I bought these about 2 weeks ago. I previously had a pair of Clifton 9M. This pair feels exceptionally narrow and is super tight on my toes and makes them fall asleep. I hate to give a poor review because I loved my last pair SO much but this pair seems to be manufactured differently than my first pair of Clifton 9's.

I really wanted to love then, but they hurt my feet. I think I will have to return them.

Shoe is inferior to the Bondi 7. Please revert to that style. My feet are in agony and all of my problems solved by the Bondi 7 are back.

I originally bought these at Dick's Sporting Goods. Within two weeks, the treads were coming off. They took them back and refunded me. I ordered the exact same ones directly from Hoka one month ago. The treads are coming off again. Not pleased for a shoe that is fairly spendy.

Resorted to online shopping because the stores just don't carry much in my area. Will be returning these because the insole ends in a hard lump just under the edge of my arch. Afraid it will cause irritation. Pretty color and otherwise a good fit.

Use for my daily walk on a concrete path. Shoelaces are the correct length.

I should have listened to reviewers. Far inferior to Clifton 8---toe box too small and hurts my foot. Do not like the high tongue. The cushioning is far less than the previous.

First, I am usually Hoka's biggest fan! Hoka running shoes are my go-to shoes (I have a knee injury so I only wear running shoes with a lower heel to toe drop). I was excited to wear Hoka Clifton 9 shoes, but to my surprise it feels like the entire design was different. I absolutely hate the new narrower design of the Clifton. I wore a Hoka Clifton 8 size 7. In the Hoka Clifton 9, I tried size 7, 7.5, 7 wide, 7.5 wide, and all felt like they did not fit well. The normal sizes are too narrow. I am disappointed because the Clifton was my favorite as a daily trainer. Please go back to the Clifton 8 design! I am skipping over Clifton 9 and hoping you change back the design for Clifton 10.

I love Hokas but was not happy with recent purchase. Felt like there was no padding and support like the last pair I purchased. Expensive shoes and was disappointed in recent purchase.

My podiatrist told me I needed the next size up which is a 12… my previous Hoka Arahi 6 was an 11. I know different models have different designs but my feet were literally swimming in these 12’s - they were too big all around and almost felt like the sizing was for men and not women. The box said women’s 12. The look of the shoe otherwise was cool but given the sizing discrepancy, I had to return them.

Not the sneakers for me apparently. I have an SI joint fusion and I thought perhaps these would help the continuous pain that I still have. However, it made it worse and caused bad spasms, so they obviously weren't what I needed.

This is my first pair of hokas and I had such high hopes. I was told wonderful things and I have high arches. I took the quiz and this style was my shoe result; however after walking in them they make my feet burn and I will most likely return or hopefully exchange for a different design shoe for my feet. My activities include: treadmill walking, lifting weights, and leisure walking with them.

This shoe was purchased to replace a pair of Hoka Mach 4’s. As other reviewers have mentioned, this shoe has a longer tongue than other Hoka styles. It rubs my ankle bones in such a way as to cause pain with every step. Additionally, these shoes are much heavier than my Mach 4’s. Too heavy. Had to send them back. Hoka, shorten the tongue to the length it used to be and reduce the weight of this shoe.
I'd also recommend:
Nike Vaporfly 2; for narrow feet only

Bought these for my daughter who is a nurse based on reviews. She wore them for 3 weeks and while she states they are very comfortable, the soles started to separate after only 2.5 weeks and make a clicking sound when she walks.

I am older and wear orthotics - I don't want to wear extremely bright unusual colors. I want to wear a color that blends with day to day life. NO white that glows in the dark or black because I'm short and black just emphasizes that fact! If I could suggest some more Clifton 7's or 9's in some more "soft" colors? Or more compatible with everyday living?

Shoes were too bulky and after wearing for a few days my feet started to hurt. I guess they were not for me. I've returned them.

I use this product as my work shoes. I am a waitress and I wear them 5 days a week for my 6-8 hour shifts. They have been great in the area of comfort however they are not durable at all. They have already started to fall apart and it's only been a little over a month since I purchased them. Parts of bottom of the shoe are coming off in chunks and the sides of the rubber are no longer smooth and instead look like someone tried to shave them with a cheese grater. I wish these shoes were more durable because I would buy them again and again if they lasted longer. Overall for the price it's not worth it for me for a shoe that lasts 2 months max.

I loved the Clifton 8, and bought multiple colors. The Clifton 8 was the best shoe, and had high hopes for the Clifton 9. Unfortunately, my experience with the Clifton 9 was a disappointment. After wearing the Clifton 9, my feet were so sore, especially my heels. I never had ore feet with the Clifton 8.

Super comfy but the shoes have began to scuff and some of the decals have started to fall off. As well as the the souls have began to lift.
