Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Consult sizing charts or try a different size if the issue persists, as fit is crucial for comfort and performance.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Running shoes naturally lose cushioning after a certain mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes if performance has significantly degraded.
Soles showing excessive wear
Check for any unusual wear patterns which might indicate a gait issue. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads, light trails) and not on abrasive materials.
Discomfort or blisters during runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check that the shoe size and width are correct and that the lacing is adjusted properly to prevent friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Hoka One One Clifton 9 requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up and go. Ensure a proper fit by trying them on with your usual running socks.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and can be worn by runners with neutral pronation. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Clifton 9s:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow 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 cause the materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Rotation: For optimal wear, consider rotating your Clifton 9s with another pair of running shoes if you run frequently. This allows the cushioning and foam to recover between runs.
