Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 8

Hey I'm very excited about the Clifton 8 coming out soon! But I was wondering if you could do some more colors such as black and sliver or gold, or even a tan or rose colored shoe.

I liked the shoe, but I consistently wear a size 9, and these were very big in comparison to a typical size 9. I returned them, but that was five days ago, and I have not even gotten a confirmation that I dropped them at the Post Office. I wanted to exchange, but the site didn't give me that option. Overall, dealing with the HOKA site has been a very frustrating experience. I have no idea if I'll actually see a refund, or what hoops I'll have to jump through to get it.

These shoes are not good for flat feet very big arch

I have never tried a Hokas before this but was looking for a new brand after my other favorite brand changed their shoes. While this seemed like a good shoe, it was not for me. First, they are very narrow in the toe box, but wide around the ankles. I have never had a shoe that made my toes fall asleep in the front while slipping off in the back. These shoes also made each step feel like a ton of work...like I was trying to get out of quicksand. The cushion felt good, but not for running....maybe great for walking.

These shoes run very large. They are decently supportive, but I don't find them very comfortable and they have not improved my foot pain as I had hoped.

I tried these shoes with high optimism after hearing such great things from the running community about HOKA as a whole. In my first run out with these, they felt light and comfortable until about 1.15miles. I started to feel the arch of my foot rubbing terribly. By 3.5miles out, I had to cut my long run short and turn around because I was worried if didn't, my foot would be raw and bleeding by my return home. 7 miles with new shoes is not a big deal as my feet are very broken in and run marathons. I'm just overall disappointed because I really wanted to love these shoes! In addition to that, the first delivery of this product in my normal size was outlandishly big. I had to exchange them and size down an entire shoe size.

I am having pain after wearing the for a few hours.

I bought these for work ciuz I stand on concrete all day other than the insole issue they were comfortable, I will be returning them for a different model

Obviously someone wore them before me. There is what looks like a blood drop on the collar of the shoe. Ew. I called customer service to try to get a credit for this, as I do t have time or resources to exchange these shoes in a timely manner. The other 2 pairs look fine, but even at discount of $112, which is NOT INEXPENSIVE, THE SHOES SHOULDNT BE FLAWED. The customer service person dropped the ball and disconnected with me when I would put take a LAME 10%. Shame.

I've had Clifton 8's before. My current shoes are worn out. I ordered the same shoes and the same size, but the shoes I received were too narrow. They were labeled the same size I had before, but they were visibly narrower.

I had heard good things about this shoe brand. As I was going on a trip last year and wanted good walking shoes, I purchased this shoe. I wore the shoes to the airport, and while on vacation. Then I didnt wear it for a several months. When I did wear it, I wore it to the office. That's when I noticed the squeaking. And it's a loud squeaking too. Very embarrassing. Past the period to return it of course. If it wasn't for the squeaking, I would wear it more. Now will only wear it if I will be in a loud place or alone.

They were tight across top of my foot. Disappointed in them

I use them to stand at work very uncomfortable

It was uncomfortable

I am extremely disappointed in the Clifton 8s. I usually buy Brooks for work and everyday wear, but I had heard good things so I decided to try Hokas. When I first began wearing them, I noticed that they squeaked with every step. I thought it would go away as I broke them in, but it did not. I have been wearing them for about five months and they already have holes worn into the fabric. The bottom of the sole has begun peeling up in some places so badly that it almost trips me at times. Overall, compared to the Brooks I have had, which usually last over a year, the Hokas are much worse quality. I would not recommend them and will not be purchasing them again.

This was my 3rd pair of the Clifton and doesn't feel the same as the first two I bought. Very disappointing. It lacks sole support and not as comfortable. In fact under my foot hurts at times. Do you have different grades of the Clifton?

made my feet hurt

This is my third pair, I'm a nurse and I will say these are my least favorite Hoka they feel like I have two different shoes on, like they were made cheaply. Overall not pleased and they are not an inexpensive shoe to feel that way.

They hurt my feet I don't know why I have the same ones in a different color I had bought a few months ago

I unfortunately had to return these shoes. I ordered a Wide, which is what I take. Compared to other styles of Hokas that I own, these shoes aren't even close to being wide. They fit me in the length (8.5) but were uncomfortably snug on the sides. They also didn't have a lot of "cush" when you walk. If your feet are not too much on the wide side, I could recommend them. But they were not for me.

Unfortunately these shows didn't work out for me. The sneaker had a stranger bulky pressure in the arch area that made the sneaker very uncomfortable to wear.

I completely agree with several other reviewers who are disappointed in the changes made to the Bondi wide series. This also applies to the Clifton series. I had read that a podiatrist recommended the Clifton for wide feet. Not the case for me. This is probably the last Hoka shoe I will be purchasing. I have been wearing Bondi series for 7 years but probably no longer. I am constantly on my feet and active. I do love the cushioning of the Hoka brand but the width is no longer suitable for my feet.
