Customer Reviews Hoka Kids Clifton 9 (Big Kid)

I bought these sneakers for my 9 year old son for school. He has been wearing them all of 2.5 months now and they are already falling apart. Mind you he only wears them to school..he has other old sneakers he wears to play after school and on weekends. I love my adult Hokas and would recommend them to anyone, the kids not so much. One would think that for the amount of money we paid for these sneakers they would have lasted him the school year and beyond.

My husband got our girl these shoes as quick end-of-school-year shoes she could use over the summer. Week 1, they were done. As a Hoka lover, I was shocked to see they so quickly deteriorated, even with my low-activity-level child. She has never worn down a shoe before. Indeed, it was just a cheaply made shoe, as I discovered. Over the summer, we forced the kiddos to get outside. Since the shoes were already bad, I told her to put those on, which was a big mistake. On the first fishing trip at our local dam, a huge glass piece went through the bottom of the foam as we walked into our fishing spot. It was a scary moment since the glass poked through the shoe into the bottom of her skin. I sent these back to Hoka not just because I want my money back but so they can see how dangerous it is to give kids such a light foam that any object can poke through. They need to find a balance between soft, airy, and safety, especially when making shoes for kids.

I bought a second pair of this Hoka shoe thinking that my kid didn't use it properly. They are kids. They run, play basketball, outside, at the gym, etc. The sole of the first pair of shoes completely detached. Hoka made it difficult for me to return them. The second pair, although thinking we would use it for walkting and running, had the same problem. Good shoe for walking outside, bad shoe for multi-sports.

I ordered the wildflower / starlight glow color, which looks very pink on my screen, however in person the whole shoe screams purple. The shoe laces in the picture also appear pink, however mine were very purple. The real life color is so different from that which appeared online that I actually thought they sent me the incorrect shoe. I am ultimately disappointed in the color difference in real life vs the screen, and am returning these shoes. I ordered these for myself (a women's size 8 fits a kids size 6.5 - life hack!) but I will be returning these.

These shoes are amazing! They are so comfortable and cute, money well spent on these beauties!

Absolutely love the Clifton 9 shoes. This is my first pair of Hoka's and I am so happy with the fit, style, comfort and color. I would purchase again!!

I finally caved into getting a pair after I got blisters on my feet after running 2 miles in my other shoes. Luckily for me, they were on sale, but I would buy them again even if they weren't. Running 2 miles or more isn't painful now. In fact- I feel nothing in my feet. They are as soft as clouds. They are light and cushy.

My first pair of Hoka and I love them!!! Will definitely be buying more! I highly recommend anyone to try them out.

Wearing for exercise class and gym workouts. Really like the fit and the color is very nice.

So cute and comfortable! My favorite tennis shoes of all time!

I purchased the shoes for a trip where I was going to be walking around all day. They did not disappoint! My feet felt very supported by how cushioned the shoes feel. I would say I walked about 8-10 miles a day and I felt no pain in my feet. I need more pairs!

Do you have wide size on the future for big boy?

Looks, support,comfort, A++++

As a grown man with a size six shoe it is tough for me to find quality footwear from any manufacturer aside fron Vans. But for all day comfort the Clifton 9s cannot be beat. I am on my third pair...love them!

They felt great, love the colors and I got many compliments!

They feel great! Very comfortable!

Very comfy and can walk all day!

Someone suggested these shoes for me. After PT for a bad accident, breaking my back, and having horrible sciatica, I needed something besides cowboy boots to work around our farm. WOW! It's like walking on clouds! I actually feel like they have helped my pain! 100% recommend!

My everyday sneaker, love them, very comfortable.

Bought first pair a size too big. The exchange was super easy and convenient. I absolutely love how comfortable they are.

I recently purchased the Clifton 9 after having foot surgery since the HOKA brand was recommended by my Podiatrist. I cannot even express how pleased I am with them, I have never worn more comfortable shoes. They're my first pair but definitely will NOT be my last.

Purchased as a birthday present. My daughter loved them. She has really became a loyal Hoka girl!

Bought these for my granddaughter. She loves them. She works in a veterinary practice and wears them to work.

I stand for 8.5 for work and since I purchased this shoe , my feet no longer hurt. The color , style and comfortability are a 10/10. Light weight and well worth the price

I've always wanted a pair of Hokas and now I have them! Definitely worth the money!
