FAQs

Is the HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Clifton 9 is an excellent choice for marathon running due to its superior cushioning and lightweight design, which help reduce fatigue over long distances.

What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?

The Clifton 9 features an early-stage Meta-Rocker geometry, which promotes a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off, making it suitable for various foot strikes, particularly those who land midfoot or slightly heel-first.

Can I wear the Clifton 9 for trail running?

No, the Clifton 9 is designed specifically for road running. Its outsole lacks the aggressive tread pattern and durability needed for trail conditions.

How durable is the orange color?

The color is integrated into the material and should not fade significantly with normal use and proper care. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time.

What is the main difference between the Clifton 8 and Clifton 9?

The Clifton 9 features a lighter construction, increased stack height for more cushioning, a softer EVA foam, and an updated engineered knit upper compared to the Clifton 8.

Is this shoe good for someone with flat feet?

The Clifton 9 is a neutral shoe, meaning it does not offer specific stability features for overpronation. However, its ample cushioning can be comfortable for some individuals with flat feet, particularly if they do not require motion control. Consulting with a shoe specialist is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during runs

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting lacing techniques. If discomfort persists, the shoe's cushioning level might not be suitable for your biomechanics.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

EVA foam naturally compresses with use. For significantly reduced cushioning, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes after substantial mileage (typically 300-500 miles).

Upper feels too warm

The engineered knit offers breathability, but in very hot conditions, thicker socks might contribute to heat. Consider thinner, moisture-wicking socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for comfort on long runs.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue.
  • Smooth and efficient ride due to Meta-Rocker technology.
  • Breathable and comfortable upper provides a secure fit.
  • Versatile for daily training, tempo runs, and recovery runs.

Cons

  • May feel too soft for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive shoe.
  • The bright orange color may not appeal to all users.
  • Durability might be a concern for extremely high-mileage runners on abrasive surfaces.
  • Not ideal for trail running due to its road-focused design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA ONE ONE Clifton 9 requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up and go. Ensure you have the correct UK size (9.5 in this case) for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and are compatible with most running surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners and those who supinate slightly. They are not designed for trail running.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Rotation: For maximum lifespan, consider rotating with another pair of running shoes, allowing the foam to recover between runs.
