Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Clifton 11 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter durations for the first 2-3 sessions to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Sizing: These are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using mild soap and cool water. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as extreme heat can degrade the EVA foam structure and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent warping the mesh and sole material.
- Rotation: Allow the midsole foam to 'recover' for 24 hours between runs if you are a daily runner; this extends the overall lifespan of the cushioning.
