Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

The shoe could not be more comfortable that is why I was purchasing this new pair for my vacation. I paid extra for two day shipping for guaranteed arrival before my travel. The website did not say that it would take Hoka more than four days to ship out the shoe and then it was two-day shipping. The shoes were waiting for me when I arrived home even though I paid a lot of money for the expedited shipping which should have made it in time. I understand a 24-48 hour time to ship but if it is going to be longer the website should state it.

Had heard all wonderful comments about HOKA. Not for me . Arch support not in right spot for me and front of ankle too high for my feet

I LOVED the Clifton 8 perfect amount of room and cushioning. When they discontinued it, I tried the Clifton 9. Immediately, my ankles and knees hurt just from walking in them, never mind trying to run. Such a disappointment! Why mess with a good thing? Please bring the 8 back!!!!

I didn't like how my foot sat in them. My heel used to go downward and my toes would lift up when standing still. It caused a lot of stress on my heel

Shoe was to hard and was not happy with Hoka customer service

I ordered size 8 and you sent size 11. I would never understand how you could ship that big of a size difference

They are supposed to be great for standing. They are not good for standing on concrete for 8 hours a day.

Sadly the Clifton 9s sink when I stand on them, in the heel area, and require more effort than shoes without so much squishy material. My foot has started hurting as a result of the sinking. How I wish I could return them since they were very expensive and using them is turning out to be very costly.

I had heard great things about these shoes. I have worn them for a week and they are horrible. My feet, back and hips hurt worse than ever with them. It feels like they have no support whatsoever. I wish I hadn't spent so much money on them.

This purchase actual cause more damage and pain to my feet. I've bought plenty of Clifton 9 before and no issues. This cause extreme pain and a tad bit too big. This pair from this purchase was off and unusual.

I currently have a worn out pair of Clifton 8s that I have really loved. When I went to buy a new pair, I went with the 9s and the ankle area rides too high. I ended up returning the shoes due to this new fit.

I found the Clifton 9s to be very uncomfortable. I wore them for one day and had to return them. My feet were killing me.

My pediatrist suggested these and new balance new form sneakers. I wore them a handful of times but my feet hurt every time after I wore them. The new balance sneakers were much more comfortable.

I am not a runner but I walk three to four miles a day. Inside heel padding is already worn through. These shoes also make my feet filthy. The mesh might be good for airflow but the dirt is ridiculous. Sidewalk or road use only. Too bad as I need a semi rocker and my Hallux Limitus likes these shoes.

The wide pinch my toes and not as cushiony as the Clifton 8's .

I have a sensitive foot pad after 4 miles of walking. This shoe did not help. Wondering if I should have ordered the extra padded version

I had such high hopes for Hoka. I'd heard great things. These shoes were torture. It feels like there are rocks embedded in the sides of the shoes. My feet were throbbing and swollen after a day in these. Worst pair of shoes I've ever had. Going back to my New Balance!

I bought these based on a doctor's recommendation and reviews about how they can help with back pain. It did the reverse for me. Might be this specific shoe/fit. Also don't love that they're a bit larger in size than any other athletic sneaker I own. And I've bought from most brands.

They were stiff they didn't flex as I walked

Purchased hoka in hopes of having less foot pain after work. Being a housekeeper on my feet 8-12 hours a day and they have done nothing more than hurt my feet worse.

After only a few weeks of wearing these running on the treadmill, the rubber on the bottom of one shoe started to come off. I have purchased 6 pairs of Clifton 8s in the past and this was my first pair of Clifton 9s. I was disappointed in the quality. They fit well and were very comfortable but did not last long at all compared to my previous pairs.

I bought the Clifton shoe. There was absolutely nothing light and plush bought them. I've been buying Hoka for years. This was the worse. I came back from walking my dogs and had to kick off my shoes, my feet hurt so badly.

I'm so disappointed in my purchase of these sneakers. The fit is all wrong. The wide fit looks like clown shoes. They are uncomfortable because they don't fit properly. They fit loose in front and my foot slips out the back when I'm walking. Of course all my other sneakers are the same size as these hoka but hoka seems to run big even though their site says size true to form. Why can't you just be honest so we can order the right size. Just Say size runs big! And I order the black so people couldn't see your free advertisement let's face it you are not on the same level as Prada! I wanted a neutral looking sneaker not a bozo the clown footwear! I was looking forward to ordering quality sneakers because I walk every day,too bad.

The Hoka Clifton shoes have been a life saver for me over the last few years. I had a bad case of Plantar Fasciitis, and these shoes cured it. I recommended these shoes to everyone I talked to. I bought a pair of the Bondi Hokas, and they hurt my feet. But the Clifton's were life changing. The new Clifton 9 hurt my feet, and I can't wear them. Now the search for a new pair of shoes starts all over for me. Brooks have came out with a new pair comparable to the Clifton 8's. I may give them a try. I am so disappointed in the new design for the Clifton 9's.

After having Cliftons 6-8, I was excited to order the 9s when my 8s wore out, but sadly I had to return them after weeks of trying. Cliftons are known for their arch support. I have quite high arches, so they've always worked so well. Sadly, that arch support has been removed in the 9s. Please go back to the style of the 8s when you design the 10s!!
