Product Information
Full details
The Hoka Clifton 11 is an essential daily trainer designed for runners who prioritize consistent cushioning and smooth transitions during maintenance miles. It features an engineered mesh upper and a compression-molded EVA midsole that works to reduce fatigue across various surfaces. While these trainers offer exceptional shock absorption and a secure fit, they are primarily optimized for road use and may not provide the aggressive traction required for technical trail running.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Clifton 11 is designed for daily maintenance miles and provides the necessary cushioning to support long-distance training.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable if you need to use your own custom orthotics.
How often should I replace my Cliftons?
Generally, running shoes like the Clifton 11 should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Clifton 11 features an engineered mesh upper for breathability and is not designed to be waterproof.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill running, the high stack height and cushioning are specifically optimized for forward-moving gait cycles, which may feel less stable for lateral-movement gym exercises.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking or running
Utilize the double-lace lock feature or try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel into the Active Foot Frame.
Upper material showing light dust/dirt
Gently brush the mesh with a soft-bristled brush once dry. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which can damage the 3D printed overlays.
Midsole feels stiff in cold weather
EVA foam can naturally firm up in low temperatures; the cushioning will become responsive again as the foam warms up during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hoka Clifton 11 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Lacing: Utilize the double-lace lock system to customize your fit. Ensure the tongue is centered before tightening to prevent pressure points across the bridge of your foot.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the EVA foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and debris. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Never machine wash or put these shoes in a dryer, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper materials to fade or degrade over time.
