The HOKA CLIFTON 11 GTX WIDE men's running shoes are a comfortable road model for everyday running, combining high comfort with protection from adverse weather. The wider WIDE cut provides more space for the foot, while the GORE-TEX membrane will be especially appreciated when running in the rain and wet.
The midsole is made of compression-molded EVA foam , which offers comfortable cushioning and sufficient response upon rebound. The MetaRocker™ geometry supports smooth forward movement, while the ACTIVE FOOT FRAME™ construction helps stabilize the foot.
The upper uses a waterproof GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, which helps keep the foot dry while maintaining comfort and flexibility. The durable rubber outsole ensures reliable contact with the surface. The Clifton 11 GTX WIDE is a great choice for runners who want a comfortable, voluminous shoe even in rainy weather.
BENEFITS:
- waterproof GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane
- comfortable cushioning for everyday running
- smooth roll thanks to MetaRocker™
- wider cut WIDE
- suitable for everyday and longer runs
GORE-TEX®
The GORE-TEX® membrane contains 1.4 million microscopic pores per square centimeter, which are approximately 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water and 700 times wider than a water vapor molecule. This ensures that the Gore-Tex® membrane is completely waterproof on the outside and permeable to sweat on the inside.
The grease-repellent substances present in the membrane prevent the absorption of body substances.
Shoes with a GORE-TEX® membrane will keep your feet dry and at the right temperature in all weather conditions and provide perfect climate comfort. They are long-lasting waterproof, relatively breathable and protect the foot even in the most difficult conditions.
At Hoka, this technology appears in trail and hiking shoes, where they are expected to come into contact with rain or mud.

ACTIVE FOOT FRAME
Heel stabilization. ACTIVE FOOT FRAME technology works on the principle of seats in a race car. It holds the heel and securely inserts the foot into the midsole.

META-ROCKER
META-ROCKER technology features a specially modified midsole geometry. It is therefore a rounding of the midsole, the so-called "cradle", which compensates for the difference between the heel and the toe. Technology helps to use energy efficiently at every step and drives us forward.

EVA
The name EVA stands for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate. It is a type of copolymer that combines the properties of plastic and rubber. Sports brands use this material in the form of foam, from which they make midsoles and sometimes insoles for shoes.
The widespread use of this foam is due to its excellent properties.
- lightness → one of the biggest advantages that affects the overall weight of the shoe
- shock absorption → cushions every step forward, which your knees will especially appreciate; it can absorb shocks from your steps and thus increases comfort when running and walking (even over longer distances)
- flexibility - the EVA material is very flexible and elastic, allowing natural movement and adaptation to the foot
- durability - in general, this material is resistant to cracking and wear, but of course after really long use it can easily get crushed
- thermal insulation - keeps the foot warm in cold weather, and in summer resists hot surfaces
- water resistance - the closed cell structure of EVA foam does not absorb water, so this material is also used in outdoor shoes
- affordability - compared to advanced cushioning materials, the production of EVA foam is relatively cheaper, which is also reflected in the resulting price of the shoe
