FAQs

Is the Clifton 9 good for flat feet?

The Clifton 9 is a neutral trainer, but its wide base offers inherent stability that many runners with flat feet find supportive.

Can I use these for trail running?

These are primarily road trainers. While they can handle light, groomed paths, they lack the lugs required for technical or loose trail terrain.

How many miles do they last?

Most runners find that the cushioning remains effective for 300 to 500 miles, depending on weight and gait.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Clifton 9 generally fits true to size for most male runners.

Do I need to break these in?

While they feel great out of the box, it is recommended to wear them for short walks or easy runs before attempting long distances.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try a 'runner's loop' or window lacing technique to relieve pressure across the midfoot.

Heel slipping while running

Ensure the laces are snugged properly through the top eyelet and check that the heel counter is not obstructed by your socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, wear your Clifton 9s with technical moisture-wicking socks to prevent friction. Compatibility is highest with neutral-leaning road surfaces, though they perform well on light-groomed paths. Care is simple: wipe down with a damp cloth after muddy runs, avoid machine washing to preserve the foam integrity, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Rotate your shoes if running daily to let the cushioning foam recover fully.
