I'm only buying hokas for now on

These shoes actually make walking and running easier and less of an impact on my knees. They also have a great (easy) exchange policy (I bought some that were too small and I easily exchanged for a size up with no extra charge) I'm a size 13 for dress shoes and 14 for running shoes and with these I'm a size 14

Good Shoe

This is my first pair of these while I usually get the Rincon 3. These shoes offer great support and are a comfortable fit but they do seem to fit differently from the Rincon 3's.

Lightweight shoe good for walking

Previous Bondi 7 shoe wearer and still have a pair left, but saw on line for sale Clifton 8. Brother in law wears them and said he had been happy with, so I decided to try a pair. So far so good, but I always add a fresh Dr. Sc..... insert as my foot soles need extra cushioning that no show provides me.

Go down half a size

I have run in every Clifton they've made. I was running in Clifton 7 in a 10 but for this version of the shoe I had to go down to a 9.5 to get it to fit right in the toe box. Going a little small is okay because the toe box has no structure anyway. And after about 100 mi it's going to stretch out and fit your feet. You are going to get comfort out of this shoe , but not high mileage. I have to throw these shoes out before they hit 300 mi because they are destroyed when they get there.

I have diabetic neuropathy and have very little feeling in my feet, and am prone to diabetic foot ulcers, my podiatrist recommended that I try Hoka and they have been a game changer for me, I feel like im walking on air, they are the most comfortable shoes i have ever purchased and now im having no problems with my feet

I returned 3 of the Clifton 8 not the same shoe I remembed.

The store is much stiffer than earlier models and not as cushioned. The colors weren't as expected.

Squeaky Sole

I'm a first time Hoka shoe buyer and found the Clifton 8 12.5 size mens shoe very supportive for me at 250lbs. The regular size was a bit tight or cramped along the span of my foot at the ball of foot section. I'm returning for a Wide 12.5 size to alleviate the discomfort. I usually wear a 13 UA shoe. I also had a squeak sound in the right mid sole of the shoe upon walking or jogging as if something was popping each step. No issue on left shoe. Hopefully the next pair will be better...
