I love these Shoes .... A Great Testimonial and short story!
Greetings! First and foremost, I was never a person who never really cared or put much effort into purchasing shoes. However, that all changed with my first pair of Hoka Cliftons, roughly 5 years ago. I was introduced to this company by a friend who recommended them for my foot problem known as plan...

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...

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.

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.
2nd pair, worse durability.
Reviewed at
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.
Very comfortable to walk and helps with bone my bone spurs

I go for my walks pretty much pain free
My third pair, each pair has wore quicker
Reviewed at
Have purchased 6 pairs of Hoka, Bondi 9's and Clifton's. Clifton 9's are getting cheaper feeling! Sole separating, not as much cushion! Would try other brands but limited by size 16. Return process is so automated! Guess I'm just an old guy who like to walk and listen to music!

The Shoes I Want Don't Come in Wide

I love these but had to return them because they're not wide enough and this style only seems to come in "D" width. Hoping that the wide or extra wide become available! These would be awesome for someone with narrow feet!
Like walking on Clouds

This is my third pair of Clifton 9's and you might ask why I keep buying them? Simply, the are like walking on clouds. My dog and I last year did over 1,400 miles and I would not be able to do this without such a great pair of shoes.
