I ordered four pairs of Cliftons since I've worn them for years. So far, this is the only pair I plan to keep. After rehabbing from ankle surgery last year, I'm finally able to wear shoes again and can walk normally. I absolutely LOVE this shoe! It's wide enough for my feet and has a nice big toe box in addition to having a normal tongue that is not tethered to the base of the shoe. I'm finding that the shoes that have the tongue tethered to the base of the shoe by a stretchy mesh is too tight around the middle of my foot and causes pain after a couple of hours of wearing. I hope you'll continue to make shoes that are not tongue-tied!

These shoes are a game changer. Having always been an avid walker, I have had one hip replacement and need another in order to get moving the distances I desire. My physical therapist recommended these to help me through the reconditioning phase as I prepare for my next surgery and for my future needs. They have made a huge difference in my comfort level and ability to walk longer distances with much less pain. I highly recommend them for these purposes and also to help prevent wear and tear on joints if you are young and healthy. I am a fan for life!

I wear wide sized shoes. I loved the style of these shoes so I thought I would try a pair even though it didn't come in wide. Unfortunately they didn't fit my wide feet and I had to return them. I wish Hoka had more wide options. I'd buy several more pairs.

I purchased a suede variety of shoe. I took a risk knowing that it didn't come in a wide size option. The risk failed. The only negative comment I would make about this product is we need more wide size options available.

I have to wear Hokas everywhere and these all black suede Clifton's can be dressed up or down. With black pants, they blend in and don't look like a sneaker. Sine these are in All Gender sizes I was told to size down, however, that was incorrect and I had to return for a larger size. They run "true to size" for me. The shipping was great on both the purchases and the return. I received the shoes in just a few days and my return was processed immediately. I now usually just purchase my shoes directly from Hoka due to the excellent service and I know that I'm getting authentic merchandise. Thank you Hoka!

The major problem I found with the sneaker is that the heel tips up a bit - if you place it on a hard surface and look - it does Not touch the ground which explains why when standing up straight I keep feeling unsteady and tipping backwards - which also bothered my knees. I looked at all my other sneakers and none of them have this problem - thus I am returning them. The other problem I have is that I need more internal height - but Only in the toe box by the pinkie toe - not everyone will have that problem is my guess - but the first problem needs to be fixed. Really like the seude, and would love an all leather sneaker like this - with the fixes mentioned above.

I stand on concrete at work, and have pelvic pain/instability. I wanted shoes that were supportive and cushioned, while also working with regular clothes (not super sporty). hokas seem to all be super wide... these included. I mean the outside! if chunky shoes weren't in style this would be a hard sell for me, but my feet have been very happy. had to move my seat back in the car because my foot was too close with all that cush. I'm usually an 8.5 in running shoes and true for these as well (I wear an 8 in street shoes). i like neutrals but this all tan suede does look a bit "orthotic-y". would love a bold solid color in suede - kelly green or orangey red.

In order to keep active, my shoes need to provide good arch support and enough cushioning. My Hoka's do both. This is my first pair of the Clifton suede and is a bit nicer for winter wear.

super happy with it and how comfortable it is. got it more to have Clifton that are more "stylish" and was told they aren't for too much walking but I use it for work and I walk a lot at work and go up and down stairs and loving every min in those shoes. I rotate between these and the regular Clifton 9. Please keep creating more plain black stylish Clifton for us

The size and fit of Hokas is always very good. I have had nerve problems in both legs, especially in the left one. These shoes help tremendously with their superior cushioning, alowing my foot to rotate through the walking cycle. if there was one thing that I would change, it would be the light color. I would like to see them in a darker grey, but that is just being picky.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, New Balance, Asics

I am a city high school teacher. Amazing shoes. The kids even compliment me, but also don't want them for themselves which is the perfect combo. They totally have a granny look to them which I like rocking a little ironically. After standing all day I feel amazing. I will always have a pair of these. I love the monochrome too.

The Clifton L Suede is a great version of the nylon mesh Hoka Clifton. I wear the Cliftons from spring to fall, but I wanted to get something that was warmer for the winter. This version is perfect for the cooler weather. I think it would be too warm for hot weather. It is a little bit heavier than a mesh Clifton, but that is to be expected as it is made of leather. The shoe is comfortable and true to size. The Clifton also works well with an orthotic insert, which is another reason I wear them.
I'd also recommend:
Ecco makes very well made shoes.

Most comfortable everyday shoes I have ever owned. They look a little orthopedic, but I don’t even care. I slip in my custom orthotics and my feet are totally happy.

These shoes are the most comfortable, supportive, fashionable shoes, I've ever found. Orthopedic shoes for those of us that are older are hard to find. But these fit the bill.

I have BONDI's and Solimar's that I love. Was looking for a walking shoe so I thought I would try these. Not sure if it is the generic sizing of the shoe but definitely not as comfortable as the others.
