I have never spent this kind of money on shoes - for dress, the gym or work, but am sorely disappointed.
Everyone raves that they are so comfortable, like 'walking on clouds'. I really wanted a shoe that met that hype this isn't it. Thankful it was birthday money I purchased them with, otherwise I would be really crying now. Will return to my $35-55 regulars that feel just the same. Disappointed

Of course I love Hokas. They've been the best sneaker for me
On the Clifton 9side toe area you have an emblem on both sides. This rubs my toes on each side and I do wear short socks always. I've had to buy toe guards OTC. But over all I love my Hokas

These fit, but the heel cup is lower than the rest of the shoe and just doesn't work for my gait.

I am very disappointed in these shoes and this company! I had these shoes for about 6 months before the soles started peeling off. It got to the point where I was tripping over it. Mind you, I only wore these shoes for about an hour at a time in an indoor gym. I sent them back in for a warranty claim (which costs money) and they sent that back saying the warranty period had expired. I was shocked by this because I provided proof of purchase that it had been less than a year since they were purchased! I reached out to customer service and was informed that the decision was irreversible. This is no fault to the woman that helped me out but rather the policies. Save your money!!! Terrible quality and customer service!!! I have heard more and more people telling me the same thing about their hokas.

These shoes are really comfortable. I love the plush cushioning which puts a bounce in your step. I agree with other reviewers that this Hoka feels like they combined the original Clifton with the Bondi. The Clifton 9 definitely feels a lot roomier than the 8, but works well with a thick sock in the winter. I use it for both walking and light jogging.

I've been wanting a pair of HOKA's for a while. I bought a pair of WOMEN'S Clifton 9's. They are very comfortable but they are so much larger than my New Balance, Brooks and Saucony sneakers. So much that I looked at the box to make sure I hadn't ordered Men's sneakers by mistake.

My 4th pair of Hoka's. With any other shoe my lower back starts throbbing, but not with Hoka's! I am pain free. So very comfortable, great colors but most of all it has rid me of chronic back pain!

Super disappointed with the Clifton 9s. I had Bondi and other Hoka's that are very comfortable and I love. I have had these shoes since 3/24 and thought they just needed to be broken in, but that is not the case. They are just not comfortable for walking indoors or outdoors. The fit is just off - the sole of the shoe seems to direct your feet in an inward position when walking which is awkward and uncomfortable. The shoes look great and are true to size. Wish I would have returned them instead of thinking they could be broken-in. Also, I loved my Bondi's but the fabric started deteriorating after 6 months, I was able to get them swapped out under Hoka's warranty. This is why I ended up trying Clifton 9.

Disapointed. Many people recommended Hokas for their comfort and plantar fasciitis and I thought I would love them. Sadly, they are really narrow (I have narrow feet) and I even ordered a 1/2 size up because I like more room. The footbed was hard and painful - not soft or comfortable at all. I'll stick with my Asics Gel Nimbus.

This is my third pair of Clifton 9 shoes. They're just right for cobblestone streets when traveling.

I absolutely love these shoes. They are so very comfortable. I didn't order a wide and these are just perfect for me. This is the first time I have tried this brand and style. I will look no mire, I found the perfect pair.

It took a few times to get used to the "rolling feeling" of curved soles, but they're excellent for running or high impact cardio classes. I like the color black and didn't want to get too 'trendy,' but a style that will last for a while. I sized up a half-size to make room for my inserts and they're still very comfortable.

Due to were the cute little fancy high heel shoes, my feet were in so much pain. I have tried so many insoles and shoes with no relief. Hoka shoes were recommended and I figured what could I loose to try them. I now own 5 pair. These have brought me great relief to my feet. It doesn't hurt to be on my feet all day like they used to. Best money you will ever spend on a pair of shoes. I LOVE my HOKAs.

This is the first pair of Hokas I’ve had, and I LOVE THEM!!!! I had just purchased the Brooks Glycerin 21 in wisteria, and I love the way they feel on, but the color makes feel very self conscious. Don’t get me wrong, the color is beautiful, but as these shoes are for everyday, I feel a bit like a pastel clown. They’ll be saved for specific outfits and more of spring and summer. These Hokas, on the other hand, are ones I’ve had my eye on for some time. I finally went for it. The color combination is perfect, and they are so comfortable and make my feet feel very stable and like they’re being held. Can’t say enough good things. I got my normal size 7 and they fit perfectly!
