Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed for adult male runners seeking a plush, versatile daily trainer for logging miles in comfort. Its key benefit is the supremely cushioned ride combined with a lightweight feel. A potential caveat is the increased heel drop, which may take some adjustment for runners accustomed to a lower offset. This iteration features updated softer foams, an improved jacquard mesh upper for a better forefoot fit, and a double lace lock system to prevent tongue slippage, all building on the legendary comfort the Clifton is known for.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10s?

Wipe them with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then air dry. Avoid machine washing and direct heat.

What makes the upper material special?

It features a new jacquard mesh upper designed to improve breathability and provide a more refined fit, particularly in the forefoot.

Is this shoe suitable for runners who pronate heavily?

The Clifton 10 is a neutral running shoe. Runners who experience significant overpronation may benefit from a stability shoe.

Troubleshooting

Tongue slides to one side during run

Utilize the double lace lock system provided on the Clifton 10 to secure the tongue in place. Ensure laces are tied snugly.

Shoes feel too stiff or unforgiving

The Clifton 10 features softer foams than previous versions, but may still require a break-in period. Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, consider a shoe with a lower heel drop or a different cushioning profile.

Foot feels unstable or pronates excessively

The Clifton 10 is a neutral trainer. If you experience significant overpronation, consider consulting a running specialist for advice on stability shoes or orthotics.

Excessive wear on outsole

The outsole is made of durable abrasion rubber. However, excessive wear can occur with improper running form or on abrasive surfaces. Inspect wear patterns; if uneven, consider gait analysis. Rotate shoes if you have multiple pairs.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can alter the shoe's shape and materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their form.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
