Common complaints
The chunky aesthetic limits versatility — this is purely a performance comfort shoe.
Summary
If comfort is your only priority, the Clifton 9 is hard to beat. Hoka's cushioning technology is genuinely helpful for people with joint issues, and the Meta-Rocker sole promotes a natural stride. Not a style shoe, but the most comfortable daily walker on this list.
