Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Clifton 11 is an ideal choice for active adults seeking a reliable, cushioned trainer that performs exceptionally well in unpredictable weather conditions. Designed with a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane and a water-repellent coating, this shoe keeps your feet dry and comfortable during road runs or daily commutes in the rain. While these features provide superior protection, the added weather-proofing makes the shoe feel slightly more structured and less breathable than non-GORE-TEX summer models.

FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

They feature a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane that makes them highly water-resistant, protecting against rain and wet road conditions, though they are not intended for submersing in deep water.

Can I replace the speed laces with standard laces?

Yes, if you prefer traditional tying, the speed laces can be removed and replaced with standard athletic laces.

How do the Clifton 11s fit compared to previous models?

The Clifton 11 generally retains the classic HOKA fit, but the GORE-TEX version may feel slightly more snug due to the waterproof lining.

Should I size up for these trainers?

Most users find their standard size works well, but if you prefer wearing thicker winter socks, you may consider a half-size increase.

How long will the water-repellent coating last?

The effectiveness of the outer coating can degrade over time with heavy use. You can reapply a standard outdoor-rated water-repellent spray to maintain the beading effect.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe during heavy rain

Ensure your socks are tucked inside the collar and the lacing is adjusted snugly to prevent water from running down your leg and into the shoe opening.

Feeling of stiffness in the upper

The GORE-TEX membrane is more structured than standard mesh; try wearing the shoes for shorter periods during the first few runs to allow the material to flex and break in.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather protection for wet-weather running
  • Secure and quick lacing system
  • Improved traction for slick road conditions

  • Less breathable than standard mesh trainers
  • Added weight due to waterproof membranes
  • Requires specific care to maintain the water-repellent coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Clifton 11 trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks to take advantage of the waterproof membrane's fit.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the speed laces to a snug but comfortable tension; do not overtighten, as the membrane provides a secure wrap around the foot.
  3. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away mud after runs. Avoid using harsh detergents which can break down the water-repellent treatment.
  4. Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place these shoes in a tumble dryer or directly against a heat source, as intense heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and warp the foam cushioning.
