 365 day warranty.

I've had these sneakers for almost a year now, and I have been unable to sufficiently break them in. After a run, my feet are sore like I'm still running in new shoes. They are still quite stiff and not like the Hoka Clifton 7s I still use for walking since these Clifton 9s are so uncomfortable.
