FAQs
Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts. It's also a great option for those who prioritize comfort and protection.
What is the primary difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop for a more pronounced cushioned feel and has an updated, breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system to prevent tongue migration.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for speedwork or racing?
While the Clifton 10 is lightweight, its primary focus is on cushioning and comfort for daily mileage. For faster workouts or races, you might consider a lighter, more responsive shoe designed specifically for those purposes.
Is the HOKA Clifton 10 a neutral or stability shoe?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is a neutral running shoe, meaning it does not offer specific stability features for overpronation.
How should I clean my Clifton 10 shoes?
Gently clean with a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth. Always air dry at room temperature and avoid machine washing or heat.
What is the warranty period for the HOKA Clifton 10?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the specific retailer's warranty policy or HOKA's official website for details.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides to one side during runs.
Utilize the double-lace lock system integrated into the upper. Ensure you are lacing through the designated eyelets to properly secure the tongue.
Shoes feel too cushioned or high.
The Clifton 10 features a higher stack height and an increased heel-to-toe drop (3mm more than previous models). This is intended for enhanced cushioning. If this feel is unfamiliar, allow a few runs to adapt. If it remains uncomfortable, consider a shoe with a lower profile.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, wet surfaces can inherently reduce grip. Run with caution on very wet or slippery roads. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that could impede traction.
