Product Information
Full details
The Hoka Clifton 11 is an ideal daily trainer for adult runners seeking a reliable, plush ride for their everyday miles. Designed with a signature compression-moulded foam midsole and an updated mesh upper, these trainers offer an effortless balance of comfort and stability; however, runners who prefer a firm, high-ground-feel shoe may find the soft cushioning profile less responsive for speed-focused interval training.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
The Clifton 11 is designed for road and paved surfaces. While they can handle light, flat paths, they lack the aggressive lugs required for technical trail terrain.
How often should I replace my Clifton 11s?
Generally, daily trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running style, and the terrain you frequent.
Can I use my own custom orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert most standard custom orthotics for personalized arch support.
Are these reflective for night running?
Yes, the shoe includes integrated reflective details designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
Troubleshooting
Tongue shifting during long runs
Ensure the dual-lace lock system is fully engaged by pulling the laces firmly and securing them in the final eyelet to keep the tongue centered.
Midsole feels stiff in cold temperatures
Compression-moulded foam can firm up in extreme cold; perform a brief warm-up walk to allow the foam to reach its optimal operational temperature.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally comfortable for high-mileage runs
- Secure fit prevents common issues like tongue slip
- Lightweight construction despite the maximalist cushioning
- Durable outsole suitable for daily road use

Cons
- Not intended for high-speed racing or track spikes
- Soft foam may feel less reactive for some runners
- Maximalist profile can take time to adjust to for new Hoka users
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hoka Clifton 11s perform at their best, begin by properly tightening the laces to utilize the dual-lace lock system, ensuring the tongue is centered before you begin your session.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners using them on road and light paved surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth. Clean the mesh upper using mild soap and cool water.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam midsole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and rubber components.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning foam, rotate these with another pair of shoes to allow the foam cells to recover between runs.
