How do I clean my Hoka Clifton 9 trainers?
Clean them with mild soap and cool water using a soft cloth or brush. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?

Meta-Rocker technology refers to the shoe's sole geometry that is designed to encourage a rolling motion, promoting a smoother and more efficient stride from heel to toe.
How does the mesh upper contribute to performance?
The breathable mesh upper enhances ventilation, keeping your feet cool and dry during your runs, which improves overall comfort.
What is the main difference compared to previous Clifton models?
The Clifton 9 typically features updated cushioning compounds and a refined upper design for improved comfort and a lighter feel compared to its predecessors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Consider trying a half-size up or using thinner socks if the issue persists. The mesh upper does offer some flexibility.
Cushioning feels too soft
The Clifton 9 is known for its soft cushioning. If a firmer feel is preferred, these might not be the ideal shoe. For this model, ensure the laces are tied properly to maximize support.
Soles showing wear quickly
Check for excessive friction points during your gait. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads, light trails) and not abrasive materials. Regular cleaning can also help maintain sole integrity.
