Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9 GTX®

My podiatrist recommended the Hoka Clifton 9 because I suffer with low arches that maybe contributing to foot pain and bunions forming. I'm in a season of my life where the comfort of my feet are more important. I searched the web for the Clifton 9 GTX in navy/red, which spoke out to me. After seeing the price, I vacillated over buying them. I read the reviews over and over and was convinced this was the shoe to ease my foot pain and bring me comfort. I received my shoes in two days. I opened the box. I wear a women's 11 and they looked huge. ButI slowly loosened the laces on one shoe, slipped my foot in, took a few steps and fell to the ground! I kneeled and thanked God for a shoe that was designed for my foot!! It was like walking on pillows. I had real stability. Finally, a tennis shoe that didn't need to be broken inthey came wide, cool, and comfortable.

I recently purchased the Clifton 9 GTX and was hoping for the same comfort I experienced with the regular Clifton 9s, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. The GTX version feels noticeably less cushioned, especially around the heel. The heel tab is shorter and lacks the padding that made the original Clifton 9s so comfortable. After wearing them for just one day, I found the heel area to be uncomfortably stiff and hard, which was a letdown given my positive experience with the standard model. Overall, not impressed with this style it just doesn't deliver the comfort I expected from HOKA.

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.

The feel of the shoe was too rigid, and although I do not have a wide foot, the shoe was too narrow. Uncomfortable fit, so i returned the product.

Long time Hoka lover and purchased these on 3/15/25. The tread is coming apart after 2 months! I wore the for my last half marathon and was severely disappointed when I saw the tread coming off. This is also dangerous for runners! Will have to throw them away.

The Clioper 9 shoes looks good and feels good but the bottom of the shoes are coming apart

I bought these shoes and I've had them for a little under 2 months and only worn them to work. Shoe started to come apart at 1.5months. I've only worn them to work only. Why did it start coming apart? These were expensive! I wish I could get my money back.

I just received my shoes and to be honest, these are the bests. My last pair was the Hoka 8. I'm definitely a fan.

This is my second pair of Cliftons. They were recommended by my podiatrist. When I say this was the best purchase I have made in a long time, I mean that! My first pair were white and I found that I needed a darker pair because I wear them everyday. I now have a pair of Hoka slides so when I am not in the Cliftons I am in the slides. The comfort is unmatched.

On the second day of wearing the tread on the one shoe started coming off. I was at work, the flapping sound kept bothering me, so I had to cut the piece of tread off.

I bought these shoes specifically to wear on my early morning exercise walks to keep my feet from getting wet on the grass. I typically wear the Bondi style and wish the waterproof would come in that style too. I am hoping this pair will last longer than my previous pair as I only wear them for my morning walk 4 days a week. They usually last only 6 months because of issues with the soles deteriorating.

These are the most comfortable and amazing shoes I own.

I am a Hoka fan , I bought many Hoke shoes and I loved them! But this one looks so big! It's like wearing boots! Also they colored my white socks! First time wearing! Unfortunately, I wore them after the 30 days and can't return them.

Excellent shoes. Comfortable, great fit and waterproof. Just what I needed for a rainy NW.

This is my third pair of Clifton 9returned 2 because the soles starting falling off. Hoping it doesn't happen to this pair because I do like the sneakers

These shoes have improved my endurance walking by relieving the stress on my joints. Thank you!

I love these shoes for the support and balance. I highly recommend them. I am very pleased with my purchase.

everything about this style was perfect for me except the cushion level. i ve been looking for a comfortable pair with thicker support at the bottom. hope they come up with cushioins like bondi 9 on this style. it would make perfection.

Walking and for work bcaz I do a lot of walking on my job. Material is very soft and comfortable.

I love my Hoka's. They are so comfortable and I will be taking them on my 3 week trip to France this summer.

These shoes are so comfortable and it gives me the support I need. I deal with Multiple Sclerosis and I am off balance and it definitely helps with that!!
