Beginner
Recommended for beginners. The soft cushioning is forgiving for runners just starting out whose strength and landing control are still developing, helping reduce impact discomfort. Start with 15 to 30 km per week at an easy pace to build the habit, then add volume gradually once you feel stable.

Technical Specifications
| Midsole Technology | The midsole uses compressed EVA foam, carrying on the Clifton line's signature soft cushioning. It absorbs impact on landing and feels gentle underfoot, ideal for racking up daily mileage over long distances. |
| Carbon Plate Structure | No carbon plate. The midsole contains no propulsion plate, so the ride relies on a natural, unassisted feel that lets your feet do the work in training instead of leaning on mechanical propulsion. |
| Upper Material | The upper is a GORE-TEX waterproof breathable mesh that keeps rain and road spray out while maintaining basic airflow. This is the waterproof version of the Clifton 11, blending protection with everyday comfort. |
| Outsole Configuration | The outsole uses abrasion-resistant rubber, providing stable traction on roads and wet pavement. The rubber layout favors durability, making it well suited to repeated training on asphalt. |
