Five stars for good looks. This shoe did not work for my feet, there is not enough cushion in the forefoot area for me. It is good for some of you. But every foot and the way, and where you hit the ground is different. Walking on the treadmill made the front bottom of my feet hurt within the hour. There is just not enough cushion there for me. I need stability, cushion, high arch support and probation stability. These did not work for me. Thank you for your excellent return policy. My search continues. I want to love this brand. I purchased The Bondi SR (Slip Resistant) seems good so far as comfort. Sturdier construction, not all mesh, for work. I would not walk or run in the Bondi SR. The Bondi SR bottom layer treads are made specifically for industrial use. The pattern of the rubber is approved by my workplace. Thank you fir you return happy feet policy.

Ordered a 10.5, half size up after reading reviews. They are too long. Also I think I need the stability shoe since I'm a walker, not a runner. Will return and reorder.

This is my second pair of HOKAs, and I was worried that a different style might not be as comfortable as the pair I already owned (Bondi 7). I am so happy that I went ahead with my purchase as these are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They provide the perfect amount of cushion which is extremely important for me as I am flat-footed and need extra support in my shoes. Overall, I would gladly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a comfortable, stable shoe.

These are my first Clifton 9s. They fit great and are helping my Achilles tendinitis hugely!

I bought the Clifton shoe. There was absolutely nothing light and plush bought them. I've been buying Hoka for years. This was the worse. I came back from walking my dogs and had to kick off my shoes, my feet hurt so badly.

I have been wearing Brooks Glycerine for years and my husband made the switch over to Hoka last year and kept telling me I should give them a try. So, I did and I'm so glad I did! I got the Clifton 9 and they are so comfortable & roomy (in a good way)! My only 'complaint' is the color I got was a very bright blue and it looked more navy online which I would have loved, but that's pretty minor!

I purchased my Clifton 9 shoes using the size for my Clifton 8 shoes. I decided to go to Fleet Feet and have my feet measured to determine my size. My size for Clifton 9 is 10.5 not 10. So, make sure you get sized before you make a purchase.

Things are going well. It is taking less time to break in then the cloud 8. I purchased a light colored shoe this time. It's pretty but does show dirt obviously more then darker ones. This shoe does well going over stable ground. Kinda unsupported going over rough terrain

Something has changed with Hoka's, fit is not the same. I've had at least 5 pairs of Bondi's 7,8 my last pair didn't fit correctly on my right foot. Contacted customer service who said the Clifton is better for high arches...nope, still hits on my arch wrong sending them back too. I'm so bummed, Hoka's were the best shoes I've every worn until now. I've recommended them countless times...can't anymore. I guess the success of Hoka's has impacted the quality...too bad.

The shoe is lightweight and stylish, but the width is not quite true to size for a wide foot.

The thick cushioned sole is perfect for my 64 year old flat feet. I ordered them half a size larger for toe room. My mistake. I read somewhere on your site that they ran small. That was misleading. They are also too wide for my true size 9 women's. My husband and I were looking for running and walking shoes for both of us. He loves his. Our son gifted those.

The toe box is too narrow now. Clifton 8 was my favorite shoe. The Clifton 9 is Not an improvement.

I LOVE my Clifton 8s so was really excited to order a pair of 9s -- what the heck happened?? Longer in front and significantly more narrow (I ordered wide) -- Hopefully dear Hoka you will come to your senses and rethink the design and go back to the C8 version -- the BEST! -- I have many pairs of Hokas (Bondi, Arahi, Gaviota, Clifton) -- the Clifton 9 is my first disappointment.

All the hype with these shoes, I thought they would be more comfortable. I'm in the health field and am on my feet all day. At the end of the day I'm ready for them to come off. Disappointed, wanted them to be much more comfortable for the price.

I was pleasantly surprised how much my feet didn't hurt after a whole day working. I'm 70 years old. I work as a hairstylist. I stand on my feet all day. I've been spending a fortune on shoes and usually disappointed. My new Hoka's worked wonders so far

I have had 17 surgeries, to include 5 on my ankle and 1 on my back. These are the first pair of shoes that I can walk for distance without any pain. I have been wearing them for almost 3 weeks now. I will be 60 soon and am currently walking 4 miles in 65 minutes! Needless to say, I'm already looking at my next pair.

I was very hesitate on buying bc I'm on a very fixed income, but I had spoke with a few people on these sneakers to get personal reviews. I can honestly say they are excellent! My feet don't hurt, my back doesn't bother me as much. I feel my posture is better when I walk. Definitely worth the price! Very comfortable, can feel the stability. Definitely recommend to others

I work in retail so I stand and walk for long period of times but next time I buy another pair I will get wide. For me they're just a bit narrow in the front for walking the hours that I do at work.

Quality of shoe is not like the Clifton 8. I had two pairs and didn't need to worry about cleaning them for a whole year!! And with the Clifton 9 after a few weeks I had to start figuring out how to clean them. They get dirty so quickly, fabric seems cheaper. Very disappointed, I was a big fan of Clifton 8!!!
