Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9 GTX®

Nice sneaker, not as comfortable as the Bondi. Haven't worn them in wet weather yet, so don't know if they are truly waterproof, bought them for the winter season. Ultimately, I prefer the Bondi, which, while even more expensive, seem more exceptional.

I like them and bought a different pair as well that are a bit different. They're taking a little bit to break in, but I think they're going to be a good buy.

Be careful with sizing. Had to size a 1/2 size bigger than my regular Cliftons because of the Gore-Tex

I really like the shoes and they look cool. However a piece of the bottom tread came loose and is hanging down. after 10 months of only wearing them in the gym and I don't do cardio that's pretty lame

Would like to see the Clifton 10 made in a GTX model. I've kept a several pairs of the Clifton 9 GTX in my winter/rainy day rotation for years now. This last pair sadly will be the last after 3 pairs. The fit does not feel the same in the toe box and is causing toe issues. Even sent the new pair back for the next size up but didn't help much. Customer service is still amazing just done with the 9. Come on Hoka release a Clifton 10 GTX, until then I'm out.

They fit smaller than my last pair of Hokas, ordered as the same size. I wish that I would've ordered 1/2 size larger. Disappointing, especially considering the price and the great luck that I had with my last pair. The overall quality and comfort are excellent. I would advise others to consider the size issue when ordering.

I sent it back because there is only standard "D" width for men which is actually a "C" width for men. My typical size is 9.5 and because it has a waterproof membrane that may take some internal volume I ordered a size 10 which due to the actual "C" width fits like a size 9 and a size 10.5 would not be practical as then the length is too long.

Ordered these because they advertised as plush. For some reason they do not feel plush to me. I have worn them everyday for a couple of weeks and my ankles, knees and hips hurt everyday. I went back to my previous pair of Holas and didn't have the same issues after a couple of days. I know these results are just for my personal likes and may not be the same for anyone else. I love Hokas, but just not these particular pair. I will still buy Hokas but had to throw these in the back of the closet.

Extremely comfortable but the soles and material parts of the shoe do not wear well. Use for everyday walking and light workouts.

Shoe looks amazing but I have extremely severe flat feet. The arch supports was way too much in this style for me..

The rubber sole started peeling off after 3 months. I only wore these when I went walking, once or twice a week They were very comfortable, but for the money I spent on them,I would expect them to last longer. I would not purchase again.

The first pair I received I only had for a couple weeks u til the tread came unglued from the bottom of the shoe. I exchanged those and the second pair did the same exact thing. I gorilla glued them myself and got hundreds of miles out of them afterwards. My glue job lasted u til I wore the tread right off the bottom of the shoe. Great shoe for a 10-15 mile a day door to door salesman. Rain or shine. As long as the tread stays on the bottom of course.

I received this item as a birthday gift and within 30 days parts of the sole started coming off. Thanks to a good return policy. I ordered an alternate pair that lasted slightly longer before the sole started coming off. I am a nurse that is constantly on their feet walking or jogging although I liked the lightweight and waterproof features of the shoe, I did not expect it to have such a short lifespan

Got these shoes because it says waterproof on the description, but had to walk to the subway during a crazy thunderstorm and my socks ended up soaking wet. The reason I'm in search for comfortable waterproof shoes is because I hate wet socks. They are very comfortable, but not worth it to me when my socks still get wet.

I have bought 2 pair of Clifton 9's and have gotten a good 2 years of daily wear out of each. I bought a new Clifton 9 GTX, and one of the bottom sole rubber inserts peeled upon first use. I returned for the same and had the same issue on the same side and same insert. I imagine it was a bad batch or few. But looking under the pad, there were 3 drops of glue, not enough to hold corners down. Aside from that, great looking & fit well.

Not really impressed with this style HOKA. I like other versions better. These aren't as wide as my others.

I'm so shocked I got the same shoes for the past 2 years and they are all same size and nice toe box but this one looks narrow on the toe ? Why is that ? Can I see change this pls ?

Great shoe, wish I order 12's instead of 11.5 though. But so much cushion and looks sharp with business attire. Have not tried to run in them, have other shoes for that.

The shoes are incredibly comfortable and supportive. However, either the sole design is flawed, or I keep getting a bad batch of sole glue. Within 2 days of getting these shoes (and normal running on asphalt, the traction element of the sole was peeling off. I thought it was a fluke, so I returned them and got replacements within a couple of weeks. The day after I got the new pair, I went to play a round of indoor pickleball, and the same thing happened again!! I only played one game, and the traction strips started peeling off. I don't feel like going through the return process again, so I'm going to shoe-goo these back together and turn these into my walking/everyday shoes. I'll try to find some shoes that don't have separate traction strips

Sizing completely different than the regular Clifton's. I've been wanting to replace my 4 year old Arahi 5's for a while and this was a solid replacement (color and style) for everyday wear. I ordered same size (12 D) that I have and they're too tight on width and length. I tried on a pair of regular Clifton's at a local store in same size but Wide and they fit perfect. Unfortunately, the GTX doesn't come in Wide and the colors that Hoka creates for men are not masculine. I'll probably switch brands at this point since Hoka is more interested in agenda.
