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...

This shoe has saved me...So comfortable and easy on the feet. After 8 hours of being on my destroyed feet these shoes have provided me with the upmost comfort and relief...

I didn't learn about HOKA shoes until August 2024. Since then I have bought and wear regularly nine (9) different models of HOKAs. My most favorite model is the Clifton 9. I have five (5) pairs. I know the Clifton 10s are now out, but since I really liked the 9s, I wanted to be sure I had them in different colors. I will probably buy a pair of 10s eventually. I love the 9s and wear them as my go-to sneaker for everyday wear and use. I have gotten my partner wearing them also. He says that the 9s are the only shoe he can wear without his feet hurting. He doesn't even use his orthotics when he wears his Cliftons. I normally wear a size 10, but in the Cliftons I wear a 10.5 for more length for my slightly longer right foot. The Cliftons fit snug but not tight and are very comfortable for all day wear. They wear and fit different from any other shoe you have in a nice way. Read about the different models to determine which one you like best. BTW, I recommend you join the HOKA club via email especially if you're new to HOKA. That way if you don't like your first pick, you can send them back even after trying them out.
I would buy this product again and again

Cliftons - Running on clouds
Verified Buyer
Reviewed at
The Cliftons feel like running on clouds, comfortable but feels a bit too cushiony for my taste. I felt my Arahi 6's were more balanced and more versatile. The Clifton's are purely a running shoe, if you are looking for using the shoe for flexible use cases such as using it in the gym, I felt its not ideal.
Love These

I just left a 1* review for the SG6s (my 11th or 12th pair of SGs), so to relieve some guilt and offset a little negativity with some positivity, I'm here to show some love for these Clifton 9s. This is somewhere around my 30th pair of Hokas, and I've tried a few other Hoka road models, but these are my favorite. Feels like I'm running on clouds. They strike a very nice balance between weight, cushion, and enough stability. I've got about 200 miles on these pair and am only now beginning to feel a little breakdown in the midsole. I'm here on the site buying another pair, as I like to alternate my shoes every run.

These are the second pair I have purchased and I couldn't be any more satisfied with them. I feel like I'm walking on clouds. I love my HOKA mens running shoes.
I love the shoes and I definitely will by buying more.

Hoka shoes are the only shoes I wear. I have them for work. I have them for pleasure I haven't for walking my everyday use.

I was a PE teacher in NYC for 42 years. I wore every shoe from Nike to New balance. Once I found Hoka's upon retirement, my feet were in heaven. NO pain, no aches, only happy feet.
