I just recently began trying to get back into shape after being a couch potato for a while. I'd been running in some Adidas shoes but they were really irritating my feet. My dad has had multiple pairs of Hokas and my mom (who is super specific about her shoes) got a pair and absolutely loved them. I decided to try them out and can say that I'm so happy I did. The cushyness is unreal and kinda feels like I'm running on clouds. I tore my ACL 6 years back in a high school game and my knee has never been the same. These shoes help for a softer landing and releviate a lot of knee pain that I was feeling before. I've used Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and Asics and these have by far been my favorite. I've been running in them for a few months now and can already say I'll be a lifelong buyer!

I tried these on at an athletic shoe store that even had a fancy measuring system. They first recommend an 8!! I said "no way"...I am a 6.5-7. The ones I tried on in the store just were not that comfortable for all I had hear and read. But my achey feet were crying out to get them so I ordered them in size 7. Wore them around house a few hours, and they seemed way too wide and the comfort was just not there. SO...I traded them for a 6.5 and they are wonderful, awesome, everything I have heard about them seems true!! I wear them for Jazzercise and it has made a world of difference in a very short time.

I really liked the shoe for me. I have Hoka’s in 9 and 9.5(sometimes feels to big) depending on if I am running or just wearing around. I feel like these come in at a 9.25 which works for me. Purchased the black and I like them.

I ordered three different styles of Hokas after ready many positive reviews. I ordered this one and two different styles of the Hupana. I knew the Hupanas would not be as cushy as the Clifton but didn't realize there would be such a huge difference! I have problem feet - high arches, hammer toes and have had several bouts of plantar fasciitis. I have to be very careful about the shoes I wear. This particular style is wonderful if you have problem feet. Couldn't believe how great they felt when I first put them on! There not as stylish as the Hupanas, but my feet are happy so that's all I care about.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Brooks, Taryn Rose

This was my first time buying hokas. Some of my nursing friends bragged about them and I'm glad I listened absolutely love them! I have really high arches and these shoes are great for them

This pair of shoes is my 5th or sixth pair of Hokas! I go to seven Jazzercise classes a week, and Hokas have changed my workout routine. I am a 10B, and the shoes fit me perfectly, and literally add a spring to my step. I used to suffer from stress fractures; no more injuries with these shoes. I am a photographer, and the hiking Hokas are also my absolute favorites. This review isn’t hyperbole at all.

These are truly the best pair of running shoes I’ve ever owned! My second pair of these and I honestly can’t imagine ever buying another running shoe!

I run half marathons, recently started training for full. I have tried many brands. I was currently using Nike peagus and brooks which I thought were great. Until I tried these, as soon as I tried them on I knew I'd never use another shoe again. Are perfect for all my short, long distance runs. I love them and will not be using anything else.

I bought these shoes because I have hallux rigidus (degenerative arthritis) in my big toe joint. I can wear the new Clifton 5 and be on my feet all day long and they are very comfortable!

I like the feel. The knit heel doesn't bother me at all. I would describe my foot as normal heel, normal width foot. I have very high arches. I have worn several versions of the Cliftons and these have the best arch support of any of the models I've tried. Usually I wear Vionic inserts in my running shoes but that was overkill with these Cliftons. I took them on an 8 mile run today with the inserts they came with and they felt great! I do the heel-lock tying method and I wear feetures socks and nothing rubbed or hurt. They may be a little "hot" but its also in the high 80s and extremely muggy today so I think anything would feel hot! I like them. I think if you have a very narrow heel you may not and you may prefer the regular Cliftons!

I am trying out a pair of Bondi 6 instead of the Cliftons...this is my first pair of Hoka One One shoes and I wanted the most cushioned shoe for road running and treadmill training...so I ordered size 8 & size 8 1/2...they should get here tomorrow...I hope one of them works so I can start my winter running/training!

This version of the Clifton with the "sock-liner fit" fits a little too big for me. I would've been better getting a half-size smaller than what I usually get in the Clifton. Shoe is good overall though. Tongue is much better than my last pair as well.

This shoe runs half a size to a full size larger your regular shoe size. I am usually a size 7.5 and I got a size 7. Just take that in mind if you are buying these and consider trying a half and a whole size. My heel was slipping out a little at first but I pulled the laces tighter and that took care of it. The arch support on this is so prominent that is borderline painful. Getting a "wide" width would probably help with that but it is not available in the Clinton 5 knit. This shoe seems to run a bit on the narrow side too. All that being said it's so cushiony and comfortable. Taking the inner sole out help with the super prominent arch support problem. I will likely get some new soles in there. These shoes are fabulous and with some tweaks and playing around to figure out sizing, I'm definitely keeping them!

I like the shoe but I liked the fit of Clifton 4 better, the difference in the back of the shoe feels more secure on Clifton 4.

I had difficulty with this shoe because of the knit upper. It did not hug my heel well enough and would slide up and down. I tried a 1/2 size smaller and it did not help the issue with the heel slide. Will wait for the regular style to be back in stock.
