Best shoes I've ever purchased
In short: yes, you should buy these shoes. Yes, they cost more than a lot of other shoes. Yes, they are worth it. Let me explain: I bought these shoes after two pairs of New Balance Fresh Foam running shoes, mostly because I had recently gotten back into more serious, long-distance, everyday run...

Breaking Up With Clifton
I have run hundreds and hundreds of miles in every version of the Hoka Clifton (except the 4s, which c'mon, were ridiculous as Hoka started the Grand Clifton Redesign Project). The Clifton 7 is by far the worst version that has come out. I ran four times in this shoe and disliked it more every outin...

Good basic running shoe
I like this shoe, but it barely has an early-stage rocker at all. It almost feels like a normal shoe ie without a rocker. The rocker was important for me to take some pressure off a toe that continues to give me problems. Shock absorption is great and probably its best quality. I'm always a 9 or 9.5, I went with 9.5 and it fits perfectly.
Comfortable and much better fit
I purchased the Hoka Clifton 8, and went down .5 from my usual size (dress shoe 8, typical running shoe 9.5) and the width fit me much better. The 9.5 was too wide side to side. These are extremely comfortable for my feet!
Clifton is an Awesome shoe
I work out in these shoes and they support my feet. They are comfortable to wear. The orange it bright, but it looks so cute with all my workout outfits.
❤️HOKA
I bought the Clifton I wasn't impressed I just need more stability so I made a easy exchange and got my usual gavioa3! I probably won't venture away from them again! THANK YOU for having the best customer service ever!!!
Amazing support !
My mom has been having ankle swelling/pain. This has given her tremendous support and less pain with walking.
I only wear Hoka s they are perfect for me
I'm on my feet a lot working at golf course they have really helped me
LOVE these shoes!
I have had foot problems most of my life with 2 surgeries on each foot. From the moment that I put them on my feet felt instantly comfortable. I can walk all day without any foot pain whatsoever.
I love my Hokas so much I bought another pair!
My Hokas get loads of walking miles on them and hold up great. On/off for years I have struggled with plantar fasciitis so I was delighted to discover Hoka. I'm never turning back!
I love HOKA. I will buy these shoes over and over again!
I am a nurse. I am on the floor constantly and couldn't make it without these shoes!
No
I found them to be very uncomfortable and even though they are supposed to be wide width, they are still tight on my feet . The side of my left foot sits on the seam and within an hour causes my foot to really hurt. I work in a hospital and tried to wear them 3 different days to have my left foot in terrible pain within an hour.
