Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX is a versatile performance trainer engineered for runners who refuse to let adverse weather disrupt their training. By combining the signature plush cushioning of the Clifton series with an integrated GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, this shoe provides reliable protection against rain and slush while maintaining a lightweight feel. While it excels in wet and unpredictable conditions, users should note that the specialized waterproof upper may offer slightly less breathability than non-GORE-TEX versions during intense summer heat.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane designed to keep your feet dry in rain and wet conditions.

Can I use these for trail running?

While the traction is improved for wet pavement, these are road-specific shoes and may lack the aggressive lug depth required for technical mountain trails.

How often should I replace my Clifton 11s?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Is the GORE-TEX membrane replaceable?

No, the membrane is integrated into the shoe's construction and cannot be replaced or removed.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Clifton 11 is designed with a standard fit; however, the soft mesh upper has some natural flexibility to accommodate various foot shapes.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing and high heat can damage the foam midsole and the technical integrity of the waterproof membrane.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too hot during runs

The GORE-TEX membrane is less breathable than standard mesh; consider wearing thinner, moisture-wicking synthetic socks to improve internal airflow.

Speed laces feel too tight or loose

Adjust the tension at the toggle point. If you require a different fit, you can replace the speed laces with standard elastic laces of your preference.

Outer membrane shows signs of wear

Regularly brush off mud and debris to prevent grit from acting as an abrasive against the water-repellent coating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior protection against water and elements
  • High-level cushioning for joint protection on long runs
  • Quick and convenient speed lacing system
  • Enhanced traction on wet surfaces
  • Improved visibility with reflective elements

Cons

  • Waterproof membrane reduces overall breathability compared to standard mesh
  • Design may feel warmer during high-temperature training sessions
  • Speed lacing system offers less adjustability than traditional eyelets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your HOKA Clifton 11 GORE-TEX, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
  2. Lacing: Use the adjustable speed lace system to secure the midfoot; pull evenly to distribute tension across the tongue.
  3. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after each run. If the shoes become very muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging in water.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane and foam cushioning.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials.
