FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
The Clifton 11 features a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane and water-repellent coating, making them highly weather-resistant against rain and wet surfaces.
Can I replace the speed laces with traditional laces?
While the shoe comes with a speed lacing system, it is generally recommended to stick with the provided system for optimal performance and fit.
Are these suitable for trail running?
These are designed primarily for road running, though the traction pods offer some benefit on light, maintained gravel paths.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the waterproof sealing.
Do these shoes run true to size?
HOKA trainers generally run true to size, but the added membrane layer may make them feel slightly more snug than non-waterproof versions.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose during the run
Adjust the speed lace tension while standing with your weight distributed evenly to ensure a proper fit.
Water entering the shoe despite the waterproof membrane
Ensure the shoe is fully laced and that water is not entering through the ankle collar. Check for any tears in the upper mesh.
Reduced traction on slick surfaces
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris stuck between the traction pods and remove with a stiff brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Clifton 11s, begin by adjusting the speed laces to find a tension that feels secure but not restrictive across the bridge of your foot. For daily care, remove excess mud or dirt after wet runs using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or heavy abrasive sponges, as these can degrade the water-repellent coating. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blends to complement the breathable-yet-sealed design of the shoe.
