I've been in these since late September. I enjoyed the feel of the shoe and trained and did a half in them. It's a great shoe except for the outer mesh. I can't get the clean. It's like they collect debris and grime between the layers. I've been in Hoka's since the first Clifton. I've not had this trouble before.

Good recovery, maintenance run shoe. Not great for picking up the pace, but great for soft easy long runs.

The shoe has a very high arch. It is so high that it was painful to wear even when not walking. I am very disappointed.

Hoka seems, for my feet, to run a full size bigger. This color really appealed to me and we’re very comfy like my old Bondi 7 which they don’t make anymore

I've planter fasciitis in both feet, so these are for everyday use for me. They're super comfortable to a point that I don't need extra insoles, and they're breathable which is great for the climate I live in. Unfortunately, the soles seem to be poorly made. I ordered a pair back in October '23. Not even a full month passed before the tread on the soles started to peel off. On both shoes. Customer service was great in helping me get a new pair not too long after. Problem is, the treads are peeling off on both shoes again. Admittedly, they're lasting longer than a month, but given how much they are, I expect them to last at least a year. I don't make a lot and have to save for a while to be able to afford shoes that allow me to stand without pain. I'm not going to try and replace them again as I don't expect anything different. But, I'm going to try and keep repairing them for as long as I can.

What happened HOKA?! I have been wearing Cliftons since IDK their fifth iteration? I always order the same size: 7.5W. I was up for a fresh pair and ordered the same size without any hesitation, but when they arrived at my doorstop and I put them on I was so surprised at the complete change in fit?! I know everyone's foot is different and the comfort thing is subjective, but these are objectively bigger than previous Cliftons. I put the new Clifton 9s up against my old 8s and they looked like clown shoes LOL which also explains why I couldn't take even more than a couple steps without my heels sliding out.... I even took my old Clifton 8s in a 7.5W to the HOKA store near me to compare them to the new Clifton 9s in a 7W and they were almost 1-1; all that is to say, is that if you are planning on re-ordering your tried and true you will absolutely need to SIZE DOWN. Obviously I still love my Cliftons and now that I've exchanged for the smaller 7W (that is actually a true 7.5W if you're measuring against the Clifton 8) I recommend them, but the sizing change is quite annoying (apparently I am not the only one to notice haha the store associate let me know that this has been a common theme with this version....) and makes me nervous for future versions/changes.

This is my first pair of Hokas. My podiatrist suggested them for me a couple of years ago. I have been wearing Brooks Glycerin for several years and thought I would try Hokas for a change. They feel great and there is a "bounce" in my step that I didn't have w/ the Brooks. Also like the wide variety of colors available.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks

I really wanted this shoe. I love rainbows, but it was too narrow. There really should be a wide option for all your shoes.

I find these to be the most comfortable of the Hokas and they come in wide, which is very important to me and a lot of people

These Clifton 9's are absolutely killing my feet. I'm not sure why because I have several other pair and they don't hurt my feet at all.
