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...

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...

This is my second pair of HOKA shoes, and I couldn't be happier! As someone who struggles with plantar fasciitis, HOKA has always been my go-to. The cushioning and support make a huge difference—I can walk and stand comfortably for hours. Truly the best shoes for foot pain relief. Highly recommend!

I cannot say anything wrong about your products. They are simply WONDERFUL. The best I can ever remember purchasing. It's like nothing I've ever worn before. They sort of train you on how you can improve your walking and your stride.

Not even two months of wear and the bottom sole is coming off. For how expensive they are, doesn't hold up well.

Started wearing these on my walks and I seriously have no complaints. Very comfortable.
2nd pair is questionable....

This 2nd pair isn't as comfortable as the 1st pair I ordered. I also don't think the color is the same as what I ordered. the 2nd pair is mainly light blue, not a grayish color that I expected. I don't like the 2nd pair but so far the1st pair isn't an issue for me.
Very sad

I am a Clifton 8 lover I had many pairs and now i used up all my backups. I run a 5k at least 5 times a week. the clifton 9 in my current size are too small i think?? i bought the next size up thinking it solved the problem. I thought it was acceptable but after a week of running my hip hurts so Bad. I am now back in my old clifton 8s and returned the extra Clifton 9 that were on sale that I didn't wear. I don't know what to do now??? very sad. I really do NOT understand when a company has a good product they change it?? I know alot of younger people who switched to the Hoka 8s when they came out and are now back in the Brooks.
