Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

This shoe is like walking on air

Comfortable right out of the box, first walk was 8 miles comfortable beginning to end, been walking 8-10 miles every day with absolute comfort, love them, will buy another pair.

I'm a long time Clifton wearer. All the way back to the 1s. This version feels pretty good, but there are some major differences between the 8s and the 9s. Namely the tongue. The 8s tongue is all one piece of mesh on top. The 9 has three different materials and has a harder feel to the edges. This presses into my ankle. Yuck. Might have to cut it out which is not ideal.. cutting a new pair of shoes.. Why change something unnecessarily? (FYI.. The shoe is also a bit wider than past versions.)

I love Hoka shoes these make my arch hurt. They aren't the Clifton 8.

I bought this same shoe, Clifton 9, one year ago in a size 9.5 B. These shoes are very comfortable. I ordered another pair just recently, same size and style and they are slightly too short. If I didn't have to return these, I would give a five.

Finally, I got my first pair of Hoka shoes. They make me feel like I'm walking on a trampoline. They are cushy, bouncy comfortable. I feel like my feet look wide in them, but it's worth how my feet eel in them. Awfully expensive though.

This is the second HOKA that I bought for my wife. She likes this Clifton 9 better than the Gaviota 5. We hope you guys can come up with a slip on model in the future.

Power Walk

I use these for walking only. After 3 brain surgeries plus neuropathy in my feet, I needed shoes that were well-fitting and stable. I found the Clifton 9s to work perfectly. Plus, all the color choices made me happy!

I wear my sneakers to walk. They look good and more importantly they feel absolutely amazing.

I really like the fit. Toe box is nice and wide. Cushioning is perfect for my 2 mile daily walks. I gave 4 stars because they wear out within 4 months ( for me).

This is my second pair of Clifton 9s and they are so comfortable.

Most comfortable shoes I ever bought. Walked for hours. It is like walking on a cloud. Bought another one and2 for my dough yet and one for my son.

I have had friends who have spoken highly of the brand and shoes. As a person, with flat feet I work long hours with my job on my feet plus working out. The minute I put these on, my feet felt like they were on a cloud but supported. I no longer have any real foot pain when walking or working out. I honestly can't wait to buy another pair soon!

Love my new Hokas so far! My last ones had a defect but so far I haven't seen these have any of those issues Someone came up to me randomly and loved them so much she and her friends were ordering them as we were ordering our food!

These shoes are great. They are super comfortable and great for walking!

This shoe is 1/2 size smaller than another pair that I bought at Thanksgiving time.

These are SO good. I've been a Hoka wearer for years. My favorites have always been Cliftons but I've worn a few Bondis and the Gaviota 4's. About two months ago, after wearing out the Gaviotas, I tried a pair from a different popular brand just to do something different and was absolutely miserable. Finally gave in and got these Clifton 9's and immediately after slipping them on felt relief. I have severe plantar fasciitis, peroneal tendinitis, and achillies tendinitis in my left foot (had plantar fasciitis and peroneal tendinitis in my right as well but ruptured both) and damaged joints in my right foot and ankle. I work as a nurse on an excessively busy unit with very sick people and am, for the vast majority of my shifts, actively moving on my feet for the whole 13+ hour shift, from the moment I get out of my car when I get to the hospital to the moment I get back in my car when I leave. The Clifton 9's have brought me back to where I was with my foot health progress (that other brand was like taking 100 steps backward), are so responsive and light but have so much impact absorption. As someone with weak ankles and pronation/supination tendencies, these help keep me balanced and secure. They feel well-made and are sturdy without being heavy. They're worth every penny. I really can't say enough good things about them.

I used the find my size tool using the Brooks sizing and it recommended 7.5 normal width. I loved the color sooo much but it is unfortunately too narrow and it puts pressure on my pinky toe. I returned it and am ordering a wide width but I wish I could get the same color.
