Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9 GTX®

I really like these shoes, I do feel they fit differently than a regular Clifton. I think it's actually the top of the toe box that is shorter, not necessarily smaller. It gives a perceived feeling of the shoe being to short, at least for me. The sizing for me is correct and the length is correct, but I can feel the toe box top and it makes the shoe feel short. Obviously Y.M.M.V. Overall I like the shoe, I use it for walking and daily activities. I won't run or jog in these as it would definitely cause me some issues with my toes.

I wear the Clifton 9 GTX for every day in the winter and especially during the snowy days. However they our very hard to get on thru the hole. I could also use a cushy insole.

Attention these shoes are amazing however, the do run small and narrow

Not as comfortable as the standard Clifton 9, but overall a ggod product. When shopping for Clifton 10 sneakers, I was disappointed that practically all styles had light colored bottoms which show dirt more easily. Hopimg for new styles with darker soles in the future.

To be fair, I usually wear a 9 1/2 wide in women's. So I got the men's size equivalent and hoped for a wider toebox. Maybe I need to change my expectations for waterproof sneakers. But my big toes are sensitive if the toe box is too snug. I would try again if offered in wide versions.

I've worn the Clifton 9 in the past and I ordered the GTX due to excellent comfort from the prior shoes. I ordered the same size in the GTX and find that they are slightly smaller, therefore less comfortable. I've been wearing them to hopefully break them in, but, so far, with no improvement. I would suggest that HOKA note that if ordering the GTX, order one size larger than normal. If I can't get them to fit better after some time, I'll have to re-order the larger size.

I'm very happy with the Clifton Ten. The toe area of the shoe is pretty wide, but it's not a nuisance.

I love the cushioning and weatherproofing of this shoe! I've used it for both traveling and my walking job, and it's perfect for rainy and snowy weather.

Now I must say for my condition the Bondi 9 and the Clifton 10 do feel better. Not a huge difference but some. But I've tried Brooks, and all the others spent all this money and they legit don't even compare to Hoka. I have crpd and plantar fasciitis so it requires the control and comfort, Hoka has it.

I have been searching running/walking shoes and tried so many shoes, so far i decided to get a pair .Wow this fits me well and confortable, true fit.

Not as comfortable as the previous version. This newer version is supposed to have Gore-Tex. Three weeks into wearing them. It was raining and my feet got wet. Not so sure about the Gore-Tex.

If this shoe gets discontinued I'd cry. Only down side is the bottom rubber pods wear out pretty fast. & Tongue is sewn to the shoe other than that very comfortable. I'm normally a 7.5 men but I went with an 8 mens, recommend sized up if you have wide feet. They feel a little restricted when you first wear them but the loosen up over time. I love them, id buy another pair ON SALE LOL. Just purchased the bondi 9 we'll see how that goes...

The blue lugs on the bottom separated after light use walking after only a few months. I rotate through multiple pairs of HOKAs for everyday use/walking. Thought I stepped in gum or something at a boat show. This is the 3rd pair of HOKAs in the last year that fell apart or excessive squeaking after years of buying and wearing the brand. It's also the only ones I have purchased directly from HOKA. This shouldn't be happening from the pinnacle of shoe companies. Come on HOKA. I I received a refund and bought the same color and style of shoe hopefully this set is better.

I am currently on my second pair of shoes and they feel great. The only negative feedback is that the rubber traction pads come unglued from the foam sole after only a couple of months. Both pair did the exact same thing! I have not hit the max mileage for them yet so this was a little disappointing.

Hokas fit great, great cushioning, but ventilation in ALL models, especially gorged SUCKS!

I was very pleased with the delivery time, the shoe runs a little big, I would recommend not sizing up. I did size up a half size because I was ordering online and my ankle swells, that's not a problem for me with this shoe. They look really cool from on and from a distance. My back enjoys them also when standing still or walking on concrete.

After trying Hoya's Im blown away by the comfort. I'm approaching 70 and they are great for older feet. But my 27 year old son in law loves his as does my older daughters 33 and 35. I'm a raving fan and continue to recommend them to others young and old alike.. I have 3 pairs and love all of them. Only issue is they seem to run small for me. I bought 12's and had to replace them with 12.5

i wear these for everyday work. They run a half size small and don't breathe well when it's hot.

It might be because I weight 245 lbs but the Bondi version and now the Clifton version squeak when I walk. Very comfortable shoes though.

For me almost everything as I expected, the comfort, stability, cushion etc.. my only concern is I wish there is more color to choose for waterproof shoes.

Waterproofing is good, but it's quite warm, and damp inside from non-venting moisture at the toe cap. Cushioning is great. Fit is oddly large, foot sits far forward right to the end of toe box. Feels like a very generously wide shoe. Reflective accent are super visible at night. Glad for some color choices in a goretex shoe

I purchased a mens size 7, which, according to your customer support person is the same size as a womens size 8.5 wide, because the Gore-Tex Clifton is not available in a womens wide. The shoes were too small, so I am waiting for the next size up to arrive. I have had this issue with other Gore-Tex shoes - they always seem to run smaller to their non-Gore-Tex counterparts. So, this is just a warning to others to think about sizing up if they have wide feet and want a Gore-Tex Clifton.

I need waterproof walk/running shoes to take my dog twice daily in Seattle. The 8 is too small and 9 too long. Need a wide in this shoe.
