Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Loved the look and feel of them, super comfortable, but they didn’t even last a year before the sole started coming apart at the bottom, and I’m not an athlete or someone who is hard on their shoes.

I’m very disappointed in this sneaker. I’ve had other Hoka’s, but after just 8 months, the other day I thought something was stuck on the bottom of my shoes. Turns out it was part of the rubber sole peeling away. I have NEVER had this kind of failure with any sneakers I’ve ever worn, often over a much longer period of time. Extremely disappointed and frustrated by this.

These were my favorite pair of tennis shoes I have had. I am a nurse working 12 hour shifts and my feet and legs felt great in them. The problem is they have lasted only 6 months and now my feet start aching at beginning of shift. Don't think a $150 pair of shoes should wear out so quickly with just walking.

I've had these sneakers for almost a year now, and I have been unable to sufficiently break them in. After a run, my feet are sore like I'm still running in new shoes. They are still quite stiff and not like the Hoka Clifton 7s I still use for walking since these Clifton 9s are so uncomfortable.

Fit and size ok. Didn't care for the look of the shoe.

I bought 2 of the exact same pair and I love the comfort, but they wear out SO fast. For the price, I won't buy them a 3rd time so I'm currently in the market for something as comfortable, but that has a better sole so that they don't wear out in 3-4 months of walking.

I have purchased several pairs of these shoes. The last two pair have come apart on the sole. Not hard use, mostly treadmill, and not a lot of miles.

These are super cute and lightweight. I got them specifically because I have a torn tendon and these were most recommended. They really give you a bit of a bounce in your step. I would have given them five stars however they started to come apart only after a few months. And I do not wear these daily. For one the little triangle piece on the side started coming off almost immediately. That's just aesthetic so I don't really care, but then part of the sole started coming off and that affects actually wearing the shoe. Not saying I won't get Hokas again but something to be aware of.

Width was perfect, as was the arch support, but just a bit short. Will try a different style.

The fit seems okay, however the shoe is not comfortable. They have great cushion, but something in the upper part of the shoe, the way it is cut is very uncomfortable.

I already submitted a review.

The shoes felt awkward on my feet. They looked and felt too wide. They also were very bright white, so felt like shoes for working in a hospital.

They were comfortable but not good for long periods of standing on hard surfaces

Too much pressure on big toe

I don't like the tail on the back, it looks like a duck, they should make them without it.

I loved the color, and the shoe being lightweight, however it made the issue with the ball of my foot feel much worse. I do appreciate that I can return the shoe.

The shoe was too firm.

I was excited to try my first Hoka after all the hype. Big disappointment, I read all the information and still got too much arch support. I felt it was digging into my arch, not a neutral shoe I was hoping for. As someone who has had lumbar back surgery after a car accident, I felt the instability of the soul, it felt like I was falling backwards. The look of them are really nice, and the cushioning seemed to be desirable, just not for me.

The shoes are very comfortable and supportive but to me, they look huge on my feet.

Just didn't fit right

They were not that comfortable, and I will be getting the Bondi 9's instead.

Zappos say these are a medium but in men’s B means narrow. Zappos please clarify your sizing and descriptions.

So if you work on concrete for hours and someone says buy these, think twice. I have always worn Keens and will continue. These sneakers are made to have impact and run. They are beyond ugly, too much cushion that doesn’t protect your feet.

i found these to have a harder insole and found the mach 6 to be much more lightweight, comfy and cushiony. i ended up returning these

I was disappointed in these Hokas. I bought a pair years ago that we a lot more cushy. These didn't seem to have much cushion. Also, based on previous reviews, I ordered a half size larger. It was way too big. Going to keep looking.
