Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

The shoes are beautiful, and I really wanted to like them. I wore them around in the house, and they seemed okay. So I wore them on my 3 mile walk through our little town. They rubbed the side of my foot to the point on pain, and they rubbed up and down on my heel. I am sick about it since it appears that I can’t return or exchange them for a different shoe.

The fit and the size is great, they have come apart at the seams with very minimal wear. I love them and want another pair, just want them to hold up better

These are such nice shoes and I truly wished they fit! Too narrow and rubbed on the inside and outside of my foot.

I have worn Hokas, various styles, for several years now. These feel too narrow. I am returning.

this shoe had great support and the length was good but it was too wide for my feet.

The Clifton 9s fit true to size. However, I did not like the feel of the sneakers when you walk in them due to the design of the soles. The heel of the soles are curved upward such that it feels that a part of the heel is missing. My old Clifton 7s were far better in style and comfort.

The fit of these was fine and they were comfortable. Problem is the shape of the back of the shoe. The pad above the heel curves way out. It looked like an elf shoe!

I have been wearing Clifton's every year since the Clifton 4, owning 8 pairs over the years og 9wide. I was not a fan of last year's remodel, I felt they were made smaller and were roo snug in the toe box. These Clifton 9s are the exact opposite. They are very roomy all over, I had to secure the laces very tightly and my foot still slipped. The worst part of the shoe is the tongue. It is sooooooo big! It comes up higher than my other shoes and wraps around my foot covering my ankles. I returned the show for this reason. The tongue was actually hurting my ankle bones. I tried Gaviota and Bondi with no luck. I also tried 9 and an 8.5wide, even the Men's Clifton and no luck.

I wanted these so badly but they hit my arch in the wrong place..off to one side. Had to return.

I thought this was a good shoe. The problem is forefoot was narrow and toe box not roomy. Sad.

I think that Hokas need to be tried in a store. The Bondi in an 8 1/2 was huge everywhere; the Clifton is too small in an 8 and felt tight on the side at the arch area. Or maybe just not right for my foot. Love the style and color but returning them. Also not used to wearing a sneaker with so much cushion.
