Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Plantar fasciitis is much better!

I loved the feel of them when I put them on the first time. First pair of shoes that I didn't have to break in and are so comfy when walking.

Feels like I am walking on air

The rocker heal tilts my foot to the side and then my foot hurts, I've arranged an exchange for the Mach 6 which doesn't have the rocker heal. I should receive them in about 10 days. Looking forward to wearing them.

I have had 2 pairs of the Clifton 8's and loved them. The Clifton 9 is different. I definitely do not like how the back of the show comes up much farther on my ankle, and the cushioning is different. I am hoping that after they are broken in a little better that I will like them better

These shoes have changed my life. I used to get aches and pains in my heels after standing all day at work, after getting hokas I don't get the pain or a feeling of being uncomfortable in them!

I've been a huge HOKA advocate and fan for many years. I've purchased variations of Hoka Cliftons and Bondi's (but mostly Clifton), and began running about a year-and-a-half ago and felt like the Hoka Clifton's enabled me, who has never been a runner in my life, to run with no joint pain or foot pain. I attribute this to the heel-to-toe drop ratio, the cushioning of the shoe, and the rocker technology. Fast forward to this pair of Hoka Clifton 9's and I absolutely loved the color and thought "should be the same as all my other Hoka Cliftons" and fit the same, but no. The heel-to-toe drop ratio is different somehow, and I wore these in rotation with other Clifton 9's but soon found out that my achilles tendon does NOT like this pair of Hoka Clifton's. The only thing I can attribute this to is that the heel-to-toe drop feels different. I exchanged these and the new pair is arriving today, so I have high hopes that this was just a manufacturing defect in the ones I purchased, but I really hope that is the case, as I absolutely have loved Hoka and feel they are the best shoe out there. I gave these a 3-star rating due to the color and shoe style, and because I've had multiple Cliftons with no trouble, so I'm really hoping that this was just a manufacturing defect in this pair. I hope Hoka does some testing of the current manufacturing to ensure their standards are still being met.

Perfect shoe for everything. My feet are all over town, country, and the world. These Clifton 9 from HOKA go with me everywhere!

These Clifton 9's felt slightly shorter than the Cliftons that I purchased over a year ago. I measured the soles of the old and new ones, and these new Cliftons are a bit shorter, so I had to order up 1/2 size.

Since rotating between Hoka, Brooks, & ON for years I have settled with Hoka's permanently. I have bones missing in my feet & have broken both ankles, so these are the only type shoes I can wear. With prescription orthos I must wear them in any shoe. However, at 75 I still want some style! These are the most comfortable shoes I own. Finally they have provided a true navy to wear with jeans! My surgical nurse next door has said they are the nurses favorite. Wish you provided narrows.

I bought these for my wife who is an avid walker and she can't say enough great things about them. She has worn several name brands all these years and nothing seems to come close to these Hoka's. Diffinitely will being buying more.

These are my walking shoes and I love the fact that even first time on they feel like someone broke them in for me....Never have a "new" uncomfortable feeling!!

i wore these about everyday since Christmas!! after some time they began to hurt the soles of my feet. i now have to be cautious of what I'm doing for when I'm going to wear them!! but besides before that happened they were amazing!

Wow! These sneakers are the most comfortable I've ever owned. They allow me to walk long distances with ease, even with my health challenges. I'm considering donating my other sneakers and only wearing my HOKAS. I will get a pair for my husband and a second pair for myself. They are a good fit, comfortable, soft, fit to size, and overall, a great sneaker!

I am an ICU nurse taking 2-3 patients a day and am on my feet 11out of the 13 hours I am there majority of the days. These shoes have been such a good investment over the past three years. I have had two pairs and I recommended them to everybody.

When I tell you I love this shoe it's an understatement. It helps support my two hip replacements & bad knee joints.

These are seriously the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I'm a teacher and on my feet all day. These shoes are so great, that my feet never hurt. I even bought a 2nd pair!!!

I really like the Clifton 9. I bought this pair as a third pair to alternate with my other Hokas. The bright green color is fun. This style is cushy and very comfortable to wear all day and for long runs/walks. Buying direct from HOKA was simple, especially since I knew the size I needed.

These shoes are the best I've ever purchased

Got these for clinical and they are extremely comfortable. Customer service was awesome as I ordered the wrong color the ease of exchange was paramount

I love my black Clifton 9's and chose another pair in a different color. My black 9.5 Wide fits perfectly but the new pair had way too much excess fabric around the arch area. Tried a 9.5 - a hair too small. Reluctant to order another pair unless it's black.

I bought these for my wife as a surprise because I wanted her to have good, comfortable shoes on our upcoming cruise. I've been in Hoka shoes for a long time. She, however, is reluctant to leave her comfort zone. Well, she wanted to "break them in" and wore them to go school shopping with my daughter for my granddaughter. When she returned home several hours later, she announced that she didn't need to break them in, they were comfortable from the start, and her feet didn't hurt or feel tired at all. I think you have a new believer!

My facitis has completely disappeared! No more foot pain with these shoes!!

I wanted these to work so badly - but they were not the quality I hoped for. I loved them at first, but after 2ish months of wearing them the green grips on the soles started falling off. I was hoping I just got an unlucky pair and exchanged them due to a quality issue. Unfortunately, after about 3-4 months of wearing the new ones, the decals are falling off and there are holes forming in the fabric. I have never had shoes wear this fast, nevertheless two pairs in 5-6 months. I used them for everyday wear, such as going to school, and work. I wanted to love these, but the risk of them falling apart is not worth the price of these shoes :(
