Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Clifton 11 is designed for adult runners and walkers seeking a plush, cushioned experience that does not sacrifice performance when the weather turns sour. Featuring a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane and a water-repellent coating, these trainers effectively keep feet dry while maintaining breathability; however, the structured protective design may feel slightly stiffer than standard non-waterproof road shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane is waterproof, though no running shoe is completely impermeable in extreme deluge conditions.
Can I replace the speed laces with traditional laces?
While the shoe is designed for speed laces, you can replace them with standard laces if you prefer a different lockdown style.
How do I know if the size is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the foam structure. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
The cushioning usually feels comfortable out of the box, but a few short walks or light runs will help the upper material mold to your foot shape.
Can I use these for trail running?
They are designed primarily for roads, but the enhanced traction pods provide decent grip on light, well-maintained gravel paths.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a secure fit with speed laces
Ensure the lace toggle is fully unlocked before tightening. Pull the laces evenly from both sides to ensure the tongue is centered.
Water appears to be soaking into the outer layer
The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Apply a high-quality DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Clifton 11 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines. Use the speed laces to find a tension that is secure but not restrictive; adjust them while the shoe is on your foot to ensure the lockdown is even. To clean the trainers, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and wipe the nylon upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the water-repellent coating and the integrity of the waterproof membrane. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
