Hoka skyflow
Awesome shoe. Great for someone with wide feet and low arches.
Star Rating is 3 / 5
Wides are too narrow.
These wide width Hokas are not wide like my Bondi 8’s. I wore them on a bus trip yesterday. We did not even walk very much and my feet were killing me at the end of the day. They are beautiful looking shoes and very light but just not that comfortable. I have not yet tried the Bondi 9’s. I will have to read reviews on those to see if they actually are wides.
Star Rating is 5 / 5
Very comfortable and fit great
I wear them a lot all day as they have the arch support I needed

Hoka Skyflow
Perfect. Fit just like my Clifton 9's. I tried the Clifton 10 but much too high. So glad I read all the reviews for the Hoka Skyflow.

I have been wearing Clifton Hoka for years and years, but switched because I feel like this is a little bit more cushiony.
