Customer Reviews Hoka Kids Clifton 9 (Big Kid)

I bought the youth Cliftons because they fit me and they are less expensive (also were on sale). They are not as plush as the Bondis which I love. They are good all around shoes but I cannot say they are overly impressive like other Hokas I own.

Item are very comfortable, light weight, and easy to walk in.

Grandson loves them

Like previous comments mentioned, these Clifton 9 shoes seem to be lighter and not of the same quality as Men/Women Clifton. This is our second pair within a year and I figured my child just really beat them up, but it maybe the quality.

I use these shoes for my cardio days at the gym and I love them. The color was misleading because I thought they were going to be more of a lighter pink color. I was considering returning them, but I didn't want to go through the hassle. I also felt that the sole of the shoe wasn't as soft as I remember when I bought my first pair. I own 2 pairs and I love them.

Don't get me wrong - just was not the right fit for me. Not my first pair of Hoka's - this was the first time I tried the clifton 9 - for me they were not as comfortable as my other pair.

The shoes are beautiful I love the color and the pattern, the quality is great. The shoes are light which I love but the only thing I wish was different is how stiff and hard he soles are. I wish the shoe had a softer patting on the bottom similar to a memory foam. Overall I'm ok with the product not completely satisfied for the price i paid but it does what it's meant to do plus they look great.

The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because one shoe feels tighter than the other. But overall, they are great support for your feet! I bought the kid size because I am normally a 6-6.5 in womens and this fit perfectly. They are a little narrow though, it would not work for people with wide feet.

I have 4 pairs of Hokas and I'm a huge fan. This is now the second pair of boy's that my 9 year old has had and after 2 months of wearing to school they are falling apart. A huge piece of rubber coming off of the bottom along with tearing and foam showing behind the heel. For the cost I would hope for much better. It's sad because they are very comfortable and he loves them.

These Hokas are super comfortable and very different. It is slightly big and roomy in the front. It is a good thing that I did not go up in size. It will take some getting used to. I bought them for work to support my feet. I bought black and white because I did not like the multicolor options. I will consider buying them again.

Comfortable. Runs a little big. The shoe fitter that is placed into the shoe has left permanent indentations on the shoes, Don't like that at all.

I like the colors and the style. They are somewhat comfy to me . Gonna try the sandals next

I purchased a pair earlier this year. I loved how comfortable they felt. My feet didn't hurt, great shock absorbers. My legs didn't feel tired and the shoes never felt heavy on my feet. I have several pairs of sneakers so I didn't wear them everyday.. I kinda wanted to preserve them because I liked them so much, I even bought my daughter a pair. One day while walking, I thought I had stepped on something, when I checked the bottom of the shoe, one of the rubber pillows like designs on the sole of the shoe was peeling away, I had to cut it off. Since then, it's happened several times and now the pillows are peeling off from the soles of both shoes. I still wear them for the comfort, but I'll probably check out similar styles from others before I purchase another pair.

I love the fit of the sneakers, BUT when I walk they make a ton of noise. The soul makes a "flop" noise when I pick my foot up off the floor . It almost sounds like I am wearing g flip flops!

I've had several Hoka brand shoes for hiking. Their hiking shoes have saved me from many difficult trails so I thought why not try a road shoe. I currently work as a mailman so the constant, nonstop walking is up there. I bought these shoes two weeks ago and the first day my foot had a bit of a challenge adjusting. The next day it was like magic. My shoes adjusted so well to my feet and way of walking I felt more energized and relaxed, ready to walk 12 hrs. Recently, I've noticed the cushioning feels lighter and lighter day by day so I checked the underside and yep, wearing out. This shoe is definitely not mailman walking 12 hours a day 7 times a week friendly. Maybe occasional running shoe but not sure what happened there. Shoe almost looks burnt. Very difficult to find a shoe that will last and handle all that walking.

I ordered a youth size of Clifton 9s because they have discontinued all good colors for women's sizing but be aware the quality is significantly lower. They don't even feel like Hokas to me. Returning and learned my lesson!

I bought these for my daughter. She is picky with shoes, but these are truly to snug from the top where toes are.

Need to return shoe, but they have the first shoe as in No return

Love my hokas, but the kids color that looks pink is way more purple in person. Kind of disappointing considering i ordered them to be pink.

The color that is supposed to be pink is definitely purple and I was pretty bummed about it. I loved the toe space but my heels were burning !! I will be returning this shoe

I was under the impression that the kid's version of the Clifton model would mimic the adult version. I don't know if Hoka has changed what they use for the upper for the shoe, but this feels cheap and almost plastic like. It's a weird upper compared to just about any other shoe I have purchased for myself or my children. I'm not a fan, but maybe some people are? I have not seen the Clifton 9 for adults (I wear the 8), so I don't know if the upper was changed for adults as well. All in all, since my daughter is close to adult size anyway, I don't think I'd buy the kid's size again. And now I'm wary about getting a Clifton 9 adult shoe for myself too!

Unfortunately my feet are very narrow and these shoes just didn't work out for me. The soles were so soft but it did not fit my foot anywhere in the shoe. I had to return

This is my second pair of hokas, unfortunately they are not as comfortable as the first pair

I bought these shoes in the color Cyclamen / Sweet Lilac. Sadly when they arrived there were no pink details or the gray triangle as shown in the pictures online. I chatted with someone from customer and exchanged them for the same color because I was told the pink details should be there, but the second pair also didn't have the pink details. So far they are holding up fine, they're just not what I thought was buying.

Only thing it was to big, made me look like I had duck feet
