FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Clifton 11 is specifically designed for high-mileage training and provides the consistent cushioning needed for long runs.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and the structure of the upper mesh. Hand cleaning is highly recommended.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual gait.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The Clifton 11 provides a neutral platform with moderate support, suitable for most runners with a neutral or slightly pronated gait.
Are they waterproof?
No, the upper is made of an elevated mesh designed for breathability, meaning it is not waterproof.
What is the primary difference from previous versions?
The 11th iteration introduces refined silicone touchpoints and an improved tongue lock system to enhance overall fit stability.
Troubleshooting
Tongue shifting during runs
Ensure the laces are threaded through the dedicated double-lace lock system on the tongue to anchor it in place.
Upper mesh feels tight
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure over the top of the foot while breaking in the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the laces through the double-lock loops properly before tightening to lock the midfoot in place. Because these are performance trainers, they are best paired with technical running socks to wick moisture and prevent friction against the mesh upper. When cleaning, avoid the washing machine. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Always allow the trainers to air dry away from direct heat sources, like radiators, to prevent the foam midsole from warping or degrading.
