Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Clifton 11 trainers are designed for female runners and walkers who require a reliable, cushioned shoe capable of handling unpredictable weather conditions. The primary benefit of this footwear is its advanced GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology, which provides a protective barrier against moisture without compromising the shoe's internal comfort or fit. One caveat to note is that while these shoes excel in wet conditions, the specialized membrane and reinforced upper may feel slightly less breathable than traditional lightweight summer running shoes.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer?
While wearable in summer, the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane reduces breathability, so they are better suited for cooler or wet climates.
Can I replace the speed laces with standard laces?
The speed lace system is specific to this model for ease of use; using standard laces may affect the fit and integrity of the shoe's closure.
How do I know if the GORE-TEX is working?
When water beads up on the surface of the shoe rather than soaking into the fabric, the membrane and repellant coating are functioning correctly.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the internal structure and the GORE-TEX membrane. Always hand-clean using the provided care instructions.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, like most HOKA models, the Clifton 11 features a neutral platform with balanced cushioning designed to support natural foot alignment.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Check that the shoe is properly tightened and that your running socks are not exposed, as water can wick into the shoe from the top opening.
Accumulated dirt reducing grip
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear out debris from between the traction pods on the outsole to restore surface contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Clifton 11s last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb-width of space in the toe box to allow for foot swelling during long runs.
- Lace Adjustment: Use the speed lace system to secure the shoe snugly across the midfoot; avoid over-tightening which can restrict blood flow.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Never place these shoes near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
