Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
The Clifton 9 is designed specifically for road surfaces. While they can handle light, maintained paths, they lack the lug depth and stability required for technical trail running.
Do these provide arch support?
The Clifton 9 features a neutral design with inherent stability provided by the wide base, but they do not contain rigid arch supports for overpronation.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Can I use custom orthotics with these?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert most standard-sized custom orthotics if required.
Is the sizing consistent with other brands?
Hoka sizing is generally standard. However, if you are between sizes, it is recommended to lean toward the larger size to accommodate foot swelling during exercise.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage or heel lift
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock-down' lacing technique using the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Upper mesh accumulation of dust or mud
Allow the mud to dry completely and gently brush it away with a soft, dry bristle brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Clifton 9 trainers, it is essential to allow them to air dry fully if they become wet after a rainy run. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources, such as radiators, as this can degrade the foam composition. For cleaning, use a soft brush and mild soap to remove surface dirt from the mesh upper. When ensuring a proper fit, wear the socks you intend to run in to account for natural foot swelling during activity. Check the wear pattern on the outsole periodically to assess if the shoe has reached the end of its functional lifespan, typically between 300 to 500 miles.
