Description
Light and plush for everyday miles. The ninth iteration of Hoka's award-winning Clifton franchise has launched, lighter and more cushioned than ever before. Eliminating weight while adding 3mm in stack height, the Clifton 9 delivers a revitalized underfoot experience with a responsive foam and improved outsole design. Removing overlays and hotmelts, the stripped back upper has been consciously crafted with a plusher heel, reflective heel panel, and streamlined tongue with single side medial gusset. Best for everyday runs and walking.

You get what you pay for!! With age, I had to move away from one brand and I to 2 others that we recommended for my feet issue. I walk about 100-120 miles per month and went through a pair of shoes that were dependable and less than $100. But recently, they were bigger than normal and my feet woul...

I would buy this again if Hoka starts listening to me
I love the Clifton 9 shoe. I first chose oceanic color until i received it, in which i sent them back. The shoes look green in the description, which is the only reason i ordered them. When i received them, i was disgusted at the fact that Hoka cant seem to get through their heads that it seems only...

I have the Bondi 8 . First paid of HOKA. Love it . I use it every day for work. Then I purchased the challenger 7 and Clifton 9. Liked the challenger 7 , not as expected but better than Clifton 9. I might exchange the Clifton 9 for a Clifton 10. There are not enough choices in colors for wide shoes. I wish there were enough choices for wide width ,at least like the regular width seems to have more choices. I'm going to give it another try with Clifton 10, if it's about the same as the Clifton 9, I'll go back to Bondi which is by far the best for my feet.
Good shoes, but would've waited for the 10's

The shoes are comfortable though still a slight discomfort in the right lateral foot as I settle into them. For what it's worth, I took them out of the box and wore them on a 2 week UK trip walking several hours each day and they were a life saver. One frustration and the reason for the 4/5 - a week after I purchased these the 10's were released and I would've waited if there was some notice the 10's were coming imminently. I had to take the 9's in the 1 color with a wide in my size. All in all, the shoes do what they're intended to do very well but it seems outdated to not have a way to notify a customer that an impending product drop is coming.

I believe that this is my husband's 5th pair of Hokas. He says they're comfortable, they fit well & they give him good support. He wore them for the 1st time today & he got a lot of compliments on them! Of course the bright orange color does stand out. The price was sure good & so long as they work for his feet, that's good for me!
Surprised that they are better the faster you run

So I have enough room in my basement to jog when I can't get out. I can't get up much speed, but it works to keep me moving. I tried these inside in case they did not work for me and in 3 days I was not feeling good about it. I then went to a community gym with an indoor track where I could get up to speed. Pun intended. And these worked great for 3 miles. I will keep them, first actual running shoes from Hoka, but have a few walking shoes I wear to work. I also have amazingly flat feet, so I have to have an insert for pronation. These have VERY LITTLE support, but the next running shoes get will have to be more supportive.
Love-Hoka's

Absolutely love them. Lightweight and comfortable. I wear a 10 wide and the fit is perfect. I am sold and I have already placed an order for a second pair. Now I truly understand what all the buzz was about with these shoes.

A random Internet ad piqued my interest. The shows are very comfortable, supportive, and light, Providing all the benefits I could have asked for. The Wide sizes sealed the deal.
Most comfortable shoes ever.
