Hoka Clifton 11 — Men's Road Running Shoe

Engineered mesh upper — softer, more pliable construction with generous padding around the heel and ankle for everyday breathability and comfort

Compression-molded EVA (CMEVA) midsole — Hoka's tried-and-true foam delivers a plush, protective ride built for high mileage, day after day

Durabrasion rubber outsole — strategically placed rubber in high-wear zones for reliable traction on roads, sidewalks, and the Okanagan's paved multi-use paths

Waterproofing — none on the standard mesh upper; a GTX (Gore-Tex) version may be available separately for wet-weather use

J-Frame™ support + Active Foot Frame — a wide, stable base that gently guides the foot and helps prevent overpronation without overcorrecting your stride

8mm heel-to-toe drop — suits heel-to-midfoot strikers looking for a smooth, forward-rolling transition via Hoka's Meta-Rocker geometry

Weight (per shoe) — approx. 283g (9.97 oz) in men's, prioritizing cushion and all-day comfort over speed

Low-profile ankle collar — padded for a secure, comfortable hold without restricting ankle mobility on long days

Removable EVA insole — open-cell sockliner reworked for added cushion and better moisture-wicking; compatible with custom orthotics

Reflective details — added trim for visibility on early-morning or dusk runs along Okanagan Lake or Mission Creek

Best for: beginner to advanced runners and all-day walkers who want a soft, highly cushioned daily trainer for roads, sidewalks, and light gravel — ideal for everything from easy Okanagan Lake loops to long shifts on your feet. Available in sizes 7–13 (men's) and 5–11 (women's), with regular, wide, and extra-wide width options.

As a certified Hoka retailer, our staff can assess your gait, foot shape, and terrain needs to make sure you leave in the right shoe — not just the right size. We also stock a range of insoles and accessories to dial in your fit further. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

Q: Are these shoes true to size?
A: Yes, the Clifton 11 generally fits true to size with a roomier toe box than past versions, thanks to an updated last. If you wear thick socks or prefer extra wiggle room, our staff can help you decide whether to size up or try a wide width — come in for a free in-store fit assessment.

Q: Are the Clifton 11 waterproof / suitable for wet Okanagan trails?
A: The standard Clifton 11 uses a breathable mesh upper and is not waterproof — it's built for road and light gravel use, not wet trail conditions. For spring mud, creek crossings, or early morning dew, ask our staff about a Gore-Tex (GTX) version or a more trail-specific Hoka model.

Q: Can I try the Clifton 11 on before buying at Fresh Air Kelowna?
A: Yes — come into either Kelowna location and our staff will assess your gait and fit, and help you choose between sizes or similar models. No appointment needed, though calling ahead during peak season (spring and fall) is a good idea.
