Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I got these a little over a month ago.. and I unfortunately just tried them on.. and they are so uncomfortable and narrow. I prefer the 8's!! My PT got them and said the same thing.

I wear Cliftons for road running and the cushioning is nice but this version feels different in the toe box (a bit stiffer) and have not been quite as comfortable as my past pairs.

I have tried so many different shoes for work (nurse) and these are the best I have found yet!

The color and fit are perfect

I wore my Clifton 9's for the first day yesterday and the improvements over the 8 are definitely noticeable. The sole is thicker and there is more cushion when walking. They are not stiffer, but there is a slightly different feel when walking. I were Clifton HOKAs every day for work and have almost every color. I loved the improvements from the 7 to the 8 and now I can say YES to the 9! I only wish Woman's shoes were more fun colors. I prefer a colored lower portion instead of just white. And where is the bright yellow or orange? Make them fun!

As an Elementary PE Specialist, I am on my feet all day., averaging 10,000-12,000 steps while teaching my students. One of my absolute favorite units to teach is jump roping. I love demonstrating for my kiddos and participating with them as they learn new skills and challenges. I'm also very aware that I'm not as young as I used to be (52) and that it takes a toll on my body. I injured my left knee during our jump roping unit back in December. I tried everything to heal it...icing, stretching, wearing a patella tendon knee strap, etc. It gave me some relief but I was still teaching through the pain. Then I read an article in our local newspaper about the Clifton 9. The author, like me, had a knee injury and recommended this shoe. I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! The feel of the shoe was quite different than the brand I've loyally worn for 15 years. (Well known and high-end running shoe.) It didn't take long to adjust and the cushioning in the Clifton 9 was exactly what I needed. Zero knee pain through eight hours of teaching, straight out of the box! I was so happy with my shoes that I bought a second pair and they arrived today. I will now be wearing the Clifton 9's exclusively until my injury is healed. Thank you for making a shoe that allows me to do what I love, pain-free!

Best shoe ever! Most comfortable sneaker that I've ever owned. Looking forward to getting another pair in a different color. I highly recommend them.

Love and hate these shoes. At times they are comfortable, like walking and running. But any longer than 3 hours, they become super uncomfortable. I have tried breaking into these shoes for a few weeks now and still the same issue. Color and look is 10/10; but as far as comfortable 5/10...

Love them! They are so comfy! I work in the medical field and I am on my feet all day I love these

It's a beautiful shoe but I like the Bondi better for walking and standing.

I bought these shoes from my trip to Italy since I will be doing lots of walking I've already been testing them out with 10 to 15,000 steps today and they feel fabulous very thick cushion with so much support that I need! I bought my true size in these are usually have to go up a half a size and tennis shoes

I have neuropathy of my feet and by the end of the day I am ready to kick of any foot wear I have on my feet. These sneakers I don't feel like that.

These shoes are so comfortable!!!! My feet never hurt anymore

Didn't realize how much of a difference new sneakers would make, especially ones with so much cushioning. I walk regularly for exercise and was having a lot of hip and knee joint pain; on the first long walk I took with my new sneakers I immediately discovered I had no pain. This is my second pair of Hokas - I wore the first pair out training for a 40k charity walk. I regret waiting so long to purchase my second pair. Love my Hokas and I'll never go back to my old brand!

I got the recommendation for the shoes and went for it. Best decision ever! I've been wearing them for two weeks, and they are so comfortable, my low back, and my neck no longer hurt because they are so supportive. The fit quiz was spot on!

As an active 65 year old and high school volleyball coach these are a savior. On my feet in a gym for hours several days a week these save my get, knees, etc.

The shoe feels so comfortable and soft. It is breathable and light. I really like it and I will buy it again in the future. For size, I went 1 size down because it was big.

I chose Hokas due to plantar fasciitis. So far - so good.But I still had to purchase orthotic insoles.

I am prone to heel spurs & plantar fasciitis & the Hoka shoes have literally saved my feet. I wasn't able to walk without wincing. Now I can walk comfortably without any pain. I just ordered the recovery sandal & hope they are just as wonderful!

Comfortable from the first time i wore them. Didnt realize how much a difference the support makes until I tried to wear old sneakers again after wearing these. Will be wearing every day!
