FAQs
Are the Clifton 11 trainers true to size?
The HOKA Clifton 11 typically follows standard athletic sizing; however, the internal waterproof membrane may make the fit feel slightly more snug than the non-waterproof model.
Can I use these for trail running?
Yes, the added traction pods and protective upper make them suitable for light trails and gravel paths, though they are primarily optimized for road performance.
How often should I reapply water-repellent spray?
It depends on usage; if you notice water no longer 'beading' on the surface of the shoe, it is a good time to gently clean them and reapply a DWR treatment.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the specialized GORE-TEX membrane. Always hand wash with mild soap and water.
Is the GORE-TEX membrane breathable?
The Invisible Fit technology is designed to be as breathable as possible, but like all waterproof shoes, they will retain more heat than non-waterproof mesh versions.
Troubleshooting
Laces feeling too loose or tight mid-run
Adjust the speed lace toggles while wearing the shoes, ensuring the tension is distributed evenly across the instep.
Water penetrating the shoe after heavy use
Check the outer fabric for dirt buildup, which can impede water repellency; gently clean the upper and consider reapplying a technical waterproof spray.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole traction pods of any embedded gravel or debris that might be preventing full contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clifton 11 trainers perform at their best, begin by adjusting the speed laces while the foot is in the shoe to find your preferred tension. Avoid over-tightening, as this can affect circulation and comfort. For care, it is essential to clean the shoes manually using a soft brush and lukewarm water to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the DWR (durable water repellent) coating. If the shoes become very wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
