Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I was so excited to finally have a pair of shoes that did not flair my plantar fasciitis. They were comfortable, came quickly and I was fully prepared to order a second pair. Two months later, the tread started coming loose. I did the warranty claim and was denied due to "normal wear and tear". After only 2 months!!! For the cost, I would have expected more for my money. Sad to say I will be looking elsewhere from now on.

This is my third out of Cliftons, I wear them until they absolutely can't be worn anymore. My go to running shoes

I purchased this model online, but when it arrived, I found that there was too much wiggle room in the front part of the shoe, and the fit didn't feel quite right. I went to the store and exchanged them for another model (W Arahi 7), which feels like a better fit for the width of my feet.

I LOVE the Clifton 9. I just purchased my second and third pair after realizing that my original pair was no longer feeling as great as it used to, that is after having them for a couple of years. An orthopedic surgeon recommended HOKA's to me when I went to him with unbearable foot pain feeling like surgery of some sort might be necessary. I purchased a couple of pairs of HOKA's and some HOKA recovery shoes for around the house & in the yard. I have NOT looked back. After working on my feet as an RN doinh 12 hour shifts for over twenty-five years, my feet paid the tool. HOKA has made foot pain a thing of the past for me. I am able to walk a couple of miles every morning because of HOKA... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP the Clifton 9 in your design choices.

Literally the only shoes I wear 95% of the time. I have a pair for workouts, two pair for work and a pair for wandering around the house. Love these shoes and the color selection.

I have a pair of Hoka Bondi 8s that I bought 4 years ago that are starting to show their wear. So, Bean was having a sale but they were out of the Bondi 8 color and size I needed/wanted. I tried on the Clifton 9s and they fit well, not as cushy as the 8s but they are for a different training purpose anyway. I use them to cross train and run on the treadmill. They're comfortable and springy. But, I miss the Bondi 8s, they're more to my liking. However, this sneaker, the 9, is definitely a winner.

I bought these shoes around 6 months ago from a local store that sells Hokas and I don't put a lot of wear and tear on them I just wear them casually. Now the rubber part of the shoe on the bottom is falling off on both of the shoes. Very disappointing considering I have owned a few pairs of hokas and none of them have done this.

I wear these everyday to work and for my lunchtime walk. This brand was recommended to me by my podiatrist. This style helps by flat feet and I don't seem to have as much knee pain since I started wearing them. I have the Clifton 9 in four different colors. They are absolutely wonderful.

Bought these in August to help with recovery from a knee surgery I was having. Wore them a couple weeks before surgery then not again til 6 weeks after surgery and wore them several days a week while recovering yet hear it is only 4 months later and the bottom is peeling and now gets caught on things which I cannot risk falling after a delicate knee surgery. I'm really disappointed.

Great service from Hoka...always very satisfied with start to finish... and shoes always look great.. perfect fit!

My daily do everything shoe. I wear them at work, to walk my dog, errands, ... I've tried other Hoka styles, Clifton 9 suits me best.

These are the perfect shoes for me, and I've tried a few different Hoka styles. I've liked them all. But love the Clifton 9's. I am 5'9, 150, size 7.5 running shoes. Decent competitive runner (1/2 marathons and training), and these have been great for my feet/knees/hips. These are my 3rd pair, and I try and only use them for running but it is hard because they are so comfortable, straight out of the box.

I put off buying Hoka's for a long time. I wasnt used to spending the extra money on tennis shoes because I ruin them so quickly being active with my dogs. However, I was never satisfied with the fit and feel of other shoes. I decided to take the plunge during the recent sale and I can tell you, there is no looking back. The way the Clifton 9 shoe hugs my feet and cushions every step is unmatched. Even compared to the Gravity Defy brand which I use for the gym, Hoka out performs 100% I usually wear a 10 in shoes but I had to exchange for a half size down. The exchange was so quick and I received my new size within a few days of my return. The exchange was simple and took very little effort to complete.

I have always worn Clifton's for running. I have never had an issue with them. The pair I just bought hit right at my ankle bone. When running it hits and causes a bruised feeling. I'm hoping it is just a fluke pair, because Clifton's are my favorite running shoe.

I'm 67 and will only run in Cliftons. Year after year, they are the best.

I love walking in these shoes. Feels like you are walking in clouds. Makes me want to walk more. Less hip pain/joint pain. I sized down a half size. I possibly could do an 8 which would be a whole size. I may try the 8 next time. They have room on the width.

Love these and they match all of my workout clothes. Have gotten many compliments with the rose gold accents. I have plantar fasciitis and my doctor told me to work out in hokas and wear them all day. Seems to be helping! I usually wear a 7.5. I accidentally ordered 8's but they are working out fine!

Working in a hospital, I am on my feet a lot of the day. These shoes are so comfortable and truly feels like I'm walking on air.

The HOKA Cliftons have far exceeded my expectations. I can now comfortably take daily walks. I am very pleased with my HOKAs.

These are very comfortable and so when it was time to replace my existing Hokas, I bought the same shoe in a different color!

I don't know why my right foot doesn't fit properly. So I return it

Walking and at work

These are by far the most comfortable shoes I have purchased. I did size down half a size.
