FAQs

Are the HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Clifton 9 typically comes in a standard width. While the upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find a wider specific version or a different model more comfortable. Check for available width options.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Clifton 9 is primarily designed for road running. While they can handle light, well-maintained trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical or muddy terrain.

What is the expected lifespan of the Clifton 9 trainers?

The lifespan varies based on usage, terrain, and runner's weight, but typically running shoes like the Clifton 9 are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles or after 1-2 years of regular use.

How does the cushioning compare to previous Clifton models?

The Clifton 9 features updated, lighter, and more responsive cushioning compared to some previous iterations, aiming for a softer yet more energetic feel.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Clifton 9 trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation during exercise.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing them with appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme temperatures, which can affect foam properties. Consider replacing them after approximately 300-500 miles of use.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the outsole provides good traction, wet surfaces can reduce grip for any shoe. Exercise caution when running on wet pavement or slick surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Clifton 9 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most running socks and athletic apparel.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
