Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX is a high-performance trainer designed for female runners and walkers who need reliable protection during inclement weather. It excels by combining HOKA’s signature plush cushioning with a weather-resistant membrane, making it an ideal choice for year-round outdoor activity; however, the structured GORE-TEX upper may feel slightly less breathable than non-waterproof versions during extremely hot summer days.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for snowy conditions?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane and specialized traction pods perform well in light snow and slush, though they are not a substitute for heavy-duty winter boots.
Can I remove the speed laces?
The speed laces are integrated for the intended design of this model; we recommend keeping them to maintain the intended waterproof fit and functionality.
Are these true to size?
The Clifton 11 fits true to size, but please note that the GORE-TEX version may feel slightly more snug than the non-waterproof version due to the added internal layers.
How often should I re-waterproof them?
Depending on usage, applying a water-repellent spray once every few months can help maintain the outer coating's effectiveness.
Can I use these for trail running?
While excellent for road and light gravel paths, they are designed primarily as a road trainer and may lack the deep lugs required for technical, muddy mountain trails.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too hot during use
Wear moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton to improve airflow within the membrane.
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tension of the speed lace toggle systematically from the bottom eyelets upward to redistribute pressure.
Outer membrane appears dirty or dull
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or dry, as this will damage the GORE-TEX integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the speed lace system is tightened evenly to avoid pressure points on the top of the foot.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after wet runs. If the interior gets wet, remove the sockliner and air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the waterproof coating over time.
- Maintenance: You can lightly re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior mesh if you notice water no longer beads off the surface after several months of use.
