Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

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.

The shoelace came in with scratches.

The shoe came up to close to my ankle and was rubbing. I love HOKA's! I need to go to a store and try them on first.

I wanted to love these but that rocker is too much. I feel like I am always going towards the back. I wish they made the sneakers without these as they are very cushioning

Way too big length wise. Not comfortable

Terrible fit so disappointing as I have other hokas I love. These were immediately way too tight.

They were too stiff, not comfortable to walk on. I want to try softer bottoms.

At first I was thrilled with these shoes, but as I started walking on the carpet the tongue on both shoes pinched below my ankle bone. I tried adjusting the tongue, but that didn’t solve the problem. After wearing them for ten minutes they left a mark on my skin. I am so bummed because I love the light periwinkle color (looks gray) in the photo. I purchased an 8 W, which is my usual size. I’ve been a Bondi wearer for years, but haven’t been satisfied with the styles newer than the Bondi 7, which is why I bought the Clifton’s. Note to Hoka: please bring Bondi 7’s back in W widths in the vibrant colors you’re known for!
