Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Feels a little too big. Maybe order 10.5 next time! Love the shoes. My foot pain is now very minimal. I have a broken foot from 2016. These shoes are a miracle to me! Thanks so much!

Decent shoe as I bought for loved one as they wear wide width shoes thank for this availability the day Clifton 9 was released.

These are fantastic shoes. I was on my feet all day nonstop and the showed really held up for me. No feet of back aches.

In my opinion, the changes made took away from what I loved about the clifton- which was a comfortable right out of the box great shoe. The 9 base in now too thick and makes walking or running feel awkward as a lot of the hoka shoes do for me. I returned them and bought an additional pair of clifton 8's on sale, even though all the good colors were sold out. Hopefully the next version will take away some of the height added to the 9 and I can go back to the clifton series or else I will have to find a new shoe to love. Also I realize Hoka prides themselves on their color choices, but just so you know, MANY people want a basic color (such as gray color of the 8's) for a choice in every single athletic shoe. I have had dozens of people ask me about where to find the gray clifton 8's, but sadly they sold out long ago and more were never made.

Hoka's are the only athletic I can wear! They're perfect for both running and walking!

The width seem a bit wider and more comfortable.

Let me start by saying I love Hoka and ONLY wear Hoka. I wear the Rincon for every day walking but use the Clifton 8 for running and racing. Was so excited when the Clifton 9 came out. I wore them once and noticed the ball of my foot was burning, too much movement in the toe box. I usually wear a wide so I figured maybe I would try the regular...too narrow. I decided to try another run in the 9. When I got home (5 miles) I had a blister between my big toe and 2nd toe. My sister also wears Clifton 8 to run. She got a massive blister between her 2nd and 3rd toe. Problem is the toe box is too wide and my feet slip around too much...trying the regular width did not help. I packed them up and sent them back and ordered 2 pair of Clifton 8.

These are my favorite Hokas to date. I can wear them all day and don't have any discomfort on my upper foot or heel, and they provide amazing cushion without being clunky. An easy 5 star review!

Like walking on pillows

I love them. So much cushion and so comfortable. Love the new colors

I wore them first for a moderate walk, and they were so comfy!

I run for recreation. These shoes are light and easy to run in.

These are better than the 8's. Somehow they fit better and are more cushioned.

I am IN LOVE with my new Clifton 9's. They were incredible comfortable fresh out of the box and instantly became my favorite running shoe. The provide so much comfort and support, making them a dream to run in. Only issue is that I want more pairs in different colors haha! Such a great shoe!

Love these clifton's!! The pink is so fun and bright. I'm usually a size 8.5-9 and got a 9 in these. Im used to my Bondis but really love these too. The back of the shoe at heel is a little higher than I was expecting but i'm used to it and it doesn't bother me. I wear these for a lot of walks and working out mostly.

Third pair of HOKA's Clifton series. Will never pay any other tennis shoe brand. What fun color options with Clifton 9!

These shoes are a game changer!! They feel AMAZING on my feet for my long nurse work days! These are my first pair of Hokas and I am so impressed! I actually was told the Bondi 8 have better support, idk how that is possible, but I went ahead and purchased those as well and they should be coming soon! I purchased and 8.5 which is my true size, they have a little toe space which I'm fine with because my feet tend to swell.

I really really wanted to love these shoes. I think they're super cute and love the cushion. However, I have narrow feet and they're too narrow even for me especially in the heal area. The outside of my left foot would go numb after a little bit cuz the edge of the sole is so narrow. I've worn them a couple times and already they look dirty. The upper area seems super cheap also and can't see it holding up. So disappointed that they didn't work for me. Will return and go back to my trusted Brooks.

I needed new shoes to replace my Mach 4 shoe (which I love). I tried going to my local Hoka Store, but unfortunately, they had a low inventory of all shoes. They only had one shoe available to try on, the Bondi X. I fell in love with this shoe because of how bouncy I felt in them. Unfortunately, the store salesperson suggested I shouldn't buy them because I could get injured. Weird. I almost bought another brand, but I am glad I got these online. I purchased the Clifton 8's, Clifton 9, and the Bondi 8. I wanted to force myself to like the Clifton 8's because of the sale ticket price. However, I am glad I chose my initial choice and stayed with the Clifton 9's. They are light and lighter than the old Clifton 8's and Bondi. In my opinion, this shoe is the perfect outdoor running shoe. I've had horrible back, hip, and knee pain due to my sport. The Clifton 9's has decreased my aches and pain. My runs are enjoyable now. The technology of this shoe is phenomenal. This shoe was way more plush than the Bondi 8 and had a sleek look. For some reason, the Bondi is a wide shoe. Back to the Clifton 9's, I can't get over how bouncy I feel in these. I will be buying a second pair for sure in the future. I went with my usual size, but nothing changed here, which is also good. I am a 6.5 or 7 in Nike; I wear a 6.5 (not running shoes), and in Hoka, I am a 7. These shoes are not too big or too small because I go with how I feel running in a shoe. It would be great if Hoka stores had treadmills for customers to try out the shoe. I got my first pair of Hoka's at Snails Pace; they measured me and had me run. The Width is perfect. If you like the Mach 4, these might be your next favorite shoe. I do mostly road/street runs.

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the update. 9 is wider, extra cushion, fits my foot so differently beware, however i do know some ppl like it

I personally love the Clifton style because the front of the shoe isn't too wide on my feet! I also like the material better than some other Hoka styles. I wear a 7 in Hokas but I wear a 7.5 in nike for reference.

Feels a little too big. Maybe order 10.5 next time! Love the shoes. My foot pain is now very minimal. I have a broken foot from 2016. These shoes are a miracle to me! Thanks so much!

I have to agree with other reviews - I love the Clifton 8 more. The 9's have GREAT color options - which is fun. The fit has changed alot - I always wear a wide but in the 9 - it is SO much bigger in the front part of the shoe that I went down to regular. So for those of you with narrow feet - this will likely not be a winner. Overall - I'm always excited for new Hokas - this time - the excitement is really around the colors, not the style changes or fit of this shoe. It's still comfortable but not the perfection of it's predecessor.
