Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I had bought the Bondi and LOVED them. These were so uncomfortable though nothing like the Bondi. They are awful.

Bought this for my wife's birthday. She couldn't be happier.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I bought two pairs within two weeks so I could be sure they did not sell out or go away. I have told all my family and close friends to buy a pair. They are like clouds on my feet.

I have been running for 25 years in various brands (mostly Brooks) until I decided to try on Clifton 7 - it was instant love. Clifton 7 and 8 had plush cushioning. I could feel a definite difference in Clifton 9 which seem more responsive and well cushioned, though not as plush. I had to break these in to adjust to running in them, but after 3 runs, I do love them and prefer them for the responsiveness. The fit is perfect with no issues and the pink color is such fun to run in. I also wear Bondi for long walks and my retired Cliftons for anytime. Thank you, Hoka, for such extraordinary shoes and finally adding those gorgeous pink/purple family colors!!

Hands down these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I have some painful foot problems that makes buying shoes difficult because some shoes exacerbate my foot pain. I can wear these to walk a couple of miles, run errands & stand most of the day & my feet still feel great. My podiatrist also said they are the best for my foot issues. I've bought three different colors already & am about to buy my 4th pair. I absolutely love them!

When trying in the shoes in store, I was hooked. They were super comfortable and great for my line of work. Decided to order online with HOKA rather than in the store due to limited color choices. HOKA's website had the color I wanted. I ordered the correct size and was super excited to get them, but when I received them the size was incorrect. I called customer service and they stated they were out of stock in my size, so they decided to send me another size. I'm not sure why they would send a bigger size instead of a call, text or email stating they were out of stock before sending something I could not use. Sent back for refund and found out the style and color I needed has no back order date. Ugh.

I have 9 pairs of HOKA and all are comfy, but not this. After an hour of using them, the side of my feet started to hurt. I don't think I can return them anymore coz I used them. Kinda sad bc I really like the color but it hurts. If you have really narrow feet, i think it'll be ok.

I walk at least 2 miles a day at 74 years of age . I could not do that without Hoka. All other brands hurt my left foot big toe.

Love them all

I have a prosthetic on my right side ( blk) they work well for me!

I work in healthcare and walk 10k steps or plus a day. I am always hesitant to try a new shoe brand once I find one I love but WOW I absolutely love Hokas. So comfortable and my feet never hurt when I get off shift. Would recommend to any healthcare worker looking for a good shoe that will last.

Really miss the Clifton 8.

We have over 20 pairs of Hoka's, and have bought them for family members as well. Rincon have been my favorite. I wanted to try the Clifton for the extra cushion. I just was not a fan of the show when it arrived, returned it, and opted for the RIncon again. My husband has Rincon and Bondi and said comfort wise the Rincon are his favorite. The Transport is really comfortable however when walking for several hours for events my back was not great.

Great comfortable shoe.

Highly recommended love the all black color shoes help with recovery process after surgery

The shoe fit is very different than clifton 8. I went outside for a walk and within 15 mins the shoe was hot and it was not a pleasant walk thereafter. I wish Hoka would bring back the clifton 8.

I am 54 years old and have been running for 20 plus years. Recently been feeling stress on the ligament in my ankle. Well as soon as I tried the Clifton 9, that issue disappeared, right from the first run. The cushion is great to protect your joints and ligaments. I absolutely love this sneaker. I have been wearing Asics for 20 years. Now, not going back! Hoka all the way!!!!

I love my Hokas. They are so incredibly comfortable. They are like walking on a cloud because they provide so much support. The only problem I have is that my right shoe started squeaking after the 3rd wear. I can't seem to figure out how to stop the squeaking. I haven't gotten them wet, so i know it's not from moisture. Other than the annoying squeaking I love them.

I try these shoes for almost the month. After so many recommendations from coworkers, I decided to take the big plunge and buy my first hoka pair. I got the Clifton 9 based on the specs. When I got them, I loved the style and colors, black and rose gold, but when I put them on, I noticed that my heels sunk. I was "ok, maybe this is how hoka corrects posture and gait" but after a full work day, my heels hurt, like they hurt, hurt, but I was determined to love them and I was told Hokas are the best of the best and the cost should prove it. So after 20 days my heels continued hurting and when I talked to my coworkers they didn't have that problem when their Hokas but nobody had this particular style. So I decided to exchange them. I'm waiting for the Gaviota 5 to arrive within the next few days but to be honest, I'm concerned as other owners dislike that style too. . Hopefully I get a good surprise when they arrive.

I use these shoes everyday for all activities
