Mid range run
I have worn multiple styles of Hoka and I would rate these somewhere in the middle. I prefer the overall cushion of the Clifton as these have good heel support but very little cushion in the ball of the foot area. If you are looking for more heel support, these are great but not the best for the way I run/walk. They are very cute and I get lots of compliments on them but I would recommend more for daily wear than for runs personally.
Yes , I recommend this product

Hurts! Disappointed! Poor quality!
The top back of the shoe hurts the achilles badly. I could not even take one step without pain. I had to return. I own a few types of Hoka One shoes that I love. Extremely disappointed in this pair. I wish the company would be consistent with quality, but they are not. You cannot trust just because a shoe is a Hoka One that you will be able to wear it without pain.

Bought it twice
Yes , I recommend this product
This is my 6th pair of Hokas. This is the second time I have purchased this exact shoe. I have worn them for road and treadmill and they are holding up as well as if not better than the two pair of Clifftons. I have over 500 running miles in them and they continue to be comfortable for every day wear and the occasional "I don't want to wreck my new pair of shoes" moments when it's rainy/muddy. They seem a bit narrower than the Clifftons or Bondis, so if you typically need a wide with other brands, these might not be for you.

Not the Hoya for me
No, I do not recommend this product
I don’t ever remembering returning a pair of Hoka shoes. I love this brand! After wearing them for just over a week my feet hurt so much I am returning them. They were not stable enough for me. But I love Hoka shoes so much I just ordered another style…Stinson ATR 6 Trail shoes. Can’t wait to try them!

Good race shoe
Yes , I recommend this product
I train for half and full marathons in Hoka Cliftons but wanted a more responsive shoe for races. This shoe definitely does as advertised without compromising the cushioning. Didn’t think it would make a difference but it does. I do have a slim foot and the shoe box just fits with lots of room
