Features
The women's HOKA Clifton 9 has the cushion and comfort you crave for long runs, long walks and long hours spent on your feet—all in a sleek and lightweight package.
Confident running starts with finding a shoe with the right balance of support, comfort and performance. The Clifton 9’s unrivaled cushioning and soft step-in feel make it easy to get excited about lacing up your shoes and going for a run.
A tall stack of plush, compression-molded EVA foam turns hard surfaces like concrete and pavement into clouds, while HOKA’s signature early-stage Meta Rocker gives you a smooth and effortless stride.
The Clifton 9’s roomy toe box and padded upper hug your feet in a friendly embrace that will keep you comfortable all-day whether you’re running, walking or working. Plus, the flared heel collar won’t rub or chafe and it comes in multiple widths, so it’s easy to find the perfect fit.
With a comfortable fit right out of the box and responsive cushioning that makes running feel easy, it’s no wonder why so many runners say the Clifton is one of the best running shoes they’ve ever worn.
So grab your pair of HOKA Clifton 9’s and say hello to your new daily running shoe.

What’s New
HOKA made the Clifton 9 faster and lighter to give you the best run possible. The HOKA Clifton 9 now has 3 mm more cushion, yet around the same weight, thanks to its responsive new foam and improved outsole design. HOKA made the heel more cushioned, added a reflective heel panel to help you stay visible and streamlined the tongue for more comfort. The new upper provides a bit more structure and breathes more and they redesigned the heel for a better lockdown fit.
Who It’s Best For
The HOKA Clifton 9 is a great daily trainer for beginners and more experienced runners alike. It is comfortable and bouncy whether you are walking, doing an easy run or standing all day. It is also light enough to pick up the pace for speedwork and tempo runs, so it's a great do-it-all shoe.
Why You’ll Love It
The HOKA Clifton 9 is a legend for a reason—you will love the Clifton’s lightweight, cushioned and bouncy ride and its versatility from walking to running sprints. It's one of the best running shoes for a reason.

Cushion for days
I had a baby about 4 months ago and am just getting back into jogging. These shoes have been fantastic for me as I adjust to running with a weaker core and slower pace than pre-pregnancy. They cushioning and stack height make every step feel like I’m bouncing off a cloud.

Comfortable stable and perfect for easy runs
So comfy and great for long and easy runs. I did not need a break in period. Wore them out the box to Barry’s and then on an outdoor run when I got back home in Minnesota. The Seattle crew was super helpful and energetic.

Amazing
I had trauma to my legs about a year ago and was having a hard time finding shoes that I could wear at work and would not cause my ankles to kill me by the end of the day. I decided to give Hoka a try and I very rarely have pain anymore. My ONLY complaint is that they are extremely slippery if they are wet…..to the point that I’m afraid I’m going to slip and fall otherwise they are fantastic!!

Comfortable but not pretty
My Podiatrist recommended I try this brand. I must admit they are the MOST comfortable athletic shoe I have ever worn. However they are also the ugliest!!
