Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I am 62 and walk 30-40 minutes every day. I have fraying in my hip labrum. These shoes have helped. There is no harsh impact while walking anymore. I love these. Definitely will get more.

I purchased this shoe when I wore out my previous running shoes because I had heard good things about them. I love the way they look and they're super comfortable however after the first month, pieces of the bottom started to peel off and flap around when I'd walk. I ended up having to cut off chunks of the shoe which was really disappointing. I thought I was alone on this until my friend said it started happening to her too. Definitely an issue that could use resolving, especially for the price of the shoe!

I will never understand why companies change their most successful products so much over time, that they become something completely different. I started wearing Hoka's back when barely anyone knew the name. The nursing community devoured these sneakers and I would venture to say we gave the company the equivalent of millions of dollars of free advertising. I currently have 13 pairs...starting with the Clifton 6. I walk 3-5 miles several times a week. Some of my favorite Cliftons-the 6 and 7's, are still in pristine condition. I started seeing a difference with the new purchases about 2 yrs ago. Something was just off and at first I couldn't place my finger on it. Today, it hit me. The Clifton 6 and 7's were perfect. Light. Thin. Airy...so airy that on windy cold days, I could actually feel the wind blowing through the top of the sneaker onto my feet. They had these tiny rubber like lines on the toes that were amazing because instead of dirt getting on the material in the toe area...you could just wipe it off the rubber and they stayed clean looking for a long time. Little by little, the material on the newer Cliftons became thicker. Tighter around the feet. My feet feel suffocated in them...hot and sweaty after long walks. The last three pairs I purchased started getting the smelly foot smell. I have never in my life had this problem. In fact...I have Hoka's that are 5 years old that I STILL wear that have never started to smell. Then, the pair I bought last year gave me a blister on the side of my foot under the big toe. Despite all of this I convinced myself these were flukes. I purchased ANOTHER pair two weeks ago. After a 3 mile walk my feet felt hot, stifled, and a small blister formed on the opposite foot in the same spot. Sadly, this is me breaking up with you Hoka. Reading the other reviews..It's not us. It's you. I doubt it will make a difference, once a company gets too big they start cutting corners and ignoring their old faithfuls.

I love this shoe, had to buy this because my dog ate the last pair, but your one hiking shoe I've only wore once it was horrible, but I'll always buy your other shoes. I have 4 pairs and wore out 2 pairs

This is my second pair. Love this shoe. I walk 4-5 miles a day on the farm. Great support. Light weight so my legs are fatigued at the end of the day.

I was asked by my podiatrist to try these shoes. The moment I put them on, I was hooked. I love the way they feel, the support and the bounce to your step they give. I love these shoes and will be purchasing more in the near future.

I love the feel of these shoes but mine started to fall apart after only three months. Parts of the sole came off because the glue loosened. I tried contacting Hoka but never got a reply. Super sad because I love these shoes but definitely won't buy again if they can't hold up for long because I don't have that kind of money to keep buying new ones. :(

I work as a housekeeper at a hospital I'm on my feet for the better part of the day my feet nolonger hurt these are the best sneakers I've ever had.

My package was delivered to the wrong address. I used my apple pay and was unaware that the address I would add to my Hoka shipment would automatically be changed when I paid via Apple Pay. I called customer service to see if they can get my package and the woman on the phone was not at all helpful. In fact, she was dismissive and said she couldn't do anything about it. I had to drive over to the other address and knock on someone's door to get my package. I was so upset that I was left to fend for myself. There was absolutely no remorse. I also told her Hoka should add verbiage to say that the address will be changed if your apple pay address is different. She basically said that is Apple Pays problem not Hoka. I will never recommend Hoka to anyone. So frustrating.

I love these shoes. They feel like you're walking on clouds or marshmallows. One of my best purchases ever!

I use my hokas for everyday wear ;they are comfortable and supportive. This is the 2nd pair I've purchased; my first pair was getting worn and I really liked them.

These are my third or fourth pair of Clifton 9's. I love them so much. I work on concrete floors all day and my feet don't hurt in these.

I don't like switching shoes daily for walking so I bought these to wear every single day on asphalt and concrete. So far they've been awesome. I own ten pairs of Hoka shoes and none have disappointed me. I tell people all the time just try one pair and you'll be hooked. Your feet are worth it!

BEST investment I've ever made and am obsessed with how comfortable they are running/walking. I've already purchased another pair (different ones) and cannot wait to get more.

Ever since retiring, my arches are falling and I'm having terrible heel and foot pain. These shoes helped to relieve a lot of pain. Love these shoes. Great support

These are great for standing all day and being active. This color is so cute, I'm going to get a darker pair for when I'm working out!

I have been wearing the Clifton for many years. With the 9 model I find the toe box very wide. I buy for the cushion and rocker-type sole. I much prefer the older model (I still have the 7). The 9 doesn't seem to last as long either. I may change shoe after this and/or return.

Had less than 4 mos. Most comfortable shoes I've had for nursing ever! BUT, the soles started peeling back 1 mo after I bought them. I should send back for warranty but I don't want to live without them. Now the rubber part that wraps up onto the toe is peeling too. SUPER DISAPPOINTING.

I searched good walking shoes for my trip to Japan. Hokas was in many of the search finds. I'm glad I was able to try them and see if I liked them. First got a regular size since that's what was recommended but I didn't like the fit so I returned for a wide size. I got the Clifton and ended up get the bondi style. I used both for my trip to Japan alternated both pairs for our 7 day trip. The Clifton's were much more comfortable. I use them for treadmill and outdoor runs and love them. I wasn't much a shoe wearer for anything but the gym but I do like using them for long travel in car rides or being out for long hours.

Was very hesitant but excited to buy as I religiously wear one pair. First few runs were different but it seemed as my body and mind adapted. For some reason, my strides are now longer and my cadence is lower, but continually testing them out. Easy to run in, comfortable, and look good on the feet. Anyone who is hesitant, I would definitely recommend!

These run very small and short . As in if you wear socks you need to size up. The laces were too short as well. Overall very disappointed

I walk 4 miles on a paved park path every day. They have good support and are nicely padded.

Great shoe! Very comfortable for every day use.

Absolutely love these sneakers I'm going to buy them in every color! So comfortable!
