I use it for everyday walking and when I go the gym. The sole provides great cushion and the arch support is very good. 10/10 there. The issue is the top half is designed for very wide feet. Would probably be great if you had bunions but it's so wide on the top half, that it's uncomfortable and slides around. I would have returned if I hadn't already wore them. I'll stick with my Brooks Ghost for future purchases.

These feel like they are a "negative heel". I tried them on and then compared them to my HOKA Bondi's. I like the Bondi's much better and will be returning these Cliftons.
Also, I received these today and they look like they've been worn already.

Love these tennis shoes. It's my first pair of Hoka tennis shoes and I'm impressed! Extremely comfortable, nice looking and good value.

Looked like the toe box was much wider, but when I put them on the shoes were very tight in the toe area. It’s a nice shoe, just didn’t fit my foot.

Best walking shoes, no breakin time needed. It did feel a little larger than my last pair, same size…

These shoes are cute and not too bulky, they were true to size, I typically wear a 7.5-8 and I chose the 8 knowing I’d wear fluffy socks on some days and they fit well with some wiggle room in the toes which for me is great for swelling because I stand on my feet all day as a hairstylist. When I first purchased these shoes I wasn’t sure about them, I felt like there wasn’t much support in the heel sort of felt like I was tilting backwards but as I’ve worn them they have formed to my feet and are very comfortable! Happy with the purchase.

I was TORN between the Bondi 8 and Clifton 9. I've owned two pairs of Bondi 8s (and a pair of Bondi 7s) before that and had no shin splints or joint pain until I had out about 300 miles on the shoes (at which point I knew it was time for another pair). I've recently started longer distances, upgrading from a half to full marathon. I bought the Clifton 9 instead of Bondi 8 because they were out of my size. Ran 18 miles in the Clifton 9s right off the bat and was noticeably faster and got no blisters. They feel much lighter on my feet and are super supportive. The soles of the shoe also don't rub one another when I'm running like the Bondi 8 (since they're so wide at the base). I have a pretty narrow foot and average arches and thought these were awesome. I'll be a Clifton 9 person forever now!

I purchased a pair of Clifton 9 shoes a month ago at a retail store. They were more comfortable than any other brand I've used yet! So I bought a second pair on the Hoka website. Again, perfect! I won't buy anything else from now on!!!

I was a lifelong runner, and for the past several years have struggled with hip pain (bursitis). After borrowing my daughter's Hoka's for a hike, I decided they might help, so I ordered a pair of Clifton 9's. My hip pain got worse when I started the semester of teaching (on my feet all day) - but after just a few days of wearing my Hoka's every day, THE PAIN IS GONE! I can sleep through the night and feel better than I've felt in years!

I have a lot of foot issues ( heal spur surgery, plantar fasciitis) and these are the best shoes that have not cause ANY pain! This is my second pair after a knee replacement and they fit on day one like I have been wearing them forever!

These are my 5th pair of the Clifton's. My hairdresser introduced me to them. She told me they are like walking on marshmallows and she was right! I order a half size larger than my normal size. I have no problems walking 6 miles a day in them, sometimes more. Please don't make any changes to them, love them the way they are.

This shoe is very comfortable. I wear it for my everyday wanderings so I am on my feet for several hours and my feet are not tired at the end of a busy day.

I love these shoes and wear them for walking. I have neuropathy in my feet. These shoes help with my balance. Very lightweight, comfortable and pretty color too!

Love the fit, very comfortable! Wear for running and walking 2-3/week. However the sole came apart less than a month of having them. Customer service seemed to care less!

This is my third pair of Hokas but first of this style. They are, by far, the most comfortable walking shoe I have ever worn. Nothing but Hokas for me from now on!

I was expecting 'the most comfortable shoe ever' for work, and it really wasn't. Also, the stitching on top appeared unfinished, making the shoes look a bit shabby. I returned them.

I walk 3 - 5 miles daily, I'm a college student, and also do some workouts on the side. The Hoka Clifton 9's are sooo comfy & overall feel amazing, but the soles started to fall apart within only 3 months. If they were more durable, I would probably buy them again, but for this reason, I'm going to find a replacement.

My podiatrist recommended Clifton 9 and I'm glad she did! This shoe has great support, plenty of room in the toe box, and lots of cushion.

I used to hate running because it was painful to do. Of course I was doing a lot of things wrong: no warm up, no cool down, and the wrong running shoes. After trying the Bondi, I was obsessed with Hoka. While I do love the Bondi for running and walking, it's a bit too plush. The Clifton is the right amount of plush. The width I think is normal, no need to size up if you use medium width. I have super high arches and I typically have issues with shoes that don't have stretchy uppers, the Clifton's construction provides the right amount of stretch.
