FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Hoka One One Clifton 9's lightweight cushioning and smooth ride make them an excellent choice for long-distance running, including marathons, providing sustained comfort and support.
How do I choose the right size?
The Hoka One One Clifton 9 is offered in UK Adult Foot Size 12. It's recommended to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the Clifton 9 offers good cushioning, it's primarily designed for road and paved surfaces. For technical or heavily uneven trails, shoes with more aggressive outsole treads and greater stability features might be more suitable.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Most running shoes, including the Clifton 9, should be replaced every 300-500 miles, or every 4-6 months, depending on your running volume, body weight, and gait. Pay attention to signs of wear like reduced cushioning or tread loss.
What is the 'smooth ride' feature?
The 'smooth ride' refers to Hoka's engineering philosophy that focuses on creating a balanced and consistent foot-strike and toe-off. This design helps to transition your foot efficiently through the gait cycle, promoting a more fluid and less jarring running experience.
Are these trainers good for walking?
Absolutely. While designed for running, the superior cushioning and comfort of the Hoka One One Clifton 9 make them an excellent choice for extended periods of walking or standing, providing ample support and shock absorption.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels uncomfortable or too tight
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Experiment with different lacing patterns to alleviate pressure points. Check if your running socks are too thick or if the size is truly appropriate after a few runs.
Trainers feel less cushioned over time
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've exceeded this, cushioning naturally degrades. Consider replacing them. For newer shoes, ensure proper storage and avoid prolonged compression.
Squeaking sound while running
Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe and the underside of the insole with baby powder or cornstarch, then reinserting it. Also, check for any trapped debris or loose components within the shoe.

Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for road running, track work, and light, non-technical trails. Their cushioning system is optimized for harder surfaces. They are compatible with various running gaits, particularly benefiting neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your trainers, clean them regularly. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Store them in a cool, dry place. Regularly check laces for wear and replace if necessary.
