Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Not good ankle support at all and very over hyped brand. I do not think it provides good structure or ability to be agile

I wear these to work. I do alot of walking on concrete floors and the cushion seemed to wear out fast.

I've owned many pairs of the 8 and swear by it. The 9 was not the same in sizing and level of support/cushion. I returned it immediately. Very disappointed as I very much need a new one since the 8 is being discontinued. It's my lifeline so I can still function and work. I depend on my Hokas. PLEASE make the changes to improve your clifton 9. It is lacking. If you order it size down a half because it's not the same sizing as 8.

I'm on my feet all day long for work. I have to wear all black shoes. One of my co-workers swears by Hoka and highly recommended these shoes. First day worn, my feet and legs hurt so bad. The pain was equivalent to that soreness you feel when you work out for the first time in a long time. I thought, maybe I just have to break them in a bit more? Weeks went by and nothing changed. My co-work purchase the same in a different color and returned them because they were uncomfortable. Unfortunately for me, it was too late as it was passed the 30 day return policy. This was money waisted.

Men and women's feet are not that different that you make wider(wide=2E) and wider(extra wide). And nothing for women, widest is D. This is purely sexism. I have never had to even wear wide shoes, first make the shoes narrow to fit like a sock and then don't make women's sizes. My left foot is injured because I wore Clifton just twice. The toes are crushed in the part they attach with the foot! I have to do physical therapy!

One of the worse shoes I have ever bought not worth the money this was the first time buying them I am really thinking about sending them back my feet hurt so bad. I heard everyone talk so highly about these but they are not worth it at all.

I have 4 pairs of Hoka 8 and love them! I bought the Hoka 9 and very disappointed. The foot bed is narrow no give at all. Now have to look for a different brand in wide's.

I was looking for a sneaker to do lots of walking in Europe, but before the end of the day my heels were hurting and my back was killing me. With all the reviews I read and they were made for walking I thought these would be great. Not for me and with the money I spent I was really upset. They just didn't work for me.

The shoe does not support my foot enough on the arch side, as well as the outer part of my foot

I have Morton's neuroma and my feet become very painful sooner than with the OneOne style.

the sole of the shoe is less substantial in density than the prior pair of HOKA Clifton's that i own

Something changed!! I have multiple pairs of hokas and loved them! I work in healthcare and on my feeti wore them for hours at a time. They are NOT cushy, springy sponge back soles anymore way to hard and hurt my feet!! I can't even get through a shift without changing shoes. I bought cliftons and rotate my shoes, I cannot wear this pair sooo different. Tried another style and the same. Sadly i'm done for now with hokas

Too big,returned

Do you make anything without HOKA advertised all over it? I've heard the shoes are very comfortable but I don't care for the brand name on it.

The Clifton 9 does not seem to be related to the Clifton 8. This shoe is stiff and sluggish and does not have comparable cushioning to the 8. The tongue on this version is also longer and rubs at the front ankle area causing constant friction. The 8 was such an incredible shoe, I'm not sure why the need make sure drastic changes. Returned to the store the day after purchasing. Please consider going back to the 8 version.

I'm on my 5th pair of Clifton's and have never had a problem before, but after only a few long distance runs the tread is falling off my new Clifton 9s in all directions. Love the fit and comfort of these shoes but very disappointed in the poor quality of this shoe

I was gonna use these shoes for walking, but was unable to wear them due to swelling of my left ankle.

The quality of recent Hoka went down compared to the old Hoka.

I had shoes EXACTLY ONE WEEK and the bottoms were coming apart and off. Running to a patient room, the dislodging sole causes my ankle to twist and I went face first into the wall. I consider a black eye and very sore nose a blessing. Had the wall not been there I believe I would have broke my neck. Do not recommend.

Hate

The Clifton 8 was the perfect shoe for my foot. Toe box was comfortable, helped with my plantar faceitis. No longer available so purchased Clifton 9. NOT the same shoe. Nowhere near the same shoe. Why would you change a shoe this much without changing the name not just the number?

These shoes hurt my feet and nowhere near as comfortable as my last pair.
