Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton L Athletics

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.

i kept them for "inside shoes" but probably should have returned. they feel different than my other cliftons.

Did not like the color. Didn't care for the tread. Returned item.

Not sure about this style. My feet begin to hurt after just 30 minutes of walking

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 walk 5-10 miles per day and I don't drag my feet, however after 2 weeks the sole of my right shoe (Clifton-L) is de-laminating and coming apart. I hope to get at least 6-9 months out of a shoe, but my last 2 pairs of Hokas have started failing within 6 months. They are very comfortable shoes, but don't seem to last

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.

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.

This is the worst shoes I ever bought , usually with Nike & Adidas. Came across HOKA brand and decided to give it a try as read so many positive review about it . It is more premium pricing and I would expect better quality compare to those brands I wore before The shoes ordered online in Malaysia distributor. Received and tried it on. Somehow, the sole of my foot hurts every time I wear it for my workout. It also not as comfortable as claim. ( In fact , Other brands I wore has better sole support than this ) The shoes make me feel like it is from the cheap unbranded shoes we can find in Asia Market. Then I am still bearing with it. Till after 2 months , I came back from my workout, the shoes sole ( blue) actually smeared out to my beige sock! Before that I was wearing black socks so the smearing can't see. A reputable HOKA brand can smear color really surprised me ! I contacted the distributor in Malaysia ( note that the distributor is a reputable chain) to ask for explanation and they replied that as distributor they have no control over the quality of the shoes and asked me to contact official HOKA. I hope HOKA can look into this. I can provide the photos , distributor information and payment proof.

This style is definitely not for me,it doesn't have any support for my feet . They don't feel comfortable when walking.

I love Hokas and was excited to try a new style. However this style does not suite my short wide feet. They hurt my smallest toe on my foot while wearing them. So if you have wide feet I'd recommend a different style!

Hokas are cheaply made. The strips at the bottom of all three pair that I bought, detached from the shoe (1st and 2nd pair I stupidly purchased not learning my lesson). In addition the soles wore very quickly. After 3 and a half months the bottom of my shoes were lopsided. I finally went back to the Asics that I've been wearing for many years. They are perfect as always! I think I've had them over 6 months with little wear and tear. The only reason I bought Hokas was because Fleet Feet didn't have the Asics that I preferred. I saw that Hokas was the hot new thing so I tried them and initially liked the support. Lastly, I hate the colors that Hoka produces. They're so ugly to me. Never again!

This shoe is heavy causing fatigue , socks won't stay put, slide down into the shoe. they are uncomfortable and cause numbness on the bottom of the feet

I love Hoka shoes. I currently have 5 pairs and ware them every day. This latest pair is the same size as my other ones but way too small for me and ended up hurting my feet. Apparently they were miss sized.

I think their shoes are just overpriced and not worth the money.

I bought this and a pair of Clifton 9s online because they were running a deal. They were giving a discount on the Clifton 9s and free socks if you bought enough. I received a box with no shoes (neither pair) and only socks?

The first pair I ordered did not fit. So I completed the exchange form for a different size. When I completed the exchange form the color I wanted was available. When I received the exchanged shoes they were not the color requested. It seems like HOKA may have shipped me a different color without asking me for approval. I am now returning these shoes and not looking to exchange. If I buy HOKA again I will do so at a store.

These shoes are too narrow in the toe box. I had blisters after a long walk. They are my 5th or 6th pair of Hokas and the only ones that don't fit at all. I cannot wear these.
