I like the style and fit of the HOKA CLIFTON 9. I have enjoyed the CLIFTON 9 in a variety of colors. I support others trying this shoe.

The shoe on left side is narrow for me. My left foot is slightly larger than my right so it was too tight,

Awful. Have worn Ons for years, decided to try Hokas - blisters after my first run. Unable to return so, buyer beware.

I love Hokas and they are the only shoe that make my feet happy. I was looking for an ivory or vanilla color but the Vanilla Astral has a strong pink tone. I would call it blush -- not what I was looking for.

I've ordered these shoes twice now, and not for the best reasons. The first time, I got my usual size 5.5, and the second time, I sized up to a 6. Both pairs were way too small. They were super tight in the area right before my toes, and no amount of lace-loosening helped. I really wanted these to work because they come so highly recommended online, but it just didn't happen. Maybe I'll give it another shot and try a wide width next time. @Hoka, it would be great if you included wide width measurements in your size chart because they're missing. Side note: Thanks, Zappos, for your easy return process and quick refunds. Really appreciate it in situations like this.

I can always count on the Clifton 9 to be kind to my feet. Rare that I can order and know what I am getting will work.

Not for me. I tried these instead of the Bondi 8. Felt like they were a little narrow for me so I switched back.

I've worn the Clifton since they first came out and they have progressively gotten more narrow in the toebox as years have gone by. I wish they would have stayed the same because I love the sneaker. I mostly wear the Gaviota but for some reason, they have a lower heel tab in the back and my foot sometimes slipped out of it at gym classes so I usually wear my Clifton. I wish they would not change them and I always say why mess with a great thing.

I got these shoes for working in the hospital, but I ended up wearing them 24/7 instead because they feel so amazing!! Getting a second pair for only hospital-use. I have high arches and they usually feel sore after being on my feet all day, but with these shoes they feel great! I wear a 7.5 in Nike shoes, 8 in Hoka - they fit great!

I use the shoes to walk for 4 to 5 miles a day. They are too wide in the tow box! I like the shoe but for narrow foot they are too wide.

I can slip on my new Hoka Clifton 9 sneakers and go! Never need a “breaking in” period. I’m so grateful that they come in wide width. This is my 4th Hoka purchase. No regrets!

I always come back to this shoe. Mostly each iteration has improved, and I'm supremely glad that these don't squeak at all with my orthodics, a problem I had with some of the previous versions. I have low volume, medium to slightly narrow, high arch feet with metatarsal issues and these shoes allow me my power walk every morning in comfort. They are comfortable out of the box and they last me a good six months before some of the forefoot support starts to break down. I can still wear them about at that point but not for the long power walks. BTW, I wash them in the washer (remove insoles and add in a few large towels to the machine) when they get dirty and they come out like new. Air dry.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Naot

First experience with Hoka… definitely worth the hype! Felt perfect from the moment I laced them up. Amazing support for arch and heels- and plenty of room in the toe box for my toes to feel super comfortable. Highly recommend and will be a Hoka girl from now on!

These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned. I do not need to use my orthotics with them! They are also easy to put on. They're lightweight, and pretty.

Love, love, love these Clifton’s! I have a nasty case of plantar fasciitis for the third time in my life that makes my walks not good. I have tried various brands of orthotics with no relief. I tried these, and was pleasantly surprised my pain was much reduced by these shoes! They feel soft but not too soft. These seem to cradle your feet and relax your calf muscles as you walk. I have a narrow foot and I wish they would make a narrow shoe, however I got the regular fit and had to wear a little thicker sock. No biggie. If these keep my feet happy, I will stick with these and give up on Brooks Ghost. Love the color, white with aqua! I would have liked to get another darker color as well but all the darker blues are gone in my size. I might have to try the Bondi too. Very happy with my new shoes!

I love my Clifton nine sneakers, but in the pictures online and on your site, I thought they were Dr. Grey, but when I got them, they are blue. I'm still wearing them and just ordered another pair of a different color but watching for that dark gray again.

A perfect walking shoe. Amazing cushioning, light on the feet, wide toe box, and a comfortable fitting heel. My feet, ankles, knees, hips and back love every step we've taken so far. Love!
