Hoka One One Clifton 9 - Orange - UK 7.5

The standard Clifton 9 offers a regular fit. While the upper has some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them too narrow. Check for available wide (2E) or extra-wide (4E) options if needed, though this specific orange variant is listed as a standard fit.

With proper care and use on intended surfaces, the HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running style, weight, and the surfaces run on.

The Clifton 9 is primarily designed for road running and general fitness. While they can handle very light, well-maintained gravel paths, they lack the aggressive tread and protection needed for technical trail running.

The Clifton 9 features a lighter, more responsive EVA foam midsole, a slightly broader platform for inherent stability, and an updated, more breathable engineered knit upper compared to the Clifton 8.

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, which can fade the color. Always air dry away from direct heat.

The significant cushioning and supportive design of the Clifton 9 can be beneficial for individuals with plantar fasciitis, as it helps absorb impact and reduce stress on the foot. However, individual results may vary, and consulting with a healthcare professional is always recommended.

Ensure you have the correct size. If still tight, try loosening the laces or consider insoles that might alter the internal volume slightly. Trying a half-size up might be necessary for some.

The EVA foam midsole naturally compresses with use. If cushioning significantly decreases, it may be time to replace the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles.

While the outsole provides good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.
