Extended Product Information

The HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 is engineered to excel in road running and walking scenarios. Its new foam provides a noticeably softer landing and a more energetic toe-off, making it ideal for daily training runs, long distances, and recovery efforts. For instance, a user training for a marathon would appreciate the consistent cushioning over many miles, reducing fatigue. The improved outsole design offers reliable grip on asphalt and concrete, ensuring stability even in damp conditions. Walkers will also benefit from the plush feel and supportive structure, making it a comfortable choice for extended strolls or active commutes. The true-to-size fit means you can confidently expect a familiar feel from the moment you lace them up. Whether you're logging serious mileage or enjoying a leisurely walk, the Clifton 9 aims to provide a smooth and comfortable experience.

Setup The HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 features a classic lacing closure. For optimal fit: 1. Unlace: Loosen the laces completely to easily slide your foot into the shoe. 2. Insert Foot: Ensure your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe. 3. Lace Up: Starting from the bottom, tighten the laces evenly, making sure they are snug but not too tight, to avoid pressure points. 4. Tie: Finish with a secure knot. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure or slippage. ### Compatibility These shoes are primarily designed for road running and walking. They perform best on paved surfaces, sidewalks, and light urban paths. While they offer cushioning, their outsole is optimized for road traction, making them less suitable for rugged trail conditions. ### Care Proper care extends the life of your Clifton 9 shoes: - Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth, then wipe clean. - Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials. Remove insoles to speed up drying. - Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods. - Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
