Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9 GTX®

Absolutely love them

These are one of my favorite pairs yet. They fit right, feel good and I swear they make me faster lol ;)

I live in the rainy PNW and walking two dogs daily means I really need waterproof shoes. These are the first ones I have purchased that feel so good on my feet as well as keep them dry. Best purchase from Hoka yet!

I'm in awe of these shoes. I've always had leg pains after work/clinical until now. They're super light weight, and have a bounce when you step so working for 12 hours have been a breeze.

Everything I was looking for in a sneaker.

Comfy for daily walking

Use strictly for running and they feel comfortable on my feet.

I've heard many amazing comments about Hoka shoes. Just as I've been told, they are very comfortable. I was able to work in them all day and not suffer from tired feet at the end of a long day! I will be ordering from Hoka again.

The right shoe fits a little tighter around my right outside ankle bone and can rub and make running and walking a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise the shoes feel great and seem to be waterproof so far.

These are not waterproof. Hiked in persistent light in Scotland. After 1 hour, my feet were soaked.

Very comfortable

Love the look of the shoe. It's comfortable, but I prefer the fit of the Mach 6.

So excited about this shoe, but there are no wide options. For now have to order a size up. Please add some wide options for this great shoe!

These shoes are great for long walks and daily use. I walk a lot so I wear them out after 6 months. I work in a warehouse, and these shoes offer great support and I like how I can wear them for all type of weather. If these shoes had more toe box room I would love them even more!

I planned to use these for a soggy trip to Europe. Unfortunately, they are too narrow for my wide feet. I don't see that it is offered in wide sizes, so I don't recommend if you have wide feet. I got size 9b and I'm normally an 8.5-9 in most shoes. Length was on the verge of too big (used the highest holes to stop my heels from slipping). Cushion was on point and they are really cute though!

Cliffton 9 is a very light, comfortable, roomy shoes, but the GTX top has zero breathability. I bought them to wear at work in the hospital setting. I need water resistant shoes. Unfortunately, GTX top make my feet sweat so much that I cannot wear them. They feel like winter boots, LOL. I will wear them outside while walking my dog in cold and rainy weather.

I was a little disappointed when my feet got wet in rain. I'm use to gore-Tex being completely waterproof, otherwise it's a very comfortable shoe.

hoka has been my go to since my physical therapist recommended them to me for recovery after i shattered my left leg and ankle in june of 2024. with just recently breaking my right leg in june of 2025 and having a boat load of hardware in my legs, it was no question, i knew i needed a new pair of hoka's before even attempting to return to work. the clifton 9gtx's are the most comfortable, bouncy, & supportive shoe i have ever owned. i went from barely being able to walk without pain and a limp to being able to run, jump, and even get back to work with no complications! with these being work shoes, i was looking for something waterproof for the rainy days and these are perfect. unfortunately, with the type of job i do, they just don't last super long. this is my second pair (work shoes only) within in a year so, that's my only complaint but that's not really on hoka. i think they would last a normal person a lot longer but i walk/jog 5-10 miles out in the elements in during the work days. i would definitely recommend to anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet or for anyone who needs a comfortable supportive shoe with amazing impact support! oh, if you're in between sizes or they don't have a "wide" option, size up!

I am a big Clifton fan but went over to the Gaviota because I need a wider toe box. These Clifton were a great buy, They are definitely waterproof. When I take my dog for a walk in the morning and the grass is wet my feet stay dry. This is a big yes for these. I just wish the toe box was a bit wider. I don't have wide feet but because of a bunion need more room by the toe box. Other than that they are perfect.

These are extremely comfortable the only issue I have is they dont breathe due to being waterproof. I work in these and waterproof is required. I would recommend based off the comfort of the shoe.
