Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I have tried a bunch of different brands, different variations of running shoes; but these are the BEST. These shoes are so soft, yet so supportive, not to mention SO LIGHT. My view on running has completely changed. I used to dread running, but since I've gotten these shoes I actually look forward to it and have been running the most miles I ever have!

This is my second pair of cliftons and I am obsessed. Just inserted some orthotics (due to some odd achilles pain that showed up during a marathon earlier this year) but otherwise they are an EXCELLENT training shoe that can handle distance. Love love love.

I love the Clifton 9. I purchased 3 pairs this year plus a pair of Speedgoat (my 2nd pair). I love the colors, but more importantly the shoes are comfortable, with great support. People notice the shoes and ask me about them. It is very easy to give a great recommendation.

These are the most comfortable shoes ever. They really do help alleviate my lower back pain.

They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. It's the only tennis show you don't have to break in. Love the color and have received many compliments at our local YMCA in Jacksonville, Fl. Love them.

I developed a painful case of plantar fasciitis. My heel pain was so intense, I couldn't tolerate wearing my existing shoes and going barefoot was not an option, no support. After rest, icing, exercises, and ibuprofen I could finally tolerate a tie shoe. Clifton 9 has been the perfect shoe, no pain just comfortable support. I used the Hoka size chart, which indicated I need a full size smaller than I normally wear. Shoes arrived, too small, I returned them at Hoka's expense for a half size larger, perfect fit.

I was recommended to get Hola running shoes by my Podiatrist . I was injured in my foot because I was using running shoes with no enough support so when I ordered these shoes I was hesitant to pay that much but I was able to do it if I knew that I needed . Of course as soon as I walked on them I was able to feel such a support on my feet that didn't feel before . Thanks Hola for creating these shoes for all of us athletes. Also love the colors that I offered

These shoes are so comfortable, I work any where from from 8,10 to 16 hr days and with neuropathy, my feet don't hurt whole lot, and my lower back pain pretty much don't have now. I highly recommend these shoes to my coworkers and any one who are in search of some really comfortable shoes

This is my 4th pair of Clifton's. My others were the 8's. I now have the 9's and love them even more. I don't run but I do a lot of walking in my daily life. And I needed shoes for back support with 2 bulging discs. After having an epidural for one bulging disc my back pain resided but I was still having lower leg and foot swelling on my left side. I was wearing dress shoes to work and my Hoka's out and about. I had just purchased a pair in December of 23 and hated to buy another pair so soon. But I needed an all black pair for work. So I finally broke down and bought them and have not had any more foot pain. And minimal swelling since

Needed a shoe to help with hip pain before having it replaced. They helped so much and are so comfortable when it comes to walking and impact when moving. Great shoe!

They're perfect for the kind of walking I do -- fast and uphill. I don't run because my joints don't like it but I definitely power walk and they're great for that. My one challenge with them is that my right foot is a size 7 and my left is a 7 1/2, so I have to find ways not to get blisters on my right feet. But that's a me problem, not the shoes.

My favorite so far.

I absolutely love these sneakers! They are the best sneaker on the planet! I have knew surgery 2 years ago making it very uncomfortable for me to walk or stand a long time. However I make 3 trips to the UK and let me tell you how much I walked, 3300 steps each day for 12 days these sneakers make my vacation absolutely wonderful! I strongly recommend these to anyone who wants comfort and support. No leg pain, feet pain, knee pain, back pain! They are a life changing experience! Thank you HOKA so very very much! I am now going to order another pair just because! They are a five star sneaker! You will not be disappointed! I promise!

This is my 3rd pair of Clifton 9's and they are a must have for me when working in LTC.

These shoes made such a difference for my back during running and step class!

I used the online chat helpline to find the perfect pair of Hoka walking shoes. She recommended the Clifton 9. And she was right. Out of the box, these shoes fit perfectly, they are incredibly comfortable, and I love them. They are absolutely worth the price, and then some!

These Clifton 9 shoes are so comfortable and wear well. I will buy them again and again when needed! Love the color choices, also!

Amazing and very comfortable

I suppose I'm no different than others my age (76), as I have a few foot issues. After reading the positive reviews of Hoka shoes, I decided to order the Clifton 9 in Sandstone/Cream for walking. To be perfectly honest, the first time I wore them, I wasn't at all sure this was the shoe for me. However, after wearing them consistently every day for a few hours, I changed my mind. What I love the most is the extremely soft cushion and the slightly wider toe box. Highly recommend!

They feel like they were made to fit my feet perfectly.
