Athletic Shoes
I bought these Hoya running shoes in an LL Bean store. I workout everyday and needed a running shoe that was comfortable and supported me during my workout. These shoes are excellent and I would highly recommend them.

I would never buy HOKA Again
I will never purchase whole because again. I just had one of the worst experiences with customer service that I've had with any company. I purchased a pair of Clifton nines in August 2024 for the specific purpose of taking a trip to Ireland. Ireland trip happened in September and was moderate walkin...

Walking on clouds
I am a nurse that is on my feet for 12+ hours, I leave my shift and don't feel any soreness in my knees or feet. I would highly recommend these if you are on your feet for long period of time.
Very pleased with this shoe
Use this shoe only at the gym. I walk 4 miles and 1/2 mile walking backwards in addition to weights. Walking backwards on a treadmill has been an issue for me with discomfort in the bottom of my feet, ankle joints, and knees. This pair of shoes has reduced discomfort
Clifton 9
Great fit, support and comfort with these Clifton 9's. They are the most comfortable sneaker I've owned. Highly recommend. Plus, these white with black aren't obnoxious looking. I normally wear an 8 but these seem to run small. Needed an 8 1/2.
Not Great at All
Shoe quality has gone down hill so much.

Head to our site here, bit.ly/HOKAEXRT, to begin the process and let our shoe finder tool, bit.ly/HOKAShoeFinder, point you to a more suitable match.
Nice everyday run shoe.
Cushioned, comfortable, a little tight at first but the upper breaks in nicely after a few runs and feels great. Nice and stable without being a stability shoe, can do tempo miles with no problem.
Best shoes ever
I have nerve damage on my feet it hurts to walk I use special inserts with this shoes I don't need them they are wonderfull they do run half a size or so bigger but they're amazing
2nd pair, worse durability.
I loved my first pair of Clifton 9 shoes, and was happy to order another after the first pair became very worn. While not as durable as other shoes I've had, the first pair lasted over a year with heavy walking and working out. The second pair look and feel great, but after owning less than a month with just a few walks, the tread began separating from the rest of the sole. This is very disappointing, and unless I glue or exchange them, they are not wearable.
Second Pair
I purchased my first pair of Clifton 8s a few years ago and just replaced them with the Clifton 9s. I run 12-16 miles per week, either outdoors or on the treadmill. Ever since my first pair of Hokas, I've had zero shin splints and less lower back pain.
Wonderful Shoes
90% of my life is spent in either my Hoka Cliftons or Bondis. I'm on my 8th or 9th pair of Bondi's and my 3d pair of Clifton's. Just a matter of which style or color I'm in the mood for.
