Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Like walking on the sky

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever tried.

This is the 6th pair of Hoka's I've purchased and I'm as pleased as the first. The orange sherbet color shows dirt quickly and easily so if you're someone who likes perfect looking sneakers this color isn't for you. Function is outstanding, no matter the color.

For the price I paid, I expected these shoes to last longer than four months. I would absolutely not recommend purchasing these. The colorful parts of the sole are peeling off. Better off buying something far more affordable if I need to buy three pairs per year.

Shoes did not even last 10 months. Bottom of shoe was coming off and only worn to work (basically just standing). When I went to do their warranty they sent the shoes back after I paid to ship them there. Absolute scam.

A lot of walking wish they were wider needed more space

I have had 4 major back surgeries and still suffer from daily agonizing pain. I have tried every shoe on the market and other than my trusted New Balance have never worn another, until now. My husband has them and gave me a gift certificate for a new pair and wow, simply wow! I am In love with this shoe, so, so lightweight and I literally feel like I'm walking on air, and I'm super excited. The fun colors do make it hard to make a decision, but you have a true blue client from here forward, so thank you.

I am 17 years old and started to work in an old general store where my job constantly has me on my feet. I started to work in April 2024 and by May, I had very painful feet. After consulting with several people who had foot problems, I decided to buy Hoka shoes on May 6. I purchased that first pair of Hoka Clifton 9 (which Hoka's website quiz recommended) and by August (3 months later) they had started to come apart on the soles. The soles had a pattern on the bottom, which was starting to peel off, causing me to trip at work. Thinking that it was a manufacturer's era, I called Hoka and they assured me that it was just that pair of shoes and they would start a refund, which would be returned in approximately 2 weeks. I started the refund on August 8,2024 and the refund finally came through on September 17,2024. More than a couple weeks late. Also on August 8, I ordered another pair of the Clifton 9's and received them August 13. I wore the shoes four days a week for approximately 7 hours every day. Today, September 18, I tripped again at work, and realized the soles were doing the same thing again. As soon as I got home from work, I called Hoka and spoke to a nice representative who immediately started the refund. After I asked her if this was a common occurrence at Hoka, she replied that this was a "defective pair". When I reminded her, this was the second pair in a row to fall apart, she said that the shoes should only last from 6 months to a year and that they had a warranty. And then recommended that I get another type of Hoka shoe.

These were my first pair of HOKAs and I love them! So comfortable and cute

My 3rd pair of Clifton's.very comfortable. I'm in my 80s and walk daily.

I have extremely hypermobile feet that constantly cause me pain. Even though I am young, due to hEDS I have developed arthritis in my feet and had also randomly suffered a stress fracture due to joint instability. After healing, I needed extra support, and my podiatrist recommended these. They are the perfect orthopedic shoe because they aren't hideous, and they are complete game changers in terms of support and comfort. They are cushioned and extremely comfortable. I will admit I did have to switch out the insoles for others for additional support, but that's because I have pretty significant issues. For most people with foot pain, these alone are going to be IT. I can walk all day now with minimal discomfort, which is a night and day difference for me.

I can work a 12 hour shift on my feet the entire time and my feet do not hurt after my shift!

I purchased these shoes on a recommendation from a friend. We both are avid walkers and hikers. They are the most comfortable shoes ive put on my feet,.

I'm a 58yo pharmacist that had to stand on my feet all day at work for years. My feet were hurting all the time and my podiatrist recommended I try Hokas. I tried the Clifton, and my feet instantly improved! That was about 6 years ago, and I've never looked back. I buy a new pair every year and turn my old pair into yard shoes. I'm not the typical athlete that you see on their advertising, but I am able to walk 2 miles a day comfortably, despite my arthritis. I highly recommend these shoes! They have truly saved my feet!

These shoes are unbelievably comfortable and you literally do not have to 'break them in'. These shoes make me feel like I'm walking or running on dense, supportive marshmallows. I highly recommend them!

These should be called Cloud 9s as opposed to Clifton 9s! I haven't been this impressed with a shoe in a very long time! I am an avid gym rat and I also love outdoor walks. This shoe feels like I'm walking on a cloud!

Love these shoes. First time in awhile no pain from walking

I use my Hokas to take my daily walk. They are supportive and comfortable. I loved the first pair so much I bought another pair.

I have bought this shoe many times before but this pair is sooo uncomfortable. Not wide enough; it hurts my left foot terribly and does not seem to have any cushioning in it.
