🌦️ Performance Highlights
-
Weather-ready: Waterproof GORE-TEX upper keeps feet dry in rain and puddles.
-
Cushioning upgrade: Softer, more responsive EVA foam compared to Clifton 8.
-
Smooth stride: Meta-Rocker geometry promotes efficient forward motion.
-
Lightweight protection: Despite waterproofing, it remains relatively light for a daily trainer.
⚠️ Considerations
-
Breathability trade-off: Waterproofing reduces airflow compared to non-GTX Clifton 9.
-
Best for wet climates: GTX version is heavier than standard Clifton 9, so dry-weather runners may prefer the lighter non-GTX model.
-
Durability: Outsole rubber coverage is moderate; heavy mileage runners may want a more robust outsole.
