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.

These changes my life
I know that is a very bold statement "These changes my life". I am obese, have diabetes, plantar fasciitis in my right foot only, lower back pain, and arthritis in both knees. I do not run, heck I don't even walk for exercise. I researched these shoes for over a year with friends, co-workers, and c...

"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...

The Hoka brand overall is awesome for every day running, training and racing. I have not been disappointed with this brand yet and I plan to order again when I can. I will need new Speedgoat trail shoes for my next 20 miler. I will also need another pair of Hokas for another Marathon this year.
Best investment!

These are the best sneakers I have purchased yet! I was worried they would be too narrow based on a couple reviews, but they fit so nice. I am trying to start walking every day and needed good, well fitted sneakers that were comfortable and these are them. My feet do not hurt after 2 miles and can't wait to hit my 5 mile goal.
Very comfortable

I have purchased other Hoka shoes in the past, and loved them. These shoes are terrible. They're like walking on bricks.

I've Ben a Brooks person for several years. But lately a lil unimpressed on how quickly they wear. I'm an avid walker and a pair would last me like 3 to 4 months before I'd notice my feet ,knees and lower back getting sore. I decided I needed something new. I've seen HOKA on different people when walking and in airports. Always admired the bright colors and the styles. Figured I would give it a try. Truly glad I did. With ordering the Clifton 9 I was quite impressed as soon as I put them on at how cushioned they are. Again being a Brooks wearer I tried the adrenaline and glycerin that were very cushioned. But the Clifton I was like where have these been. I'm excited to say I'm looking forward to trying other styles in the future. My only adjustment on future purchase would be to try a wide. With some wear they have loosened up and more comfortable. But at first felt a lil tight, after about a week they felt perfect. Would like to try a wide to see if it would fit a lil better. Then again it might be to loose. That's something to consider for next time.
Maybe too new!

Maybe I haven't worn them enough but so far, I'm unimpressed with these shoes. As a matter. of fact my left shoe is hurting my ankle. Will update if they feel better soon.

Great sneaker with great support! I will add that I think that my Bondi 8's had more "cushy-ness." Either way, I'm happy!
Wide might be too wide

These are SO pretty & more importantly, comfortable! I wear them to work in a medical practice and am on my feet a lot. Not as cooshy or bulky as the Bondi line, but they're great if you want a bit more streamlined than the Bondi
