HOKA Review: Clifton 9 vs. Bondi 8 -- Which is better?

If you suffer from any sort of hip, pelvic or foot pain, you KNOW the importance of an excellent shoe. For me, it was a combination of a few things, including just having our second daughter, which as any mom knows, those kids can surely leave their mark on your body on their way out. 😅
Ultimately, BOTH of these shoes were incredible and I was very tempted to keep both, but given the price point of a top-quality gym shoe, I did not. See both styles up close, how they look on a real human and my honest thoughts on both before purchasing.
SIZE GUIDANCE:
HOKA's website has an awesome brand-to-HOKA comparison chart that you can enter your other brand's size on to get the HOKA size that would make the most sense. I give it a 10/10 because it steered me to the right HOKA size from Brooks on the first try (it's a 1:1 match with Brooks, FYI, I'm a Women's 10.5 in both brands).

Good choice! I went with the 9s as well, LOVE them! Funny part is I needed white shoes for school and I was also torn between these exact same two models and colorways 😂

😂 they’re great choices, great minds think alike!

Hard to see with your picture there

[@ashleyburkblog]

Sorry 🤷🏼‍♀️ can also see the video on Amazon and LTK, definitely no overlays on LTK! Link is in my profile and type in HOKA once in my shop and this will pop right up!

Is the HOKA written on the side of the shoe, reflective?

[@ashleyburkblog]

I wouldn’t call it reflective per se, but it is a glossier material than the rest of the shoe so in that way it has a little shine when light hits it.

Your picture is in the way.. WTH!!!

Will fix this by EOD, thanks for letting me know!
