Didn't fit my foot

Shoe was light and looked great didn't fit my insole correctly. The top of insole was painful on my foot. I really liked these shoes but had to return them.

Perfect shoe, but no longer available

Runner for 47 years, and I've run in Clifton 8 since it arrived (8 pairs). However, now it has been updated to Clifton 9, which was not at all suitable. The heel box was too big, and my heel slipped in and out with each step, despite using different lacing scenarios.

eh...

I loved Hokas... but the last few pairs aren't the same. Too trendy and designed for trendy not running. Messing with hips and knees now...

Liked Them So Much Bought It Again

It's my everyday shoes and it's my second pair in 2 months. I plan to rotate them. I think I have some form of plantar fasciitis. Feet around heels hurt every morning. Tried tons of shoes, but feet still hurts in any other shoe brand. These are the only ones that brings pain level to very very tolerable level. Not perfect but best I've ever tried. They run a bit tight at first but quickly improves. I'm an 11 with any other brand. But really should be 10.5 wide. Most shoes are kind is narrow so while width at 11 is good, I have room at toe area. 11.5 Hokas fits me like a 10.5 wide. Almost no room at toe area. So fit feels perfect. I already feel like getting another even now.

My new favorite running shoes -- will buy again

The Cliftons fit my feet great and are very comfortable. I love the padded tongue -- the other models I tried had very thin tonges. I've worn these on 4-5 runs so far. Whenever these wear out I will likely buy them again. Great shoes.

Ist pair of Hoka

I wanted something for walking my dog. Did some research and seemed like Hoka was pretty much top of the lists for walking. Normally I go Nike but little unsatisfied on something comfortable for our walks, which range 3 to 5 miles - up and down roads on hills. Took a chance and so far, really happy with my purchase.

Good shoes

I work in an ER, so I'm on feet all day. It's normal for me to get out of work pretty footsore. These Hokas offer enough support to help with that a bit. They might be better than my leather moccasins. I've gotten plenty of compliments on them. I thought the colors were low-key enough to not get noticed, but nope. I'm ok with that though. They're comfortable. I like them enough to try the Clifton 9s someday. I hear those are more comfortable.

Bottom Peeling after 3 months

Very comfy shoes and I would not have a complaint if there were not issues withe the tread peeling on the bottom of the shoes. I use these shoes for general every day walking (not for exercise).
