I have owned Hoka for years, and many Clifton Models though I did skip the 9. I did try them on in store but didn't love the colors. Bought these in all black and they were delivered super fast- thank you REI! I am always a 7 in Hoka, but I found the new Clifton's to run smaller than the previous versions, even the 9's which I tried on in store and 7's fit perfectly. For reference, I am a EU 37.5, wear a 38 in Birkenstock, and used the sizing chart on REI for the Clifton 10 which states size 7 = 38.6. That is WRONG, The Hoka Box shows a women's size 7 is a EU 38, which runs much smaller than the Clifton 9. They are undoubtably extremely comfy, just run smaller than previous Clifton's length wise. Exchanging for 7.5. Hope REI and Hoka can correct the sizing on the site.
I have always loved the Hoka Clifton . I have run many of my marathons in them , especially Boston . I ran Sydney in them and then traveled all about in their comfort before and after races . O have to say though , the 10 is impressive. I am working through a hamstring tear , and they are like putting on slippers , from the first moment I put them on .
I’ve worn Cliftons for years and was hopeful about the 10, but this update doesn’t work for my needs. The change in geometry altered my stride, and after a few wears I started feeling it in my hips. My feet also moved around more — the laces didn’t lock in like they used to. Most surprisingly, the shoe seemed to shift my weight inward, putting pressure on my arches. The cushion is still solid, but the fit and feel just aren’t right for me anymore. I’ll need to find a new brand that better supports my stride.
After a full year of constantly ordering and returning shoes hoka finally did well . Clifton 10’s are absolutely amazing!!! Best shoes ever , toe box is rounded and perfect , no need to get a wide and shoes don’t look like clown shoes anymore . Pls don’t change , Clifton 9’s were absolute garbage . I’m so happy with my shoes. Order now ! Don’t hesitate
These are pillowy soft and yet supportive in all of the right ways. They were purchased for my mother. She exclaimed that she never knew shoes could be this comfortable! They are attractive (without looking like support shoes). Aesthetically, they are perfect for most outfits. They hit all of the marks.
I love hoka. I use the BONDI SR for nursing school and I will never wear another shoe! I got these for walking to class and the gym and I highly recommend!
I absolutely LOVE these shoes. They fit perfect, and, by FAR are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned!
I bought these to replace my Clifton 9, which I absolutely loved. When I got these I tried them on and thought they felt a little tight, but just assumed that it was that new shoe stiffness. I wish I would have returned them, they are so tight and uncomfortable. It’s rhetorical opposite of the experience of wearing the 9s. Wasted 150 on a shoe I hate to wear.
I bought these shoes recently and am super happy with them. They're so comfortable and offer a good amount of support.
Bough these shoes to get ready for clinical and they were so great I had to buy another pair for my job it helps with my knees and back because I’m standing a lot
