Helped me run again

ChemMasta G 3 months ago Verified Purchase

I ran in Nike Pegasus for 25+ years until old injuries to my foot resurfaced and I had to quit running for a couple of years. The only shoes that have allowed me to run again are Hoka Cliftons. The cushioning and tread wear are excellent. I’ll be wearing them even after I stop running if that ever happens again

Great on trails and roads

mar 3 months ago Verified Purchase

I bought this shoe once in 9th grade and again this year in 10th. Both years I have run over 500 miles on them and they are extremely durable. I ran on trails and roads and they held up nice. Once you get about 75-100 miles on them the foam started to flatten so it was harder to run on the roads but running on trails is nice. I run about 8 miles a day and they don't give me blisters or pains. They last about 400-450 miles depending on how fast you run and how your foot lands. If you heel strike possibly closer to 400 miles but if you land midfoot you could get upwards of 450 miles. I'm growing out of these ones but they could still last another hundred or so miles. I recommend this for runners of all abilities.

Great shoes.

My husband loves them. He needs shoes that are soft inside.

A good iteration of the Clifton series

I like these more than the Clifton 8's but I don't know why.

So happy I went to Fleet Feet in Poughkeepsie amazing staff and assistance. They helped me find the Hoka Clifton 9 shoes and they have been incredible! Tremendous cushioning and stability!

An Outstanding Shoe

bugsman 4 months ago Verified Purchase

These were a gift for my grandson. He loves them. He wanted them for work because he is on his feet mostly. Said on the first day he wore them they were supremely comfortable and his feet did feel tired.

Great Shoes Great Folks

Final review still pending but no too happy so far

Teyo 4 months ago Verified Purchase

The shoe looks nice but still pending on my final review. Typically all the Hoka shoes models I have owned (which are many) have fit & felt really well since day one these Clifton 9's have not. Once I put themm on (ordered online) I felt a lot of pressure on my arch. I have owned them for one month already and have run & walked over sixty miles in them and they still don't really comfortable on my arch. The first 20 miles were brutal but slowly getting better during what I am considering the breakin process which typically didn't exist with my other Hokas. Just purchased the Hoka Mach X which fit really well with no pressure on my arch. Wil be running in them tomorrow to see the difference.

Best Clifton yet.

Brad 4 months ago Verified Purchase

The Clifton 9 is very comfortable and stable. I would recommend buying these.

Great running shoe!

Gavin 4 months ago Verified Purchase

This is my second pair of Clifton 9’s. I just love the shoe. Supportive light enough and keep my feet from getting sore. Again it’s a great running shoe.

Remove Achilles sleeve please

Mike J 4 months ago Verified Purchase

They were comfortable however I decided I actually didn't like the look of the Achilles sleeve or whatever it's called on the back of the shoe and returned them.

Hoka Clifton Series

Woody 5 months ago Verified Purchase

My family swears by the Hoka Clifton 9!! Purchased 7 pairs for all my family members for Christmas!!! Loved the Clifton 8 and I found it on sale directly from Hoka so purchased 3 more pairs! Wouldn't wear any other sneaker. The Clifton series has helped aid with my son's and my pain tremendously! Highly reccomend!!!(On a side note-I should be awarded commission due to all the family members that wear them and most of my friends and neighbors!!! Hahaha)

Best suited ever

Todd 5 months ago Verified Purchase

These are the best most comfortable running shoes that I've ever owned. Would definitely and have recommended them to others.

You had me at the color

Great shoes

Dave 5 months ago Verified Purchase

Great knowledgeable staff My new shoes fit great and i have no more foot pain.

Tight in the toes

Hotwood C 5 months ago Verified Purchase

I like them except they are to tight on my toes. I am 78 and have bad feet so I must have supportand comfort. The only shoe that has worked for me so far are the NB made in the U.S. which have limited styles available and cost $200.00 +. I am hoping to stretch my Hoka's so I can use them. It is possible I should have ordered a size 10.5 instead of a 10.

Hesitant

Austin Z 5 months ago Verified Purchase

I was hesitant to buy HOKAs but I really enjoy them for standing on the train and walking. Very conforable. I wish i would have purchased sooner but they are kind of expensive. I haven't tried running in them yet.

Attention To Details?

CM 5 months ago Verified Purchase

Shoes are great! However the shoes came with shoe laces that were two different lengths. One shoe lace was too short to securely tie the shoe on to my foot. I have since ordered the proper sized shoe laces( a week ago ) but I have not heard anything back from anyone.

Better than Hoka Clifton 8

A 5 months ago Verified Purchase

More cushion than last version which helps with comfort on the longer runs. Other reviews say its narrow but I did not notice an issue.

ZzzXxx 6 months ago Verified Purchase

Serious neuropathy issues with my feet. These are the best shoes I’ve ever had.

Easy runs

Kyle 6 months ago Verified Purchase

Bought these for my everyday/easy runs. They are perfect for that. I would not want to push the pace in these. My right knee will sometime give me trouble if I do my easy runs in a shoe with any kind of plate. These have left my knee and legs feeling great after easy runs.

Comfortable shoes

Clifton 9 are keepers!

