Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

If I paid for these shoes then I would like to see them. So far nothing has been shipped to me.. This will be the last time I order these shoes.

I really wanted to love these shoes!! I wore them inside on a walking track, my lower back started hurting within minutes. I wore them once on a paved road in my neighborhoodsame issue. Everyone I know that has bought Hoka's has had a positive experience. I'm not sure what to do??? Continue to try and get use to them, or return. My center of gravity just feels off. I think the fit feels fine. Help???

Extremely uncomfortable, my ankle goes extreme inward and tilts on my foot, ouch. The inside of this shoe is not made for a normal foot, Im thinking there was a defect in manufacture of this shoe. There are good reviews , I am sorry mine is not. There is not enough cushion in the forefoot, a crazy inside lump, arch support? Treadmill for 1/2 hour made my foot hurt. I wanted to love these but I can not. My foot does not sit low enough in this shoe like it does in the Bondi. There is no support. Nice looking shoe but lacking comfort in arch and no cushion in forefoot. Thanks to great 30 day guarantee I have ordered another style. You cant go by description until you put it on your foot. True to size.

I've had these shoes for under a month. I've worn them maybe 8-10 times. The treads just peal off of the bottom. Disappointed.

The heel part of the shoe is too loose!

This new, softer style hurts my legs and makes my feet swell after just a short 1.5 mile gentle walk. NOT what I expected as a long term customer that HAD been giving rave reviews to perfect strangers. The cushion is so soft on the Clifton, it feels like one stepped thru a cloud merely to pound the pavement in bare feet! Why bother with shoes?? Before buying this pair, I had heard bad feedback at my local store and from fellow Hoka fans, but I decided to see for myself Honestly, if I could get a refund, I would buy BROOKS INSTEAD. I strongly suggest Hoka switch it up FAST to retain customers not already won over by competitors!

They are very comfortable other than they hurt my little toes.

The Clifton 8 was a better shoe for me. Please don't discontinue them!

We have over 20 pairs of Hoka's, and have bought them for family members as well. Rincon have been my favorite. I wanted to try the Clifton for the extra cushion. I just was not a fan of the show when it arrived, returned it, and opted for the RIncon again. My husband has Rincon and Bondi and said comfort wise the Rincon are his favorite. The Transport is really comfortable however when walking for several hours for events my back was not great.

I have been wearing Cliftons for several years and loved them because of the stability and cushioning. The new design eliminated the extra cushioning and they are very hard, like hiking shoes. I am extremely disappointed that I can no longer wear Hokas.

I wanted to like these shoes, but the first day I wore them I got a sharp pain in the side of my foot. I rested it and wore my other shoes the rest of the week. The next week I tried to wear my Hokas again and within an hour I had to take them off. Sorry, these are not the shoes for me.

Why change the Clifton model!!! Clifton 9 are so bad, my feet felt so unstable. I had to return my shoes :( I buy at least two hokas a year but now I can't enjoy these shoes. Models 7,8 were perfect. Anyways, if anyone sees this and relates, I tried ON cloud runner and they're pretty good. I'll wait to see if Clifton 10 is more similar to 7&8 but for now I'll keep looking for the perfect shoe.

I'm upset because I was sent the wrong shoes and they did not fit right . And this is the second pair sent to me by the way I had already sent back the first order to exchange for the pair I have now ..I'm very disappointed because these shoes costs so much money

Most expensive and most uncomfortable sneakers I have ever bought. Gave 1 star because 0 stars not an option

I have tried wearing these for a couple weeks now, my feet hurt them. They are just not comfortable after about an hour.

I used the product to walk. Even the wife was not wide enough. I went back to the Bondi 8 in wide with.

I expected more cushion. I think I may have ordered the wrong style. I may have to return these.

Did not exceed my expectations.

I'm a regular Hoka user for about 4 years now. I previously purchased the Clifton 8. They were phenomenal. Great support, great cushion, great fit (fit like a glove), great color....loved everything about them! I needed another pair so I decided to order and saw that they came out with the Clifton 9. So disappointed in how they fit me compared to the 8's. The fit is so loose, toe box feels different, cushion feels blotchy and not smooth and consistent. It's so hard to describe. It's so disappointing to know that they have changed since they have been my go to for regular use and working in the medical field. Not really sure if I'll continue on the Hoka train.

The show gives me more back pain. The other brand does not

I LOVE my Clifton 8s. The Clifton 9 fits nothing like them. Uncomfortable from the start and they do not hit the arch of my foot correctly even after trying a couple of different sizes. Will be so disappointed if I cannot continue to find Clifton 8s.

I bought these shoes cause I work in a hospital and a lot of people wear them and love them. My first reaction when I put them on is they feel so good. But after my 12 hr shift my feet hurt so bad. I think the shoes are too soft for me. I have Brooke's and love them.

I had a pair of Hoka Bondi 8's which were absolutely amazing from the first time I wore them. I wasn't crazy about the thickness of the sole so I figured I would stick with Hoka but try a different style. Well boy was I wrong. I have tried several times to wear these shoes (Clifton 9) around the house, walking my dog and to work. I only wore them once to work for a 12 hour shift and what a mistake. My feet ached the whole 12 hours. I am very disappointed.

I'll never understand why companies take a great product with loyal customers and then change it so much and ruin it in the process. The Clifton 9 is not even comfortable. The toe box is different, along with some other changes. Returned. After buying Clifton's for years now, it's time to find a new company and a new running/walking shoe. Bummer.

I tried to love these shoes as I read they are the most popular comfortable walking shoe out. I walk 6-7 miles a day daily but not with these shoes, by mile 1 my feet were killing me, I would have to stop and scrunch my toes and wiggle my foot to try to make the throbbing go away. Not only did the shoes bother my feet I had pain shooting up my legs into my lower back. Switched my shoe back to my original brand No Pain
