Customer Reviews Hoka Kids Clifton 9 (Big Kid)

I've been a dedicated customer of Hoka for years. They have become SO much more expensive that I resorted to the kids section. The quality was nowhere near the same as the adult shoes. Felt like cardboard and looked worse. Don't waste your money or time returning these. The website was so slow, the page I needed did not load, and they don't include a return label anymore.

Poor quality. I bought a pair for my son and with a week the sole was coming apart. I thought maybe it was just a bad pair, so I ordered another pair just like them. Within a week they were doing the same thing. Very poor quality!

I ordered these shoes in a adult size 5.5 and then in youth size 4 the difference in the comfort between the two was so obvious I ran in both of them and my ankles were hurting in youth shoe. I don't know why there would be a difference in the two they should be made the same regardless of the sizes. I had to return the youth shoe. when you're paying such a high price for shoes for children they should feel the same as the adult shoe.

I bought these for my son and he has not once complained about his feet hurting . Usually after a day of school he would be asking me to rub his feet. Thank you Hoka for making these!

I love my first pair of HOKA but had to retire them so I decided to try the kids version and see of what I didn't love about my old ones were the same they are fixed! Not as wide or as thick of a sole. Love them and I am so excited!!! I just started wearing them this week and so far the 25miles have been amazing!!!! I didn't even realize I needed a new pair until I randomly looked at the bottom of my other Clifton worn out but I would have never known worth every penny! They feel amazing!!! Thank you so much!!?

The first thing that attracted me to the kids shoes were the colors. Kids shoes always have better colors most of the time than woman's. For some reason the standard colors for women are always pinks, purples and more feminine colors. I've never been a fan of those colors. I've always enjoyed the bold primary and secondary colors. Therefore when I saw the blue and red color I knew I had to get. I am lucky to be able to fit in kids shoes. I typically wear a women's 6.5/7 and I bought the 5Y and they fit perfect. Only time will tell if the quality matches up to the adult shoes. Luckily I can compare overtime since I have the Clifton 9s now in both women's and kids. One thing I noticed right away was the shoe material is different than the adults. Also the weight of the shoe. Hopefully it offers the same support or close to the women's since kids shoes are tailored to kids not necessarily adults. However at 5 feet there's more kids probably taller than me wearing size 5Y-7Y so I think I'll be okay. Upon first wear the soles were kinda airy and making a puff like noise. It doesn't affect the shoe in anyway but overtime I expect that to reside and more break in occurs with the shoes. Overall extremely happy and the lower price does help compared to the adult pricing. If you're on the fence about the kids shoes, I say get them. You can't beat the colors and the price when comparing to the adults.

These shoes are amazing! They are so comfortable and cute, money well spent on these beauties!

Absolutely love the Clifton 9 shoes. This is my first pair of Hoka's and I am so happy with the fit, style, comfort and color. I would purchase again!!

I finally caved into getting a pair after I got blisters on my feet after running 2 miles in my other shoes. Luckily for me, they were on sale, but I would buy them again even if they weren't. Running 2 miles or more isn't painful now. In fact- I feel nothing in my feet. They are as soft as clouds. They are light and cushy.

My first pair of Hoka and I love them!!! Will definitely be buying more! I highly recommend anyone to try them out.

Wearing for exercise class and gym workouts. Really like the fit and the color is very nice.

So cute and comfortable! My favorite tennis shoes of all time!

I purchased the shoes for a trip where I was going to be walking around all day. They did not disappoint! My feet felt very supported by how cushioned the shoes feel. I would say I walked about 8-10 miles a day and I felt no pain in my feet. I need more pairs!

Do you have wide size on the future for big boy?

Looks, support,comfort, A++++

As a grown man with a size six shoe it is tough for me to find quality footwear from any manufacturer aside fron Vans. But for all day comfort the Clifton 9s cannot be beat. I am on my third pair...love them!

They felt great, love the colors and I got many compliments!

They feel great! Very comfortable!

Very comfy and can walk all day!

Someone suggested these shoes for me. After PT for a bad accident, breaking my back, and having horrible sciatica, I needed something besides cowboy boots to work around our farm. WOW! It's like walking on clouds! I actually feel like they have helped my pain! 100% recommend!

My everyday sneaker, love them, very comfortable.

Bought first pair a size too big. The exchange was super easy and convenient. I absolutely love how comfortable they are.

I recently purchased the Clifton 9 after having foot surgery since the HOKA brand was recommended by my Podiatrist. I cannot even express how pleased I am with them, I have never worn more comfortable shoes. They're my first pair but definitely will NOT be my last.

Purchased as a birthday present. My daughter loved them. She has really became a loyal Hoka girl!
