The toe box is oddly narrowfor an "all gender " shoe, I have no idea how these could fit a slightly wider footed person in the toe area. Color is closer to peach sherbet than a pink. Heel to toe drop is nice.

I usually take a women's 9W which fit perfectly. I took a chance on these and I'm not very happy with them. I got the men's 8/women's 9 and although my feet fit, they're not very comfortable because my feet feel like they're getting squished. I'm hoping they'll stretch out some as I wear them, but for now....I think I'd stick with ones that come in the wide sizes.

My girlfriend bought me these. I have been wearing the Clifton L's for 2 months, everyday at work for my healthcare job. They are super stylish and comfortable, but they squeak like crazy! Right at the ball of the foot, every step I take is noise. Squeak, squeak, squeak constantly. And it is embarassingly loud, please consider this before buying. I love them, but dang this squeak needs to be fixed.

Very comfortable and stylish. Felt pretty true to size. The only downside after a few wears is that the out edge of the soles are fraying. It looks like someone has been picking. At the foam. Not something I've experienced with other hoka Clifton's so I'm concerned about durability.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs SmallRuns Large
Poor SupportGreat Support
I really wish these would have worked out but they ran way too narrow in the outer pinky toe area (and I have a somewhat narrow foot and went up half a size). These have the most comfortable cushioning and look very stylish. I really thought I found the perfect walking sneaker for my European vacation. Thankfully I gave them a test walk around the block at home and my pinky toes on both feet were throbbing from being squashed. The material by the outer pinky toes is a hard leather that doesn’t have any give so this area will not stretch at all. Very curious to have a rigid band of stiff material wrapping around the toe area on these sneakers. If they redesigned the upper and took away this design feature, this would be the perfect walking sneaker.

I absolutely love the Clifton 9's in women's, but im having a tough time with sizing in the Clifton L's. I absolutely love the design and aesthetics of the shoe, but the all-gender sizing is very off for me. I have tried 3 different sizes in this shoe and none of them fit as well as the Clifton 9 in women's. I'm disappointed because these are by far the cutes, most fashionable t shoes Hoka offers for women in my opinion. Would love to see them with women's sizing in the future.

Got these to replace the out of style unisex leather walkers hoka made last year which were freakin awesome. These have great cushion and support as other have said but run smaller and more narrow than other styles I've worn (leather walkers/ bondi sr leather) Toes are hurting. Would recommend but would also recommend getting the next size up from your current size.

Great padding; however, the shoes were too narrow for me at the toes (and I don't have wide feet...). They squish my toes when walking. I ordered my normal shoe size. They're not comfortable enough for long walks, unfortunately...

Nice looking shoes but make my toes numb and a little bit narrow.

I really liked how these shoes felt, but quite literally in one week of wearing them, the sole started to fall off the bottom. I reached out asking if I could have a partial refund because I still liked the shoe but would repair it. They said I could either exchange it (an inconvenience to my time and schedule) or I could accept a 10% discount for my NEXT order, but they couldn't give me the code in that moment, I had to wait until I order from them again and then call to get the code (another inconvenience and a slap in the the face because I'll never order from them again). I would never consider supporting Hoka again out of principle.

I have many pairs of Clifton style, and they all have felt wonderful from the time I 1st put them on. I just ordered the all black color. They do not fit the same. The ball of my foot toe area walks higher. I am gong to have to return them.

In the past I wore Bondi 8. They were good for my Plantar Fasciitis. I decided to try the Clifton. They looked cool and I like the color. They felt kind of stiff. I ended up getting bruises under the ball of my feet on both sides. I am returning them and going back to the Bondi 8.

This is absolutely NOT the color it looks like in the picture! They are comfortable, but they are black and white period! The box was correct color and the order was but trust me they are black and white! Very disappointed!

I tried the shoes on and they are too small. I usually wear a size US 12.

I returned the second pair Clifton L's I purchased since the fit is different. I'm so disappointed it had only been maybe 4 months since my first pair (which I love). The fit is different in the toe box and I had to return them. Not sure why this happens often with different styles of Hoka's but it does. I do own several styles and it is the same issue.

These Hoka have fallen apart months before any othe pair of Hoka I’ve worn. The tan part of the tread is falling off, and the back pull on strap on one pulled loose. So bummed.

First pair of Hoka's I've ever bought myself. I love the color and style but I wore them for 2 days at ACL and was left with blisters on both of my feet. Already sent them back and am very disappointed about it :-/

I purchased Clifton L Suede last year for Disneyland and it was the best walking experience I've ever had at the park. I purchased regular Clifton L for a 3 day Disneyland trip again and my feet hurt at the end of each day. Not sure if the quality is going down at Hoka or the Suede is more premium version. Disappointed in this shoe. Hopefully they accept my return on these.

I have had these shoes for about 5 months and the area inside the shoe near the heel is already starting to wear away. I have only used these shoes for walking and would expect them to last longer given the price point.

Sizing is totally off ordered a men's 11 1/2 and it's equivalent to a size 9. My husband's toes curled in the front. I should've read the reviews closely because there were a lot of complaints.

These run a half size smaller than the other styles of hokas. I have now bought 5 pairs and this is the first pair I did not like. The are hard and uncomfortable. Returning them for a different pair even if they cost more.
