Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX is designed for female runners who require reliable, cushioned support regardless of weather conditions. Its key benefit is the integration of a waterproof GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, allowing for a dry and comfortable run in rain or mud; however, users should note that the added weatherproofing materials may slightly reduce the overall breathability compared to standard non-waterproof mesh running shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane and water-repellant coating are designed to keep feet dry during runs in rain and wet conditions.

Can I use these for trail running?

While these trainers have improved traction pods for wet roads, they are primarily designed as road-running trainers.

How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX shoes?

Clean them by hand with a soft brush and mild soap, then let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Does the GORE-TEX version fit differently than the regular Clifton 11?

The GORE-TEX version may feel slightly more structured or snug due to the waterproof membrane integrated into the upper.

Are the speed laces replaceable?

Yes, if the speed lace system becomes worn, it can be replaced with standard laces or a compatible aftermarket speed lace kit.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of heat buildup during summer runs

The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for moisture protection and is less breathable than standard mesh; consider using thinner, moisture-wicking socks for better temperature management.

Speed laces feel too tight or loose

Adjust the toggle tension while the foot is seated in the shoe to ensure the pressure is evenly distributed across the instep without cutting off circulation.

Water entering from the top collar

The shoe is water-resistant, not fully waterproof; ensure your running pants or leggings overlap the shoe collar during heavy rain to prevent water from running into the opening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing capabilities for adverse weather
  • High-cushion platform reduces impact fatigue
  • Speed lacing system allows for quick adjustments
  • Enhanced traction pods provide stability on wet roads
  • Reflective elements increase safety in low light

Cons

  • Less breathable than standard non-GORE-TEX mesh models
  • The closed upper may feel slightly stiffer than traditional trainers
  • Not suitable for extreme hot-weather environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to run in, as the internal membrane provides a snug, structured fit. To maintain the effectiveness of the GORE-TEX technology and the water-repellant coating, it is recommended to hand wash your trainers with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. After running in mud or heavy rain, wipe the shoes down with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause materials to warp.
