Seems like a decent shoe. But the color on the website appeared to be a darker grey. But this is a very light grayish blue in person. Aside from the difference of the color in the middle strip of the outer sole, it is actually more true to the color of the Ether Infusion style of Clifton 9.
There's no place to post a picture here or I would have shown you the difference. I am returning because I don't like the color.

The color gray is not the same as in the picture. It's very light almost white. Think I'm sending back .. very disappointed

Love these sneakers. They support my back more than any other sneaker I've owned. Thanks to my granddaughter for the recommendation. This is my 2nd pair!

When they arrived they were a gift and not the color my granddaughter wanted. So I returned. It was a super easy process. Thanks.

These could have been my go-to walking shoes. Unfortunately, the tongue rubs on a surgery scar.

Not the right shoe for me. Several years ago I found the Hoka Clifton 8 was the only shoe my plantar fasciitis could tolerate. I eventually wore them out and needed another pair. It wasn’t until I saw the Blanc/Swim Day colorway that I decided to purchase the Clifton 9.
Unfortunately, my feet have not been as accepting of the fit as the previous pair. I have a wide forefoot and the toe box is slightly narrow but I feel as though it could stretch out with wear. I also have a very high arch that requires arch supports. My current arch supports fit in the shoe but left me with uncomfortable hotspots in certain areas. (This could be totally from the arch support)
The cushion is soft and spongy, but still feels stable. In my particular case, my midfoot collapses too much with the springiness of each step.
I feel that this would be a very comfortable shoe for anyone that is looking for a cushioned shoe for casual walking or standing on your feet for long periods of time. It’s just not the right shoe for me.

These shoes feel amazing. I have had them now for quite some time and the only thing I don’t like is the blue paint around the sole seems to flake some. It’s not terrible but it is frustrating to pay so much for shoes and they defect even when you take excellent care of your shoes!

I was really looking forward to these shoes, but the ended up hurting my toes a lot. They're cute maybe good for normal walking but not treadmill speed walking. I had to go back to my old shoe brand.

My orthopedic surgeon's office recommended Hoka shoes as the next step out of The Boot after surgery for a Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in my foot. After research and consultation with my daughter and granddaughter, both Hoka wearers, I decided on the Clifton for its support, rocker bottom and light weight. I've been wearing them for 2 weeks now and I'm very happy with them. I've started walking in the mornings and I wear them all day. Very comfortable, supportive and attractive. Very highly recommended.

I use these shoes in health care. They are beyond supportive and comfortable. Only thing I don't like is they will a little tight on sides so next pair I would order a wide. Definitely recommend would get 15 pairs if I could.

I love my shoes. I use them for more everyday use rather than running. My feet are so comfy and feel revived after a long day at volleyball! Can't wait to get new ones!

Love this sneaker! I am so disappointed that I will need to return it. I ordered a half size bigger due to the reviews. The 10.5W was too big. I then ordered the 10W. That was too small, toes rubbed at the top of shoe. The width was good, the support was good, just don't fit me right.

The Clifton 9 is the perfect fit for my lifestyle. I love the super comfort, yet great support for my busy days. I also own a pair of Bondi's and they are equally awesome!

I am amazed at these shoes!! I have tendonitis and would have been in terrible shape if I didn't have a shoe like this to wear! Even my podiatrist told me I picked the right one!

Hoka has a great warranty policy. My 15 yr old son runs track. He blew through his Hoka' s in 7-8 months. Sent them to Hoka with proof of purchase and instantly was issues credit for a new pair.

I tried these shoes on at the Brown's store and they fit like a dream. They were extremely comfortable and seemed perfect until I walked in them. They gave me blisters between my toes and aches in my hips. I walk, on average, 7 km a day and I need shoes that can keep up with methese do not. My daughter uses them now for gym class and they work great for short periods but for long-distance running/walking they fall short.

I give my Clifton 9's 5 stars! I wear them every day. They are extremely comfortable, yet supportive! I have a somewhat narrow foot and the Medium seems to fit me just fine. I am 71 years old and a teacher's assistant for 1st thru 3rd graders. At work, I am always on my feet. This is my 2nd pair. I totally wore out my first pair. Originally, they were recommended to me by a pedorthist. That very first time I put them on, I knew.

Coming from a pregnant woman, these are the most comfortable shoes that ever existed! It's the right amount of cushioning, right amount of lightness, right amount of everything! I finally found the perfect shoes, these shoes are heaven!! My feet would swell from other shoes, but not these!! I can walk in these all day without a struggle! Would definitely buy again & again!

These shoes fit perfectly but have somewhat low arch support. A previous reviewer noted the tongue went up to her ankle and this is true but I didn't find it uncomfortable. The tongue was also puffier than I have had on other running shoes. I bought the sunset ocean/lilac mist and the color was exactly as described.

These shoes fit so well. I was concerned about the fit (7.5) due to some reviews, but I love them. Feels like walking on clouds. I will be buying another pair for gym
