Setting up your HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 shoes is straightforward:
Lacing: Utilize the lace-up fastening to achieve a snug and secure fit. Adjust laces evenly across the foot to avoid pressure points.
Fit: The Clifton 9 is designed to offer a true to size fit. We recommend trying them on with your preferred running socks to ensure optimal comfort.
These shoes are specifically designed for:
Road Running: Excellent for asphalt, concrete, and other paved surfaces.
Walking: Ideal for daily walks and casual wear due to their superior comfort and cushioning.
They are less suitable for technical trails or off-road conditions where more aggressive traction and stability might be required.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Clifton 9 shoes:
Cleaning: For the breathable mesh upper and rubber sole, it is generally recommended to clean them with a mild soap and cold water solution. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat sources, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Specific Instructions: Always refer to any specific care instructions provided with your HOKA ONE ONE product for detailed guidance.
