"Women's HOKA® Clifton 9 GTX: The Women's HOKA Clifton 9 GTX is a neutral running shoe built for runners who don't want wet weather to interrupt their routine. GORE-TEX INVISIBLE FIT keeps your feet dry without the stiff, heavy feel you might expect from a waterproof shoe, so rainy-day runs feel as comfortable as any other. The CMEVA midsole delivers soft, max-cushion underfoot feel with smooth heel-to-toe transitions, and the Early Stage Meta-Rocker keeps your stride moving naturally from landing through toe-off. If you run in the early morning or after dark, 360-degree reflectivity adds meaningful visibility without any extra effort on your part.The engineered knit upper wraps the foot with a secure, breathable fit - structured enough to feel supportive, but not so stiff that it creates pressure points. Recycled poly laces and recycled content throughout the construction reflect a commitment to more sustainable materials without compromising performance. On the outsole, durabrasion rubber and weather-ready traction pods give you reliable grip on wet roads and slick surfaces, so you can stay focused on the run rather than your footing. This shoe runs about a half size small, so sizing up is recommended.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I really appreciate this shoe for those cold, wet morning runs when I still want to get out the door. The GORE-TEX keeps my feet dry without making the shoe feel like a boot, and the cushioning is genuinely soft from the first mile. The reflectivity is a nice touch too - I feel a lot more confident running before sunrise."" - Rachel, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Carlsbad, CAWho It's Best ForIf you're a neutral runner who logs miles in variable weather and doesn't want to skip a run just because it's raining, the Clifton 9 GTX is worth a serious look.
