Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I love the Clifton 8's. My go to shoe for work, gym, etc. the Clifton 9's feel the same on my feet but looking down they look much bulkier than the 8's dt design change. As a female, I really don't like to have clunky looking shoes. I hope when they do the 10's, they revert back to the way the 8's looked.

I have been a big fan of the Clifton shoes im on my 3 or 4 pair and sadly the Clifton 9, isn't it! My favorite feature of the previous Clifton was the silky lining of the shoe they never rubbed my ankle bones but I got my new 9s today and wore them to work and that's all I could think about was how they were rubbing with every step I took! The other thing that's not normal too us my right ankle was achy by the end of my shift and that's not normal either, needless to say these will be going back to hoka! P.s the darn tail feather on ur Achilles is hideous!

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 am in love with my Clifton 8's. I can't say anything bad anoint them and they left me wanting another pair. The 9 is NOT it. It felt like an entirely different shoe that my foot did not like. This shoe was not comfortable what so ever as soon as I put it on. The fit was off, nothing felt 'right'. I hope the next Clifton is what the Clifton should be not what this imposter is. If you love the 8, you might not like the 9 so heads up!

I started having leg cramps after wearing them. Tried it originally for 8 hours, leg cramps. Then tried for 2 hours and had leg cramps. Feels like my feet are in a concave for some reason

I have always been a huge fan but the new Clifton 9 did not meet ny expectations the 8s were more stable and comfy

Clifton is a shoe all my running friends love. I love Stinson 6 but lately the 9.5 just does not seem wide enough and they do not in wide. It does appear to be a wider shoe than other ATRs that are in wide. But I did guy the All Gender Stinson and the 9.5 W is better.

I can't explain it but I bought a pair of Clifton 8's and about (1) month later purchased a pair of Clifton 9's. The Clifton 8's are great. The Clifton 9's not so much. the fit is such that I find myself very hesitant to purchase another pair of HOKA's

The shoes were too big for size. I did the exchange but the policy was not clear about when the item will be sent out. Apparently the new item won't be sent out until received from USPS. It would take me 2-3 weeks to get the new shoes. I wanted to cancel the exchange and buy a new ones but customer service couldn't do that either. Wasted my half hour on the phone for nothing. First time with Hoka shoes is very disappointed.

Bummed about the aesthetics of the 9 (not to mention many other things about it, which I wrote about earlier.) The black shoe in particular is going backwards to an earlier time of loud graphics and colors. Whereas my 8s had a sleek, minimal aesthetic that made for good lifestyle shoe, the 9 (in black) is textured with slightly reflective dots and zigzags and bright white bits...not a welcome evolution for those of us (there are so many) that don't want a shoe that screams sport and running.

Not as comfortable as I thought. Good on the heel but if you do not have a high arch, it's going to hurt your foot after awhile.

I bought these shoes due to the great hype surrounding them, all the nurses I see wear them and swear they are the most comfortable, they are ok not the worse but to me overrated, my foot rubs on the inner side, I will no be ordering another pair.

Wanted to like but too narrow 8.5 wide. Loved colors Not enough padding & support.

They were narrow for wide width shoes. Not as comfortable as previous hokas I've had. Returning.

My heel was hurting after wearing it for 2 days at work.

I thought these would be good to work in. They have no cushion at all but I do like the stability they have

I was disappointed to find the shoes too tight in the toe box. I wear an 8.5 EE at least. Even though these shoes were touted as wide, they were not wide enough for my feet. They looked like very comfortable and substantial shoes otherwise. I returned the pair I purchased. I had to find a box to put them in for return at the USPS. That was a pain. I didn't have a very satisfying experience. They are good shoes, but like so many others, not made for my feet.

This product is hurting my feet

Right tongue gives me so much pain on my right foot and I am marathon training with very lengthy runs.

are not as supportive or as comfortable as my 8's. I have been a devotee for years and always buy the Clifton--same size, same width. These feel so roomy that it's like I have flippers on my feet. Even my orthotics fit differently. I run 5 miles a day, 6 days a week and I've worn these for a month now and my feet are a mess (blisters) and my ankles hurt. If I could return I would.
