FAQs
Are the HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Clifton 9's exceptional cushioning and comfort make it a very popular choice for marathon runners, particularly for longer distances where impact protection is crucial.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Clifton 9 is primarily designed for road running. While they might handle very light, well-groomed trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical off-road terrain.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to HOKA's official size chart or try them on in-store. Generally, running shoes should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.
What is the difference between the Clifton 9 and previous models?
The Clifton 9 features an updated, lighter, and more resilient foam compound compared to previous versions, along with subtle geometric refinements for an even smoother ride.
How long should I expect the cushioning to last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on mileage, running surface, and individual biomechanics. Most runners find the optimal cushioning performance for around 300-500 miles before considering a replacement.
Can these shoes accommodate orthotics?
Yes, the Clifton 9 has a removable insole, making it compatible with many standard orthotics or custom insoles. Ensure the orthotic fits comfortably without causing pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting the insole firmly. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately.
Slightly tight fit in toe box
Loosen the laces, particularly in the forefoot area. The engineered knit upper may stretch slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, consider socks with a thinner profile.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While the EVA foam is durable, its cushioning properties can decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and weight.