Todd 6 months ago Verified Purchase

These are my first pair of Clifton 9 Hokas. I have been wearing ASICS for years but reviewers said these help w/plantar fasciitis. They’re right they’re comfortable & already alleviating some of my discomfort.

Simply The Best

Love these shoes. Period. Lightweight comfortable.

Definitely 👍🏼

Awade 6 months ago Verified Purchase

Been running in these for about a month. Great fitting shoes. Very plush and comfy but also stable underfoot. I’m 5’10 185 lbs. I also wear them as my everyday shoes.

Really wanted them to work

Bacon76 6 months ago Verified Purchase

Went thru 3 different sizes and arch won’t line up. I can tell they are nice and comfy but just feel pressure pushing into arch. I have high arches but the support is in the wrong place. I really really wanted these to work but unfortunately has to return again and again. This wasn’t even from running just wearing for an hour around the house.

Worth every penny!

David 6 months ago Verified Purchase

Definitely one of the best pair of running shoes I have owned!

Just not right

Ken F 6 months ago Verified Purchase

These were recommended by salespeople based on analysis of my foot and told they were right for me. I left on a trip to Italy two days later and took them with me but did not put them on til I got there. I wore them mostly I dog or abou two hours and they were painful. I had to remove them. Tried again the next day and only lasted one hour. I plan to exchange them next week.

Super comfort cloud walking

Ed 6 months ago Verified Purchase

The shoe is definitely nice on my heals. I have no foot pain after a long walk or just using all day. It is the most comfortable shoe I have owned to date.

The Perfect Shoe

Milo50 7 months ago Verified Purchase

I bought the Hoka Clifton 9s in Mid June. I was training for the Chicago Marathon. My running shoe prior was the brooks adrenaline gts 22. These were night and day different. I knew I had a lot of miles to log still before the Marathon and didn't know if they would hold up. I bought a pair of New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v12 in August. I wanted a second pair to roate in. The New Balance was okay but no where near as great at the Clifton 9s. I honestly thought I would be buying the new balance as my race day shoes because they would have more life than the Hookas. I decided to trust the mileage I had on my hookas and ran with them for the marathon. They were perfect. Over 300 miles logged in Clifton 9s and I have experienced no joint pain while wearing these shoes.

Everyday trainer

JR 7 months ago Verified Purchase

Great energy return for big guy like me. 6’ 6 225 lbs. moved from Arahi after losing 80 lbs and love these. I was only getting 250 miles out of the Arahi 6’s and I’m still going strong at 250 on my Clifton’s at 30 miles per week.

The white looks clean

Clifton 9

Blazerdane 9 months ago Verified Purchase

This is the only shoe that I wear. The comfort is amazing and I wear it for church or working out in the gym.

So far so good

Mike K 9 months ago Verified Purchase

So far so good getting used to the new stack height compared to my Clifton 8’s. Ran a 5k distance so far. Hope they are just as good as my 8’s.

Great shoe

Dpen 9 months ago Verified Purchase

Originally bought in a 6 wide and was a little too snug for me (I wear 6 wide usually) but the 6.5 was great! Doesn't have a prominent arch like the Bondi and doesn't cause blisters.

Arch support

MICHAEL S 1 year ago Verified Purchase

Seams to be a nice shoe. lives up to the hype as far as comfort goes the only thing for me is I do t feel it offers enough arch support. Maybe i should have went with a different shoe. The others I tried seemed to have too much elevation but maybe they would of offered the support I feel like I need.

Outstanding shape!

Bravo 1 year ago Verified Purchase

This is the most comfortable Hoka shoe that I have worn to date. I’m hoping they hold up as well as my last pair.

Hoka

Charlie 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I came into the fleet feet store and had a fantastic experience. The sales guy was very knowledgeable and helpful. I purchased a pair of Hoka Cliftons. I was so happy with them I went online and bought another pair. The store didn’t have a lot of colors. Really happy with the shoes and the store.

Great service

C. C 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I went into Fleet Feet looking for a pair of shoes. The service exceptional. The shoes I was looking at were not available in my size. By trying on a pair that a size smaller than what I wear I determined it was the style I wanted. The shoes were ordered for me and shipped to my house. I’ve ordered shoes online before but there is no comparison to the service and knowledge that is available at Fleet Feet. The price was the same as online so there is no downside to buying your next pair of shoes at Fleet Feet but there is a whole lot of upside.

Love These Shoes!

Kent T 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I bought these shoes which were recommended by a fellow gym-goer. They are the most comfortable work-out shoes I've ever had--great for walking treadmill stair master and running. I plan to get an additional pair soon so I can alternate the wear.

Great for long road runs. Good fit.

Like Clifton 9 better than the 8

Peter S 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I like Hoka Cliftons - I've had all the Cliftons starting at 4. I'm a senior who walks a lot and I like a lot of support/cushioning. I feel the new Clifton 9 has a little more room mid-foot than the 8 - overall more comfortable.I track shoe wear and I got about 350 miles out of my 8s - I hope I get as much out of these 9s.I will probably buy a 2nd pair soon to split up the wear.

Great shoe right out of the box with the stock insole. Defiantly more firm then the Clifton 8. But a solid improvement in my opinion.
