HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 Trainers - Orange - UK 9.5

The standard width offers a comfortable fit for many, but if you typically require a wider shoe, it's advisable to try them on or look for specific wide-fit versions if available.

The Clifton 9 generally offers a slightly lighter feel and more refined cushioning compared to older versions, while maintaining the core comfort and ride characteristics.

While they offer good cushioning, the Clifton 9 is optimized for running. For gym workouts involving a lot of lateral movement or heavy lifting, a shoe with more stability might be more appropriate.

For road running, the general guideline is to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles. This can vary based on individual gait, running surface, and care.

The 'Vibrant Orange/Impala' colorway is designed to be bright and noticeable. Actual color may vary slightly due to monitor settings, but it represents a vivid orange hue.

The Meta-Rocker is a geometry feature in Hoka shoes that creates a rocking chair effect, helping to reduce energy loss and promote a more efficient stride from initial contact to toe-off.

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot.

The EVA foam midsole may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption.

Ensure the gusseted tongue is properly aligned during lacing. Double-check that the laces are threaded through any lace locks or loops designed to keep the tongue in place.

While the Durabrasion rubber is durable, excessive wear can occur with improper use. Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road surfaces as intended and avoid abrasive activities.
