Description
Light and plush for everyday miles. The ninth iteration of Hoka's award-winning Clifton franchise has launched, lighter and more cushioned than ever before. Eliminating weight while adding 3mm in stack height, the Clifton 9 delivers a revitalized underfoot experience with a responsive foam and improved outsole design. Removing overlays and hotmelts, the stripped back upper has been consciously crafted with a plusher heel, reflective heel panel, and streamlined tongue with single side medial gusset. Best for everyday runs and walking.

Badly broken foot loves this shoe
I love these Hoka shoes. They were perfect from the first wearing - and I walk on all types of surfaces with my dog. They are comfortable and stylish. I broke my foot - actually shattered some bones in it - and had two surgeries to repair it. These are truly the best shoe for all I do. I'd buy. Anot...

"If It Ain't Broke … "
I would be embarrassed to tell you how many pair of Clifton 6s, 7s, 8s I have in my closet. So, suffice to say, I am a big fan of the Clifton. I love this shoe. I trust this shoe. I love and trust this shoe for all the reasons we longtime, diehard, loyal fans of the Cliftons already know and hold de...

Hoka sneakers
Very happy with my first pair of Hoka sneakers. Love the feel of the sneaker so comfortable
Comfortable!
I have purchased 8 pair of these shoes...several for myself, 1 for my husband , 2 for my older mother and 1 for my sister and we all LOVE the comfort of these Clifton 9's!!
I returned them
I didn't like the color, so I returned them. However, I never got notified if the return had been completed. So far I have not received a refund. I have tried to reach out to the company, but continually get a notice that their return department is undergoing some type of maintainance work. I will continue to try and get in touch with them. I am not at all impressed with customer service.

BIG HELP WITH PLANTAR FASCIITIS
I bought my first pair of Clifton 9s last year after suffering with plantar fasciitis for 9 months. Within 2 weeks, the pf pain was gone. This is my second pair. Love this shoe for walking! I normally wear a size 10, so my first pair of Cliftons was a 10. I decided to try a 9.5 this time, and it's a better fit. Highly recommend this shoe!
My second pair of Cliftons, love them!
I walk daily and go to the gym as well, so these shoes are perfect for both, as well as gardening, etc. They have awesome arch support and are like walking on firm clouds! Love them!
Not like my prior Clifton 9
Not sure why Hoka keeps stacking the height of the sole. It makes the shoe look HUGE. I have the prior Clifton 9 and it was fine. I also don't like the prominent back of shoe "flip out", it looks ridiculous.
Super great shoe!
These Clifton 9 shies are AWESOME! I needed them for work - standing on concrete floors all day and they are AWESOME! They look sharp & keep my feet comfortable even after a 8 hour+ shift!
These are not white
the shoelaces have a blue tint and the shoe itself looks blueish.
