As a Mom and constantly sick person these really are unmatched.
I have just ordered a new pair of these and I know there are many comments about durability and you never know what shoe you're getting if it's a bad egg or not I have had such good luck with the Clifton8's and I am so sad that they're getting really hard to find because they now have the Clifton9's, and I don't like the 9's nearly as much as the 8's. I had a septic knee joint two years ago well more like 2 1/2 years ago and was looking for shoes that would be more comfortable because after the infection went away my knee is just not the same and I needed a comfortable pair of shoes. When I tell you the first time I put on my shoes of these, they were so comfortable it felt like walking on a cloud and I'm not joking. I have gone to the zoo with my kids for the whole day, I've gone hiking, and all sorts of different things and my feet do not hurt at all at the end of the night, and if you know, you know that pain at the end of the night when your feet hurt with every step you take is horrible and I have not had that at all with these shoes. I have wore them every single day I kid you not for 2 1/2 years besides, the few times, I would wear my cantaloupe, color, Clifton8's to go with certain outfits so same exact shoe just a different color, but I have used the black shoes with the white accents on it every day and the only reason I need new ones is that the inside by the heel is starting to wear on the fabric and I am very sensitive to it rubbing it doesn't hurt, but I don't like the unevenness as a texture person. It bugs me, but the actual soul of the shoe and on the inside of the shoe on the bottom are still amazing and I still will probably use them around the house, but not for like going and doing things for a whole day that would be a lot of walking on my feet. I hope this review makes sense I am using my phones microphone because as I am making this I am also making dinner for my family, so if you were debating getting these shoes and we're going through the reviews and see so many about them not lasting or something I have had multiple and they are awesome and my first pair have finally worn down to needing a new pair for my own comfort. These shoes are very worth it! Now remember the Clifton8's are getting harder to find with the Clifton9's being the newer version of the Clifton series and they are not the same as the 8's although Hoka would like to tell you that they are new and improved, they do not feel the same but again to each their own. Everyone is different and Hoka has so many different types of shoes for so many different types of feet and what you need to use your shoes for. Just like any other brand, they can always be a bad egg, meaning that most people get pairs that are great and that one pair just doesn't last l as long as other peoples, and in that case I would reach out to Hoka because they're pretty good at customer service. Now I'm not sure about buying it on Amazon and what they would do but it's worth reaching out. I hope that this very long review (sorry) helped somebody and deciding if they want to spend the money on these shoes. As a mom of two young girls 8 years old, and 5 years old, and being a immune compromised person who is sick all the time going in and out of hospitals all the time. I had stage four cancer as a teenager, so that kind of gives you an idea of how often I have to go to the doctors and walk around these hospitals and these shoes are unmatched in my opinion. I hope this helps sorry again for the super long review I didn't want to miss anything because I wish I would've found a review that was down to the nitty-gritty and explained in full context. As for the price of the shoes, I am not someone who has extra money to just throw away on shoes that aren't good so coming from somebody who does not have a ton of money. These are worth it because they do last and you're not going to have to buy new shoes as frequently at least that was for my case. Thank you for reading I hoped you find shoes that will make your feet happy 😂🖤👟
