These trainers are designed for adult male runners and are generally compatible with a wide range of foot types due to their balanced cushioning and support. They are best suited for road running and light track work.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your Clifton 9 trainers:
Cleaning: Hand wash your trainers using a mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub any dirty areas with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can degrade materials over time.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Clifton 9s with another pair of running shoes to allow the cushioning to decompress and recover, potentially extending their lifespan.
