Can I wear these shoes for walking?
Absolutely. The comfort and support of the Clifton 9 make them suitable for walking as well as running, offering a pleasant experience for everyday activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should be snug but not constricting around the midfoot and heel.
What is the primary difference between the Clifton 9 and previous models?
The Clifton 9 features updated geometry and a lighter EVA foam for improved cushioning and a smoother ride compared to earlier versions.
How long do the Clifton 9 trainers typically last?
With regular use for running, the lifespan is generally between 300-500 miles. This can vary based on factors like running surface, body weight, and gait.
Are these shoes waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently or consider a wider fit if available. Break them in gradually with shorter runs.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole's cushioning properties naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and weight.
Soles showing excessive wear
Check if you are running on abrasive surfaces regularly. Rotate shoes if you have multiple pairs. Ensure proper running form to minimize uneven wear.
