I’m not a fan of the square toe. They tend to get hung up in the stirrups. That probably has biased me because I also don’t like the way they look.I like square toe boots I had some Rocky's that I loved I also have a pair that are pointy toed and I just can't wear them that and they click on the floor and I can't stand that.

I am a Hoka guy and I don’t like the Bondi either.Hoka Bondi 8 suck. (For me). Only shoe I have that have given me blisters. They're really nice shoes, but I have no use for them. I actually hate them.
Hoka Kawana and Clifton 8 are by far my favorite to run more than 3 miles in. I like the Clifton 8 so much I ordered a pair of the 9's that will be here today. If they're everything I'm expecting, I'll probably stick with them from now on.
The new Monsters I wear for low Aerobic walks and they're great. They're my favorites under 3 miles, and aesthetically.
Happy to get that off my chest and I know you all have been patiently waiting since March for this information.
I got a pair of Clifton 8 in January and they're fantastic. I wear them more than any other pair. I was gonna order another pair Tuesday but I saw a review of the 9 and decided I'd try them. Never know til you try. So, I'm hoping worst case it's just as good as the 8. If so I still got a great shoe I just spent about $30 more than I had too.I am a Hoka guy and I don’t like the Bondi either.
They just don’t fit my feet correctly.
Clifton 8 is my preferred running shoe.
For walking the carbon x is great also but visually it’s awful.I got a pair of Clifton 8 in January and they're fantastic. I wear them more than any other pair.

The ones my dad gave me were to big for my current shoes. I stopped there with the idea. I have very little issue with the Clifton 8 and Kawana. If the 9 are as good or better I'm just gonna stick with them and quit stressing over it.Were you ever able to find an insert etc. that helped your foot pain?
