Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

These are well made, comfortable shoes. I injured my back two years ago and it tires easily. I am able to stand straighter because of the inner construction of the shoe. Which means Ican walk longer with less pain. Thank you.

I am really enjoying my Hokas. I am new to the brand and they were recommended to me as l walk 4 /5 miles daily. Immediately l loved the soft cushioning and the support. These are not going back !

Great fitting comfortable shoe. Feet don't feel tired at the end of the day.

I know that is a very bold statement "These changes my life". I am obese, have diabetes, plantar fasciitis in my right foot only, lower back pain, and arthritis in both knees. I do not run, heck I don't even walk for exercise. I researched these shoes for over a year with friends, co-workers, and complete strangers, before FINALLY going to a store to try them myself. I went in with pain, I had been out for hours shipping and running around. I put them on and still sat waiting, because I was afraid to stand up and be disappointed. When I got up, I had NO plantar fasciitis pain, knee pain, lower back pain AT ALL. I stood up without teetering because somethinging hurt or I had to get myself balanced before waking. I walked around the store for 20+ minutes, no pain. For me standing or walking without pushing a cart, I'd be hurting. I almost cried. I put my foot up on a foot up on a stool to tie the shoes better, I WAS BALANCED, I felt balanced, on ONE foot without holding onto anything or anyone. That was shocking. That's when I understood, why I didn't hurt. My body was better aligned, making me more stable, feeling more stable, which I believe has helped me with my pains. I'm not a doctor or in any kind of medical field. I just know how I feel, now. I wear these around the house, I don't like wearing shoes inside, but these make my day so much better. The pains come back immediately when I'm barefoot or even wearing my memory foam slippers. I mean it when I say, these changed my life. I purchased the white and the black with rose gold. I was only going to get ONE pair of shoes. But, I wasn't leaving without my basic colors. Now I'm looking for FUN colors, I'm thrilled to have the ability to walk further, WANT to get out more, and hopefully get back into walking to loose this weight. This can be a difficult decision financially, but these are absolutely worth it. I wish I hadn't waited so long.

I love Hokas and loved the look of these (I got the vanilla / astral in 8.5 Wide). I'm happy they had a great looking color combo in wide, a lot of times it's just the basic black or white. As much as I wanted to love these though, the second I put them on I could immediately feel my feet tilting inward. I don't naturally pronate, so this was super uncomfortable and made my stride feel very different when running and not in a good way. There was just no arch support on the inner side and the shape pushed you inward. I'm shocked more people don't call this out!

I had been wearing Brooks for many years and decided to switch it up and try Hoka. I took the shoe finder quiz and came up with a few options so I decided to go to a local store to try some on. I decided the Clifton 9 felt the best and came home and ordered them. They feel great to stand in, but that's about it. I've walked about 10 miles in these to really give them a try and I have to alter my stride to make them not hurt my feet. And now my feet and knees are killing me! There's weird pressure on the outer edge. I have a bad back and always look for good supportive shoes, but this wasn't it.

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 was excited about my first Hoka shoes purchase but unfortunately, after trying the shoes I had to return them. It felt like the heel was set down instead if being elevated for extra support, also I felt that the feet were turn down inward while having the shoes. I did not like it and hopefully at some point in time will give a try to another Hoka model.

Comfortable for walking all day.

I have to agree with the comment if it isn't broke, don't fix it. I loved my Clifton 8s and should have returned the 9s but I kept hoping I would break them in. It has been months, and I can't get use to the Clifton 9s. I would like some advice on what shoe would be similar to the Clifton 8. I love Hokas...just not the update to the Clifton.

I recently purchased the Clifton 9s and they are the best ever! These are my first pair of Hokas and I am definitely getting more. As a teacher, I am constantly on my feet and walking around. These shoes have been the most comfortable shoes I've worn to teach in. Now I want to wear them everywhere! I'll definitely be getting more!

This is my first time to bought this HOKA product and i like it!very comfy and nice design..but in delivery it delayed.

I've had plantar fasciitis surgery on one foot and was about to give up and have it on the other foot, then I found Hoka. I tried on several other brands that had been suggested for my plantar, but when she gave me the Hoka, that was it. I was almost immediately pain free. After my first pair and being on my feet on concrete floors 12 hours a day and pain free. I ordered another pair. I will never buy anything else. I do wish they would make replacement insoles for the Hoka shoes.

I worse it for work and by end of the day lateral side of my left feet is throbbing and killing me. It's so painful. I love hokas but this was an awful experience.

They are one of the most comfortable sneakers I have for the hospital. As a ED nurse who stands all daylong these provide my feet with some kind of relief that I've never felt before. Highly recommend!

Bought these for my wife. She absolutely loves the color (black and rose gold) and even more the comfortable insole.

I have walked almost 40 miles this week and they are holding strong. I bought them before my trip to key west and well worth it. It's a vacation for my feet. Breathable, easy to wipe off, nice toe areas, highly recommend.

They are too big.

Second pair of the Clinton style. Bright pink & black is my fashion statement So wonderful to step into a fresh pair with great comfort & a bigger bounce in my step. A wonderful feeling of stability in each step. Love Love and look forward to great walking.

These are the very best sneakers! Comfortable from the first lace up.

I have 2 other pairs of Clifton 9 and love them. Only difference in what I ordered was this is a different color. But I find the fit is different too. Not as comfortable and rums on the ball of my foot. Still has the same Hoka cushion. Will keep them for short walks. But not useful for longer ones like my others are.
