Not for me. I tried these instead of the Bondi 8. Felt like they were a little narrow for me so I switched back.

The Hoka Clifton is always my style of choice. I’m not sure what happened with this particular pair as they’re extremely uncomfortable and cause my feet to hurt. I’ll be returning this pair but I will still remain a fan of the Clifton.

This shoe feels so different from the Clifton 8. For some reason, it literally made my feet ache after wearing them around the house for 30 minutes. I couldn’t detect any fit issue, but they just didn’t feel springy or like they were providing any support. I wish Hoka had not redesigned this shoe. Now I don’t know what can replace my worn-out 8’s.

This pair of shoes were a little tight, and the shoelaces were below standards -- kept coming untied

These were supposed to replace the Bondi show I’ve worn for years. Bondi changed and don’t fit right. These have less cushioning than I need and don’t feel supportive.

The shoes are comfortable but are being returned because of the large, thick tab on the back of the them. That hit the back of the steps as I was walking down them which is both annoying and a safety issue.

I have 5 pairs of Clifton 7 & 8 that fit perfectly and I love in my usual size 10. Ordered 2 new Clifton 9 same size & they're much different fit- significantly bigger, even so much that they slip of while walking. Unfortunately, I waited & held out before wearing my new ones, as my old ones were still good. Assuming the new ones fit the same, I waited too long to try them on,so I've missed the return window & stuck with 2 pairs that I can't wear & out over $300, sadly.
I must add that the 7& 8 are the most comfortable shoes to work in (in the healthcare field) that I've found in 30 years. I have high arches and a bunion that makes it hard to find comfortable shoes.

I love Hokas and have had many pairs. Since I couldn't find the Clifton 8 anymore, I chose this Clifton 9. But, I didn't like it at all. The upper was too long and rubbed against the top of my ankle. I had to return it and I will try another style.

I purchased these in August 2023 and wore them a couple times a week to work. When December came around, the traction pieces on the bottom started to come off leaving the shoes uneven between my two feet. Now about half of the sole has come off (Jan 2024). I thought they were comfortable and enjoyed wearing them until they started falling apart after 4 months. I am relatively disappointed in the quality, especially since I paid about $150 for them

This shoe does not make me feel feminine in any way! They are wide and kinda clumpy. I do not like the wings on back of shoe either.

The shoe is comfortable but not supportive on the heel so it strains my ankles. I feel my heels sink in the shoe and puts pressure on my ankles.

Not nearly as comfortable as my last two pairs of cliftons. These have almost no cushion. The 7's and 8's both fit perfectly right out of the box. These were like knock offs. I have plantar fasciitis and work 12 hr shifts. These will not work. Too late to return them.

I ordered my shoes off the website and received my Hoka's on April 22, 2023 and this last week a part of my sole is already coming apart! These are expensive shoes that are supposed to be durable well made and comfortable.
I can tell you that they are comfortable but the quality is in question. They definitely should last longer than 2 months! The flap of the sple coming apart gets caught in carpet at work.
I sent an emal a week ago with NO RESPONSE . I currently plan on spread the word of poor qualityand customer responsivness.
I am requesting either a refund or replacement of my shoes.

I probably won't buy this shoe again. It is frustrating when there is a version that is just perfect and the next version is very different and is not what was expected. I bought the Clifton 8 and it was like walking on a cloud. Like it so well I decided to purchase another pair - the version 8 was no longer available so I assumed the version 9 would just be as good - maybe just different colors. Not the case. The 9 is far from the comfort level I had with the 8.

The Clifton 9 I thought was my great find until after two weeks of wearing them. They gave me the cushion I needed, but for som reason the heel support wasn't right and as the two weeks wore on my heels began feeling 'bruised'.
I appreciate that Hoka provides a 30 day guarantee. I got my money back. Thank you!

I am on my feet all day, this shoe was a big disappointment. Will probably be my last pair of Hoka I will purchase.

What is going on with Hokas? This season they are just terrible - not cushy feel, too narrow, etc. I have used Cliftons in the past and loved them. But the 9 was horribly uncomfortable. Returned them.

I've worn Hokas for years and love the fit. However, my last two pairs have been plagued by the tread peeling off the bottom. With this latest pair, it started within 2 months of purchase. Very disappointing.

I really liked these shoes at first — they were comfortable and felt great for workouts. I mostly used them in my indoor gym for weight training and some treadmill running. Unfortunately, despite very minimal use, the plastic on the bottom of the shoe wore off and literally came apart. Now, when I walk or run, loose rubber on the sole catches and makes me trip. I can’t safely wear them anymore, even though they’re practically new. I expected much better durability for the price and brand.

These shoes are comfortable but don’t last. Sole is falling apart after not a lot of use.

After 5 months the trend- bottom of the shoe is falling apart after very few wears. I do not even wear these everyday! This shoe is cheaply made. I will not purchase again! So disappointed!!!!

Great sneaker, amazing comfort and sadly very poor quality. The tred started pealing of after 4 months of wearing only on daily walks. Very disappointed!

Awful sneakers after 3 months, part of the rubber started peeling off. Wrote to Hoka, awful customer service they said it was normal wear and tear. 3 months after owning them and not wearing them daily???

I ordered these shoes on Mar 25th, and they arrived a few days later. By June 7th (less than 2.5 months later), the soles were falling off. See photo. I did nothing strange - just walking. I paid $115 for these shoes at the recommendation of a doctor. This is insane. Apparently, this is a common problem with these shoes. I will be pursuing a refund.
