Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I have plantar fasciitis and my friend turned me on to the Hoka brand. I first bought the Ahari 6 and they were fantastic. I bought the Bonid 8 and they were great for about 3 months but then my feet started to hurt so bad due to the PF. Hoka has great customer service and gave me credit. I then bought the Clifton 9 and so far so good.

These are the most comfortable, well fitting shoes I have ever purchased! No breaking in needed. These shoes feel like walking on a cloud!

I felt the difference immediately. They help you walk correctly and they are so comfortable. I'm on my feet all day long and my feet would get so sore when I would get up from bed the next day. Not with these shoes. I noticed a difference from day one.

I was having achilles pain with my previous walking shoes. Now I have no pain, and love walking every morning!

I'm a long-time wearer of Bondi 8s and I love them. I have a lot of aches and pains in my feet, preventing me from wearing "regular" (cheaper) shoes and these have been a dream. I decided to try the Clifton 9s because I wanted a pair that was more neutral and stylish for travel. I'm so glad I bought them as I've just returned from a trip and they kept my feet going for a week. The Bondi 8s are more cushy in the heel, but I had no problems with the Clifton 9s walking miles every day. I don't know which style I'll get when these are worn out because I love both. I bought the Sand/Eggnog color for versatility. I recommended them to a friend on vacation. I will be a HOKA customer for life.

These shoes look and feel great. They are very lightweight and comfortable for walking and doing my cardio exercises.

Great comfort and style! Can't say enough about these shoes

I personally am on my feet a lot during the day and really enjoy going for long walks/ hikes as well. These shoes are so light and comfortable and cute! The Clifton shoe is by far my favorite Hoka that I have tried!

The Clifton 9s are incredibly comfortable and supportive for both walking and running. Deducting one star because they're not very comfortable to stand in for long periods of time - wore them to a concert and had quite a bit of foot pain.

I have trouble wearing them. I have a balance problem and your website implied your shoes would help with that. So far, it has felt awkward to walk in them. I hope I can adjust to them because the craftmanship, comfort and style are fantastic.

I run approx 3.5 miles 3 times a week. These are fantastic, cushiony and comfy. Only drawback is that for me they wear out quickly. I need new ones about every 4 months

I love all of my HOKA shoes, but the Rincons are perfect for the summer! They allow my feet to breathe and not get too hot!

Great pair of shoes! These were my first pair of "running shoes". They've helped me so much with being able to run distance there's so much cushion. Ive found if you wear them on a treadmill incline walking isn't the most comfortable. Also for all the aesthetic girlies..the color eggshell is so cute!

I finally purchased a pair of HOKAs after wearing Brooks for years. I wanted to experience the cushioning and responsiveness advertised in the Clifton 9. These shoes we're comfortable when I put them on which was a good sign and I have an average foot width so they did not feel snug. When I tried purchasing HOKAs in the same size several years ago I found them to be far too wide but they seem to have changed something. The shoe is also less bulky now and I was pleased with the fit however I do find them a little stiff and not as responsive as I had hoped. I am used to having a better "feel" for the road and these shoes do not feel flexible. I have run in them several times now and think that breaking them in more will help so I will be keeping them because overall I like the fit and would like to give them a good chance to limber up a bit. Btw if you wear a size 7 in Brooks, 6.5 in HOKAs is perfect and the size finder is extremely accurate! Well constructed, I like the breathable upper and feel these are a quality, light weight shoe. My only problem is how stiff the arch cushioning is.

I have a summer job where I am on my feet on asphalt all day, sometimes 19 hours, so shoes are the most important part of my uniform. I'm 61 so finding comfy shoes that don't make my feet hot and sweaty has been a challenge. I only wore them for one show so far and I am pleasantly surprised that I was able to get up the next morning with very little pain. So I guess I'm happy with them!

I am so disappointed in Hoka so far and I wanted to love the brand. So far I've tried three models and cannot find a good fit for work shoes. These Cliftons squeeze my foot and feel like something is jabbing in to my arch. I had to take them off after four hours in to my work day ( I'm a hairdresser)

The women's Clifton 9 new design is too high at the ankles and rubs the bottom of my ankles making it VERY uncomfortable. I will have to return them. I love the Clifton 8 and have like 6 pairs. I'm very disappointed that I will not be able to buy the Clifton 9 due to the higher ankle cut. :-(

I've walked all day in these shoes with no knee, hip, or any other discomfort, so I'm a fan! I bought my usual size, 8 but had to exchange for a 7.5 and they're perfect. LOVE these!

This is my third pair and I really like how light they are on my feet. Perfect for tread running and walking.

Love the fit overall. I went by recommendations and went up a half size and I don't think that was necessary, extremely roomy in toe area.

I'm 61 and needed a good shoe for fast walking. The shoe is light and fits like a glove.

The Clifton 9, toe box too pointy. Scrunches my toes. Liked the Clifton 7, fit the best. The 8 was ok but the overall shoe is wider. Fit of the 9 totally changed. Still like the cushion. The Clifton 9, feel to big where the front part of the foot is, but too scrunched and tight in the toe, pointy. Still love Hoka's but wish the design wouldn't change every year. I have bought Hoka's for years. Have owned Stitson, Challenger, Clifton 5,6, 7, 8, and now 9. Sky Toa.

I have very flat feet & I walk over 10,000 steps a day. I have had a lot of problems & pain with my feet & ankles. I had 3D custom orthodics made. I love that I can easily pull out the insoles on Hokas, to wear my orthodics (if needed). When I got this style, the insoles felt so good that I decided to try wearing them without my orthodics. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get through a whole day of walking & not be in tremendous pain when I got home. Absolutely love these Hokas!
