Very comfortable

for running on asphalt, the best thing they have released, over 1000+ without wearing out and without losing their absorbency.

I am thrilled with the Clifron 8 and 9 and wanted a waterproof model for the winter. I read reviews and ratings on several sites and was very cautious about how stiff they are. I tried them and finally bought them because I liked them. They are indeed stiffer than the regular ones, as people write, but not such a big difference, for me, they are still comfortable, for walking which is how I use them, without the cloudy feeling of the regular ones, as for durability over time, that remains to be seen.

Much harder than regular Hoka and tighter..!
The sole underneath wore out in 1 month..
For Hoka quality and for the money I paid, it wasn't worth it.
The waterproofing is good but it loses in all the other aspects that Hoka supports and stands out for.

Hoka forever and dry bread! Worthy of its predecessors and comparable to the Mach, Kaha, and Challenger. Perhaps the best I've ever worn in my life.

Having used them and as an owner of the Hoka Clifton 9, after 4 months, wearing them daily and working as a waiter, I have to say the following:
- 3 weeks after daily use, the sole started to fray from underneath, pieces began to tear off one by one, resulting in me having to cut them so they wouldn't stick out from the shoe, and thus the shoe started to hit harder.
- They get dirty very easily.
- They are not suitable for serving.

I was recommended the Hoka as a "dog" shoe, comfortable and lightweight, but this model proved the opposite, except for the weight part. Nevertheless, I might try to get another model in the future, but definitely avoid the Clifton 9

the worst I've ever worn. I was recommended Hoka as comfortable shoes, but unfortunately, they were terrible. I wore them for about 10 days (because I was told it takes a few days to mold to the shape of the foot) and I destroyed my feet as if I were in the army wearing combat boots. The person who recommended them to me later I learned had bought the same ones and said they were indeed the most uncomfortable and he never wore them. Unfortunately, I might have gotten a bad model, but for the money I spent, I couldn't give them a second chance

It is my third pair of Hoka, first time with Gore-Tex. I had to get a size bigger than usual and I should note that they are not suitable for summer as the foot does not breathe properly due to the Gore-Tex. The cushioning is good and the quality is also good.

Beautiful, comfortable, not the lightest but excellent for fast walking and light running

I also have the regular Clifton 9 (not waterproof), which have a softer sole and are more comfortable. Also, those in size 43 1/3 are more comfortable for me, while these in the same size feel a bit tight on the instep. The size I always wore in other brands is 43.
UPDATE: After a month, the shoes have taken the shape of my foot and no longer feel tight, so they are just as comfortable as the regular Clifton 9 in the same size, they just took longer to break in compared to those.

Very good quality. Choose a larger size compared to what you wear. I wear a 45 EU size but in these shoes, it fits me as a 46 and 2/3

The classic top Clifton in waterproof!
I take one size larger than most shoes.
