Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX is an ideal choice for active adults who need a reliable, cushioned trainer that can handle wet and unpredictable weather conditions. It provides the signature smooth ride of the Clifton series with the added protection of a waterproof membrane and water-repellent coating, though users should note that the closed-mesh construction prioritized for weatherproofing may feel slightly warmer in high temperatures compared to standard mesh versions.

FAQs

Is this shoe completely waterproof?

The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane is designed to keep water out while remaining breathable, making it highly effective for rain and puddles, though it is not intended for submersion.

How does the sizing compare to standard HOKA shoes?

The Clifton 11 GORE-TEX generally follows standard HOKA sizing; if you currently wear a UK 7 in other HOKA trainers, the same size should provide a consistent fit.

Can I replace the speed laces with standard laces?

While the shoe is engineered with a speed lace system for convenience, you can replace them with standard laces if you prefer a different lockdown feel.

Does the waterproof coating wear off over time?

The exterior water-repellent treatment can diminish with heavy use and washing. You may apply a water-repellent spray designed for synthetic footwear to maintain its effectiveness.

Are these shoes suitable for trails?

While they offer enhanced traction for wet road surfaces, they are primarily designed as road trainers. They may lack the aggressive lug depth required for technical or muddy trails.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of excess heat during runs

The waterproof membrane reduces airflow. Consider wearing thinner, moisture-wicking synthetic socks to improve internal moisture management.

Laces feel too tight or loose

The speed lace system is adjustable. Tension the cord evenly from the bottom up to redistribute pressure across the top of the foot.

Debris entering the shoe

Ensure the closed-mesh upper is securely tightened around the tongue area to maintain the seal against outside elements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for rainy environments
  • Signature high-cushion platform reduces impact
  • Quick and easy adjustment with speed lacing system
  • Improved traction specifically designed for wet pavement
  • Reflective elements enhance safety in low light

Cons

  • Increased weight compared to non-GORE-TEX models
  • Lower breathability due to the waterproof membrane
  • Limited to specific weather-ready colorways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX, ensure the shoes are allowed to air dry naturally after exposure to heavy rain—avoid placing them directly on heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the specialized materials. Use the speed lacing system to achieve a snug lockdown that matches your foot volume. If the shoes become muddy, clean them with a soft brush and mild soap; do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store in a cool, dry place to ensure the GORE-TEX membrane maintains its integrity over time.
