FAQs
What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning for an enhanced, plush underfoot experience. The upper has also been updated with a breathable jacquard material and a double-lace lock system.
Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
It is ideal for adult female runners seeking lightweight, cushioned shoes for daily mileage, recovery runs, and long distances. It's particularly good for those who prioritize comfort and impact absorption.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for racing?
While comfortable for daily training, the Clifton 10 is designed more for cushioning and everyday wear rather than high-speed racing. For dedicated racing, HOKA offers other models with a more performance-oriented design.
How do I clean my Clifton 10 shoes?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat to dry them.
What is the purpose of the double-lace lock?
The double-lace lock system is designed to prevent the shoe's tongue from migrating or slipping to the side during runs, ensuring a consistently secure and comfortable fit.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running. While it can handle very light, well-groomed trails, it lacks the aggressive tread and protection needed for more technical off-road terrain.
What does 'heel-to-toe drop' mean?
Heel-to-toe drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe's midsole. A higher drop, like the added 3mm in the Clifton 10, can sometimes encourage a more heel-striking gait or provide a different feel underfoot.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slips to the side.
Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading the laces through the secondary eyelets at the top of the tongue.
Shoes feel too firm.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Try loosening them slightly, especially around the midfoot. The shoe is designed for plush cushioning, so allow time for your feet to adapt.
Discomfort in the heel.
Verify you are using the correct size. If the issue persists, ensure the heel counter is not being overly compressed and try adjusting the lacing around the ankle.
Upper feels restrictive.
Loosen the laces, particularly over the areas of discomfort. The jacquard upper is designed to be breathable and conform to the foot over time.
