Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

Love my HOKA shoes, wear for walking. Feet have never felt more supported.

I was skeptical at the hype but wow did it measure up! They are so comfy and supportive and have made walking so much more enjoyable. I hope they make more neutral colors in the future. Could recommend more to walkers!

These shoes are amazing. Super comfortable to wear during a workout or even shopping! Best shoes I've had and now I want them in every color. Don't hesitate, you'll love them.

I bought these shoes for my mother who battles cancer to walk in and she said she absolutely love them. Her feet used to hurt but she no longer feels that pain. Thank you HOKA! BTW i have 4 pair and sandals 5*

I work in Healthcare at a hospital so I am on my feet a lot. These shoes are a saint especially with all my walking. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

Trying to keep in shape after a certain year is tough. I've struggled with plantar fasciatis for a year and my knees are sore. A hail mary pass brought me my first pair of HOKAs and WOW.... I'm almost bouncing as I walk. They are light, but offer so much support. I couldn't be more excited or grateful for these yummy shoes.

I love the way they fill on my feet. They are soft on the bottom which is where my feet hurt. They have lots of room in the front of my feet. I have had surgery for a Neuroma which is caused from wearing narrow, tight or high hill shoes. Even with surgery my foot still hurts when I wear tight or thin-soled shoes. I wear them for walking and when I know I am going to be on my feet for a long period of time. I bought the solid white shoes. I wish they came in more solid colors. Black and brown would be good color choices.

Although a bit too colorful to wear to work, I wear them everywhere else and I love them. The Cliftons are easy to slip on without a struggle. Excellent

I have bought expensive to cheap shoes. Thus far, these have been the most comfortable shoes i have ever worn. I am a Registered Nurse and am walking 10+ hours and my feet are not in pain at the end of my shifts. I watch my steps and i am 5-9 miles a shift. These shoes are a dream come true!!! (I do wish they were in my true aoze of 8.5, though!)

I've loved these shoes. I walk about 5 miles, everyday, and these shoes have been a lifesaver. I was originally walking in cheap Nike shoes but the soles of my feet became so painful. I made the jump and bought these. They not only allowed me to continue my walking goal, but it healed all the damage from the Nike shoes. I normally wear a size 9.5, but these shoes feel a bit bigger. They were very different to walk in, in the beginning, because I've been so use to wearing shoes for lifestyle, not for sport, but now I love it. So I would suggest you try these on at a store before buying, just to get the sizing right.

I used to have many pairs of Hoka. Sometimes same model but different colors. In the past few years, I hardly bought any, because I didn't see the colors that I like. Recently, Hoka came out with the rainbow color and I had to get a pair. I got Bondi first but the high arch support was not the right fit for my flat feet, so I exchanged for Clifton 9 and love them. They are comfortable as I'd expect from Hoka.

I own a few pair of Hokas and this model is the most comfortable model.

I was having knee pain during and after running prior to buying this shoe. Upon the first run in them I had no pain before or after. The cushion is great and they are still extremely light weight. I normally am a 9.5 but a 9 fit me best in this shoe.

I had knee replacement surgery March 2023. The evening of my surgery I suffered a traumatic quadriceps tendon rupture a complete tear. I had Surgery to repair the tear the next day. Non weight bearing for 12 weeks. Since gaining strength and ability to bear weigh & walk I've had a lot of pain, limping, irregular gait. The Hoka's I bought have helped ease pain, straighten my gait and decreased the pain and limping. I am ecstatic over these shoes & will be buying more!

Clifton 8s did NOT work for me. But I just ordered my 4th pair of Clifton 9. And I know what you're thinking. It's not because they didn't hold up. It's because I have ignored all of my other shoes for these. The Clifton 9 has been my perfect shoe, and I'm already mourning the day they are retired.

All I have to say is when your foot doctor tells you to purchase a certain brand of shoe, listen to him! Especially if he's wearing them himself. This is the perfect shoe for my feet. Comfortable, has the correct support for both arches, and is very lightweight. I've been searching for the right shoes for months and after several other brands I've tried, I am in love with HOKA for real!

I was a tried and true ON fan. I tried HOKA when ON stopped making my favorite ON running shoe. I was sure I would only kind of like the HOKA shoe. The first time I wore the shoes, I realized HOKA is way superior: the design, fit, and comfort are all better. I'm a believer!

I got the Clifton 9's because my Clifton 8 was very dead and ran out of my size in any color I would be interested in getting. I heard good things from the 9 so thought it should be a fine upgrade. I got the celery root/golden lichen color, I wasn't sure about it when i ordered and I'm not sure about it now, but its growing on me. I did 5 miles today with some tempo work and the shoe felt slightly firmer than the 8, but that could also be that it was my first run in them and they may soften a little bit as I put more miles on them. Either way the firmness didn't bother me. one thing that i like better in this updated Clifton over the 8 is that the insert doesn't cut into my medial foot, so I don't need to replace the inserts with other ones. Overall, the 9 wasn't much of a change from the 8 in all the best ways. I like the look of the higher stack, feels secure in the midfoot with slightly roomy toe box, cushioned tongue for comfort, and just enough cushion to make those easy miles feel breezy without it being squishy or unstable. Would recommend for runners looking for a comfy neutral shoe to log some easy miles in!

I've had a couple of minor knee and foot issues, and these shoes seem to correct my gait so that even with lots of up and down stairs lifting things for hours, my feet/knees/legs feel great! I love these shoes!

I'm not sure what number of pair of Hoka Cliftons this is but they have never failed me. I started wearing these shoes after developing neuromas in my feet years ago and haven't had one since. For every 12hr restaurant shift that would have destroyed my feet, I have these shoes to thank for being able to get up and do it all over the next day. I absolutely recommend them.

I waited for Hoka to re-stock this shoe and it was worth waiting for! I wear them at work where I am on my feet for extended hours and for walking. Very comfortable and no sore joints or back.

I would highly recommend this shoe! Feels like you're walking on cotton! I chose the bright colors being that I work in a hospital! Bringing daily smiles to staff and patients!

This is my second pair of the Clifton 9's and they are so comfortable. It feels like I'm walking on clouds. The material helps keep my feet from overheating on long walks, and they are so durable. I'll continue to wear Clifton 9's as long as Hoka makes the style.

I am so happy with my purchase! These shoes are so comfy and cute. They are perfect for the gym and go with everything. I have problems with my hips and need a lot of support and these are perfect! They run true to size too.
