FAQs
Who is the HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 best suited for?
It is best suited for adult female runners who run primarily on roads and desire a highly cushioned, lightweight shoe for daily training, recovery runs, and longer distances.
How does the Clifton 9 differ from previous models?
The Clifton 9 is lighter and offers more cushioning due to increased stack height and new foam. It also features an improved outsole design and a more streamlined, comfortable upper with removed overlays.
Can I use the Clifton 9 for trail running?
While they offer good grip on roads, the Clifton 9 is primarily designed for pavement. They are not recommended for technical or rugged trail running due to their construction and lack of aggressive tread.
Is the Clifton 9 good for runners who overpronate?
The Clifton 9 offers neutral support. While its cushioning can benefit many runners, those with significant overpronation might need a stability shoe. It's always best to consult with a running specialist.
How do I clean my HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 shoes?
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What is the warranty period for the Clifton 9?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your receipt or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Are there other color options available for the Clifton 9?
Yes, the Clifton 9 is available in various colorways. Please check with authorized HOKA retailers for the full range of available colors.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Check laces for tightness and consider different lacing techniques if needed.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoes naturally lose some cushioning over many miles. If significant loss occurs early, check for any structural damage. Clean the shoes according to care instructions to maintain material integrity.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole is improved, extreme wet conditions can challenge any grip. Run cautiously on wet pavement. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could impede traction.
