I've had these for quite some time now. The upper is very comfortable and the sole highly cushioned. However I find that running in them is like running in quicksand. I tend to end up with sore legs after runs as they require so much effort to get moving. As stated earlier, they are highly cushioned but it's a squishy cushioning with little to zero responsiveness. I bought these initially because I have a compressed nerve in my back and I wanted something to absorb impact. In that way they were probably good for me and it's why I haven't scored them lower than 3, but I've moved onto other far superior shoes now that also absorb impact, but also allow me to move, which is fairly important for running.They would probably be suitable walking shoes for some, but I'm ...

I have never used Hokas before, but I went to a running shop and after being evaluated (achilles tendinitis on my left foot), they gave me the Clifton 8s as an option. They were a lot cushier than my previous shoes, so I decided to give them a go to see if something different helped reduce my achilles pain. 2 days of walking and a very light jog, and my right knee and right achilles started hurting, both of which I've never had a problem with previously. My left achilles was in excruciating pain. These shoes are very unstable, particularly in the heel area, so your foot ends up flopping around too much. I regret purchasing these.

Great fit for me. Super light weight and very comfortable. Really like the colour.I tried on in store however the colour I was after wasn’t available in my size so I purchased online.Great customer service in store and very easy to order online and extremely fast delivery. Was pleased as soon as I opened the box. Have been out running a few times in them now for anywhere between 4 and 14km. My feet feel great in them, supported and no niggles or tight spots in the shoe. No sore feet on return.

Shoes had plenty of cushion, but lacked sufficient arch support. Previously had been running in Brooks Ghost and wanted to give the Clifton’s a chance based on their reputation of being a great cushioned shoe. Unfortunately, they were not a great fit for my feet as I developed pain and a blister on my left arch after my first run in them.While the shoes didn’t make the cut, the staff at Pacers were amazing. They readily exchanged my Clifton’s for a pair of Brooks Ghosts. I will be back for my next pair of Ghosts!
This is my 4th pair of Hoka Cliftons, and my 2nd pair of Clifton 8s so I am obviously a fan of this shoe. I was thinking of making a change , but after trying on a few other models of different brands I decided to stick with the Clifton because it was the most comfortable and seemed right for my foot. I have fairly severe pronation and wear orthotics, so I remove the insole and replace with an orthotic I also have chronic Runner's Knee and so far the Cliftons have allowed me to continue running 30+ kms a week. I need a shoe with high level cushioning but prefer not to sacrifice lightness, and the Clifton delivers on both counts. The fit is absolutely perfect and the shoe needs no breaking to or getting used to. My only wish is that the soles were more durable. I ...

I don't think most people understand these shoes. Run it in a road race? No, too heavy. Trail racing? Nah, still too heavy. Mountain climbing? Also no. However, where these shoes shine nothing compares. Flying down a trail like a madman? Yep, these are the absolute gold standard. I'm a fast twitch monster and these are the shoes that are closest to track spikes. I've completely obliterated downhill trail records in these on my phone app and I'm less than a year from 40. The shoes mount you on a platform that offers tremendous support. Tons of cushioning allows you to plow through rocks and what not. Be careful with these, I can run faster than I could have ever imagined downhill and it has caused some limited muscle strains based on how fast I'm moving. You'll most ...

Be careful with these, I can run faster than I could have ever imagined downhill and it has caused some limited muscle strains based on how fast I'm moving. You'll most likely adapt. Same holds true for the heels of my feet, I can't move this fast in any other shoe and the impact pressure based on the speed I'm moving wears away at my heels. Currently on my 3rd pair in 6 months, I rip through these but they're really fun. I'm size 10.5 and a 10 is a perfect fit.
I bought these maybe 4 months ago. They were a great fit, comfy, and a wonderful style- I was thrilled to purchase these! Right away when I started wearing them for walking periods longer than 1 mine consecutive, I noticed blisters forming on my toe on my left foot. The blisters continued but eventually became a hard callus. They started forming on my right foot also. I have never experienced this with any other shoe and for the hype of these and the price of these I would expect more. I quit wearing them for my walks and my blisters disappeared/healed. Today I wore them again for my 6 mile WALK and lo and behold… now not only did I get a blister but I got a blood blister!!!! I should have never given these shoes another chance and returned them within the 30 day ... MoreI bought these maybe 4 months ago.

Thankyou that they are wider than the original ones I first tried on in the store and was so disappointed they fit tight as I loved the colour and that they were on sale. After taking them back saying to the salesclerk it’s my feet being too wide, she didn’t really say anything other than it’s ok to return them and I kept saying I’d really like a pair- maybe it’s the shoe defect on the one shoe feeling a bulge so maybe try on another pair of the same.It was only when I said well I guess my feet are too wide for them and then she finally said there’s a wider one but that you’d have to order it yourself online but if it doesn’t fit and you’d only get a credit if bring it back ( didn’t say if I returned it myself I’d get a cash refund how I paid) .

Well, Thankyou for finally telling me that there is a wider pair. I discovered the online return policy myself that I could return them myself for full refund. So I decided to order. I’ve never ordered online before so it was important to be allowed a refund but they came and they fit perfectly! I am so pleased. I love them.
I went looking for a good walking/running shoe, and of course went to Scheels because of their amazing return policy. The salesman had me try a pair of Hoka Clifton 8's. I had never even heard of Hoka's. He said they were super cushioned and very popular. Honestly, as I wore them in the store I wasn't impressed. I'm one of those people who miss a smaller profile shoe, without super large thick soles that extend past the length of the shoe. After trying on lots of other shoes and not liking any of them, I decided to go with the Hoka's. Normally I have to buy a half a size larger with walking/running shoes, but Hoka's are larger and I ended up buying my true size and having plenty of room. I wore them the next day and once I was walking outside, they were the most ...

I wore them the next day and once I was walking outside, they were the most comfortable, cushioned shoe I had ever worn, truly amazing. I absolutely hated the color I had bought, so I exchanged them for the navy blue pair, which are super cute, unlike almost all other running shoes. This 2nd pair almost made me quit Hoka's cold turkey. When I started walking in them the next day, the right shoe felt tight right away and started giving me a blister on the inside of my arch after only a mile. It felt like the left side of my right foot was rubbing on the seam. The 1st pair had fit perfectly. When I got home and took off the shoes my right foot was severely swollen. The right shoe was definitely smaller than the left. I was so scared to buy another pair that I tried on other Hoka's, and other brands, but nothing felt like that 1sr pair of Clinton's. I was ready to give up, but I finally decided to try a 3rd pair of Clinton's and hope for the best. When I got the 3rd pair it was perfect, just like the 1st pair. The bad pair was just a fluke, and had nothing to do with buying the wrong model or brand of shoe. I absolutely LOVE my Clifton 8's and I am relieved that things worked out. Thanks to Scheels for having patience with me through this process, and helping me find my new favorite pair of shoes. I literally want to wear them all the time.
I did SO much research on some new athletic shoes and finally decided to try Hoka. I have plantar fasciitis so I really wanted something to help with that relief and I sought out what I thought would be the most comfortable shoe possible. I slipped these on and could immediately feel the difference in quality compared to the more familiar brands that I usually went with. The cushion on these is insane and I'm already feeling more relief from my plantar. I was hesitant on size, so I did get half a size smaller, but I could've gotten my regular size. They are slightly snug, so I would recommend just getting your normal size. But overall I'm very happy with this purchase and anticipate that these will last a long time.
