Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Don't buy these shoes. I will never buy another pair of Hokas again!!I I bought these shoes in September 2024 by December. The souls were starting to click and peel off. I reached out to the company jumped through all the hoops of the warranty and sent the shoes back and they returned them to me saying they were out of warranty when I contacted the company they were saying it is normal wear and tear. I'm sorry but soul is coming off of shoes is not normal. Wear and tear after four months, if it is a high-quality shoe and as much as you pay for these, they should be high-quality. Totally done with hocus they have lost a good customer.

Most comfortable for my sore feet

I like the cushioning and the wide toe box. Hoka was recommended by my doctor after foot surgery and they are helping my recovery.

My wife says it's like walking on air.

This shoe was worn 2 times a week in a clean environment. The glue failed on the bottom of the shoe, holding the bottom pads on. The company failed to do anything to resolve the issue. They claimed normal wear and tear, but they did not test the glue, fix them, or give reasoning for the declination of repair. We purchased 2 pairs, and the other was worn 3-4 days a week and didn't fail. Do not buy from them, they do back up their craftsmanship.

I bought the Clifton 9 almost 2 yrs ago. They had to be replaced twice due to the soles splitting and falling apart after 3-4 months. I work in a hospital and only walk on flat surfaces. I sit alot of the time. There should be no reason why the tread wears like that. I am now returning the THIRD pair due to the same issue after 3 1/2 months. The tread came unglued and they will 'evaluate' to see if I can get a replacement. They would NOT refund my money. Never again!!!

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.
