How do I know what size to buy for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the Hoka size chart. Consider trying them on with typical socks your child wears to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, allowing a little room for growth if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
First, ensure you have the correct size for your child. Try adjusting the lacing pattern – sometimes loosening or tightening specific sections can improve comfort. Make sure your child is wearing appropriate socks for their activity. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or a shoe professional.
The shoes seem to be wearing out quickly.
While built with durable materials, excessive wear can occur. Check if the shoes are primarily used on highly abrasive surfaces or for activities beyond their intended use (road running/walking). Ensure regular cleaning to prevent material degradation from dirt or grit. If wear is abnormal, contact Hoka customer support.
Foot odor is developing in the shoes.
Remove the molded, removable sockliners after use and allow them to air out. You can also lightly wash the sockliners separately. Ensure the shoes themselves are fully dried after each use or cleaning, as moisture contributes to odor. Consider using anti-odor sprays if needed.
Reflective details appear less effective.
Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean and free of dirt or mud, which can obscure their visibility. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth should restore their performance. If they appear damaged, it may be due to abrasion over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Hoka Clifton 10 shoes is straightforward. Upon receiving them, ensure you select the correct size by referring to the provided size chart. Have your child try them on with the type of socks they typically wear for running or daily activity. The laces should be tied securely to provide a snug, supportive fit without being too tight. The rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame will naturally cradle the foot once properly laced.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed as a unisex option for kids. They are specifically optimized for road running and walking. While durable for general play, their design excels on paved surfaces and light paths. Always ensure the size corresponds to your child's current foot measurements for optimal performance and comfort. They are not specifically designed for heavy trail running or specialized sports that require different traction patterns.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Hoka Clifton 10 shoes.
- Cleaning: For general dirt and mud, gently wipe the shoes with a soft cloth or brush. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and cold water (avoid harsh detergents). Do not submerge the entire shoe in water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage materials. You can remove the molded, removable sockliner to help the shoes air out faster and prevent odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for any embedded debris that could affect grip. The high-abrasion rubber and abrasion-resistant toecap are designed for durability, but consistent cleaning helps maintain their integrity.
