Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I really wanted to love these shoes!! I wore them inside on a walking track, my lower back started hurting within minutes. I wore them once on a paved road in my neighborhoodsame issue. Everyone I know that has bought Hoka's has had a positive experience. I'm not sure what to do??? Continue to try and get use to them, or return. My center of gravity just feels off. I think the fit feels fine. Help???

I'm not sure what was changed between the Clifton 8 and the Clifton 9, but I'm not a fan. I have 2 artificial knees, and when I tried to wear my new Clifton 9's, I experienced lots of knee pain and discomfort throughout my days. I'm a 1st grade teacher and live on my feet; I cannot have my knees acting up! I tried them for 1 week and returned them. I'm back to using my old Clifton 8's (I own 2 pair, both of which are amazing!) until I can find a different shoe. I'm so disappointed.

I'm on my feet all day and it have been quite difficult to find good sneakers that would give me support throughout the day. I decided to try on HOKA and I was amazed !! Now I'm on my 4th pair .

These are by far the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. It feels like you're walking on marshmallows. I have neuroma in my right foot and it was a little painful to walk, but with these sneakers I have no pain at all.! I work at a hospital so I'm on my feet pretty much all day and they are super comfortable!

My friends bought the shoes: one bought them couple of months ago, and the another bought the shoes one month before I bought. I tried theirs shoes, they were very comfortable, so I ordered the same one same size for myself. However after I got my shoes, my shoes feels different. Not comfortable and soft. I made my friends tried my shoes, they feel the same way. I was wondering how can I return the shoes

Love my Clifton 9 shoes. Very comfortable

Love the Hokas I just purchased. Walked all over Italy with them. They arrived just in time!

I've had my Hoka Clifton's for one week and my feet feel great. Disappointed that the glued on reflective parts are already peeling off.

I wasn't sure about these but I'm so glad I gave them a go. So comfortable! I am having some new knee issues and these are helping me stay active.

My husband and I have decided to run a half marathon on The Big Island in March of 2024. We have run half marathons in the past but it's been a few years. We are in our 60s. I knew I needed a new pair of Hoka's since that's the only running shoe we wear. I got the Clifton 9s and they've been great. I love the support and comfort. I normally wear a 7 1/2 but always size up. Theses are a 9 and feel and fit great! Wish us luck!!

I LOVE these shoes! I was having foot pain and knee pain and a friend recommended them to me and they have helped my pain tremendously!

Highly recommend this well made shoe. Fit is perfect and so comfortable walking.

I walk anywhere from 15k-20k steps a day for my job. I have tendonitis in both of my feet which have caused me many issues. These shoes have helped out so much!

These are my third pair of Cifton's - my first two were 8's and I held off buying the 9's based on negative reviews. After a few long runs I have noticed nothing negative about the new model. Still my number one go-to shoe for long outdoor runs!

These shoes are awesome to run in, very comfortable and I haven't had any issues so far (had them for a month or so now). The only thing I can note is they are a bit bulky - but I am sure that's due to all the cushion and support they give.

These shoes are incredible. So comfortable. I feel like I'm walking on marshmallows, they are so amazing! The toe box is roomy and I'm able to wiggle my toes. I can't say enough good things about these shoes.

I am a runner and have tried the Bondi and the Clifton 6's so far. I feel like I am pretty hard on my shoes but this shoe feels like it absorbs the impact and I haven't gotten shin splits at all since wearing them which is something I have struggled with in the past. They feel bouncy and supportive but not too heavy. I love love love them. I do have wider feet and ended up exchanging for a wide which I don't usually have to do--but they are perfect now! Thank you to the team that made these.

At first the felt good but after being on my feet for hours on concrete, my feet my the end of my shift.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn and I will never wear anything other than these. My feet are in Heaven! I did go 1/2 size up when people told me they run big so I'm not sure I believe that. I'm usually an 8 and 8.5 is perfect!

I bought a 6.5 because I like extra toe room. The width on the toes seems very wide but this is not the wide size. Great colors and comfort. Of note I now receive daily emails from Hoka. Easy on the marketing guys.
