Very cute and look good but they are a little uncomfortable to walk and stand for a long time.

Most expensive walking shoes I have ever purchased. I thought they would be so comfortable and they are not. I am tired after walking in them.

I have had at least 12 pair of your shoes and this pair does not fit like all the others. I'm worried about the quality as well.

The shoes arrived on time, looks nice, but the sizing is odd so I have to return it. Although the length is fine, the width is not wide enough, the reason I gave three stars. For reference, I ordered W6. If you have narrow feet, this shoes might be great for you. Overall, it is a nice pair of shoe.

I want to love the shoe but it is too tight for my foot. Maybe it's my own ignorance and not Hoka. I've tried my hardest to break them in (just walking) and they hurt my feet every time.

I love the look of the shoes and almost exclusively but Hoka shoes. However, this pair, though labeled "wide" are narrower than all the other wife's I've purchased over the years.

It really stinks that Hoka has excluded people with wider feet from their entire lineup of leather shoes. I sized up to a 7.5 in these, normally wear Soeedgoat 5's in a 7W, but these were just too narrow and I couldn't justify keeping them even though they looked cute. Sizing up further wasn't an option bc these already felt a tad long. I also bought a black pair that I returned for the same reason, but that one also had a weird issue where both heels had a bright white drip pattern that showed through once I wore the shoes around and they started to get a little dirty, not sure what that was all about. I'm thankful that Hoka allows a trial period, I was really hoping these would stretch enough to be comfortable, but they really didn't give much after wearing them around moderately for about 10 days. I didn't want them to start looking too worn in so just gave up and sent them back. I would consider trying Bondi L's since they're supposedly wider but don't like the available colors. Oh, and completely irrelevant to this review, but Hike has now really messed up the Speedgoat, it's stiffer and somehow feels smaller in the same size. Why mess with good things??

The shoe is comfortable, I have always worn a size 9 shoe, even brand always fit perfectly. This shoe fits a little tight, and blisters form if I don't wear socks. Otherwise it does make my leg and back pain better.

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...

The look of the shoe was OK but not as nice as many other Hoka's and it just felt too snug, so wasn't comfortable

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.
