Women size fits true to it's size. The material is soft. Very light sneakers. I needed a pair that would help me through my endless hours work day. I felt bouncy in them. I definitely will be getting another pair for work!

I bought these shoes from my trip to Italy since I will be doing lots of walking I've already been testing them out with 10 to 15,000 steps today and they feel fabulous very thick cushion with so much support that I need! I bought my true size in these are usually have to go up a half a size and tennis shoes

Didn't realize how much of a difference new sneakers would make, especially ones with so much cushioning. I walk regularly for exercise and was having a lot of hip and knee joint pain; on the first long walk I took with my new sneakers I immediately discovered I had no pain. This is my second pair of Hokas - I wore the first pair out training for a 40k charity walk. I regret waiting so long to purchase my second pair. Love my Hokas and I'll never go back to my old brand!

I love them- they are light & supportive & they provide good stability. I use them to run about 4 miles on a treadmill.

I have tried every brand of gym shoes and these are the only ones that my feet never hurt in . From working in a school (walking on hard flooring non stop all day) to doing my workouts these are just the best ! Totally worth the money !

Sizing is at least a 1/2 size too big and feels very wide.

Not helping my metatarsalgia as I had hoped. Maybe a little bit.... Lots I like about them. So light weight. Like the all black look.

I loved the way these felt on my foot until I started walking and my heel started slipping. I need a generous toe box, but have a narrow heel, so it's tough to find a good fit. Unfortunately, these don't work.

This version is so much narrower in the toe box than previous iterations! Live the color but am totally disappointed in overall fit and sadly have to return! I wish Hoka would stop changing each version!:((

not 100% sure how i feel about these shoes yet. i wore them around the house and decided they were half a size too big. i'd seen them recommend to size up half a size, so i did. i would not recommend doing that, especially if you're planning on getting the wider option. they felt a bit too big around the heel and too wide, considering. the bigger the size, the wider the shoe. hope this helps! costumer service was great though, they made the exchange hassle free. other then that, the shoe does feel very comfortable, excited to run in them. the soles do wear out very easily. i'd recommend getting them from Hoka directly as they let you try the shoes for 30 days, money back guarantee. i wish i knew Zappos has a no wearing policy.

I liked this sneaker. It has a comfortable toe box and good cushion all around. The problem is, I noticed it had extra support on the outside edge of the food - seemingly for people who experience supenation (when your foot rolls outward when you run). I don't have that problem so it felt uncomfortable for me.

Narrower toe box. The Clifton 8's were better.

These shoes fit perfectly but have somewhat low arch support. A previous reviewer noted the tongue went up to her ankle and this is true but I didn't find it uncomfortable. The tongue was also puffier than I have had on other running shoes. I bought the sunset ocean/lilac mist and the color was exactly as described.

Material is very flexible, light, cool and comfortable. The back support is comfortably soft, but still firm enought to provide good ankle support. However, I found these Hokas to lack adequate arch support. The sole is beyond bouncy. The rocker made me lose my balance a few times.

I really wanted to keep these shoes, as they fit perfectly.....but the tongue was too long and cut into my ankle, making it uncomfortable. Please pass this along to HOKA so that they can get this modified for their next release.

I am almost always an 8 (regular width) in running shoes but when I tried on the regular with these, they felt just narrow. I then tried a 8 wide- felt my heel slip a bit so then I tried a 7.5 wide and they fit perfectly. I was wearing Hoka Transports before these and the bounciness of the cushion took a bit of getting used to on the Cliftons. I've only done 2-3 mile daily walks since purchasing a few days ago and they're good. Not the cutest and I'm still getting used to them so I'm looking forward to seeing how they wear after months.

Style & fit were just as described. Great if you have wide feet and a standard arch. Purchased an 8/12 wide , probably could have gone for 8 regular but will wear thicker socks.

The fit was true to size. However I occasionally noticed some big toe discomfort when jumping rope and running. I have ingrown toenails so that makes me sensitive to this issue. I also ordered a size 8, which was almost a bit too roomier but resolved the toe issue, so I am keeping the size 8 and returning the size 7.5.

I like Hoka. They're not the best looking sneaker in the world, but I really like them for walking. They feel good with my feet. I've also brought this brand with me to Disney parks and they worked out well.

They feel kinda big, like a chunky big. They are super comfortable and spongy on the inside.

I loved them but had to return them - I'm used to a heel drop of 7-8mm but LOVE the toe box in this and the cushion but the 5mm made me feel like i was falling backwards - I tried to like them but my back said no. Also do NOT listen about some of the sizing advice - i wear an 8 in Saucony and the sizing thing said size up - no way - an 8 was perfect with plenty of room. Saucony is top toe tight at an 8 - these were not.

I need heel support and cushioning to prevent lower back pain. I probably needed the Bondi shoe but solid black or white is not attractive!! So, I went with the Clifton 9. I was pleasantly surprised at how light the shoes are. They are made well and cushioned. The reason for the 4 stars is the insoles are just basic without any extra cushioning. I replaced them with a cushioned insole from another brand sneaker that I was wearing. Now I can be on my feet 12 hrs a day with minimal to no back pain. Do my new shoes make me run faster? We may never know, but I am able to power walk and feel a little bit of a bounce propelling me forward, so maybe ; ) I normally wear 7.5 or 8 in other brands (7.5 dress shoe). Size 8 fits well.
