I've been wearing Cliftons for the past 7 years. I've loved them. I'm on my feet at work and Cliftons have been fantastic for my foot pain. Unfortunately, after the redesign, the Clifton 9s have a longer tongue that goes up my ankle and hits my ankle bone. It's uncomfortable. I'm going to try and find some Clifton 8s for now and hope they go back to the shorter tongue on the next design. If not, I guess I'll have to start looking for a new shoe. I've tried for a couple days to upload a picture to show the difference in the length of the tongue with the Clifton 9 on the left and the Clifton 8 on the right but am not having any luck. Hopefully this helps others figure out why they are having pain with their beloved Hokas. They aren't the same as before.

I am a devoted Hoka fan. The Clifton is always my go-to shoe for support and comfort. After almost dying in a near fatal car accident on 12/24/2009, and 16 surgeries in 13 years, I was directed by my orthopedic foot/ankle surgeon to wear Hokas. This specific model, the Clifton 9, is superb. The colors are awesome, the support in the heel is unbelievable, the arch support for someone with a high arch (me), and the ample toe box room can’t be beat! These are amazing shoes!! I bought the pink and am so pleased. Thank you Hoka for saving my life. It’s taken me 13 years to find the right shoes after going through 8 foot surgeries. These are all I can wear.

I am baffled as to why Hoka would change the fundamental profile of the Clifton. I have been wearing Cliftons exclusivelyfor years, becausethe combo of "Neutral" and "Balanced" works perfectly for me (and probably many of its fans). Now, the cushioning is "Plush". If I wanted a plush shoe, I would buy the Bondi. In fact, the Clifton 9 feels more like the Bondi in otherways. It is generallychunkier in appearance. In addition, the sole feels more rigid; while the 8 has more give and allows a more natural foot motion through each step, the 9 has a stiffer rocker. Hoka, Clifton devotees love the Clifton for the features that make it differentfrom the Bondi. A couple of general comments:while my pinkie toes will gladly take all the room that they can get, the extra volume in the toe box of the 9 does not translate to more room for my pinkies. The extra room is vertical, so there is a pointless andungainly pocket of air above my toes and forefoot. On the plus side: the stiff and aggravating band in the heel counter of the 8 is not in the 9 (phew!).

I am SO SAD. I LOVE Hokas and have been wearing the Cliftons for years. Ordered a pair of Clifton 9s for an upcoming trip and couldn't wait for them to arrive. Wow was I disappointed! They look great, but the fit is definitely not great. I could feel my toes hitting on the end, despite ordering the same size as what I'm currently wearing in my Clifton 8s. Not sure what or why Hoka did to an otherwise perfect shoe but please hit undo and go back to the far superior Clifton 8 model. These are headed back to Hoka tomorrow.

To compare the Clifton 8 to the 9, these new 9's are a little bit wider in the toe box a tiny bit longer. Much more cushy in the heel. They feel excellent on my feet (heel spurs, severe toe arthritis). I am not a runner, I'm a walker, and these are perfect for my daily walks and all baking marathons in my kitchen.
