FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear, or just for running?
Yes, these shoes are designed for both everyday play and running. Their `ultralight 30% sugarcane midsole` provides ample cushioning for all-day comfort, while features like the `smooth MetaRocker` aid in efficient movement for more active pursuits.
How durable are these shoes for active children?
The Hoka Clifton 10 Kids are built with durability in mind. They feature a `TPU toecap and heel` for added resistance against scuffs and scrapes, and a `Durabrasion sticky rubber outsole` for long-lasting traction, making them resilient for active kids.
Can these shoes be washed in a machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wash these shoes. Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap, and air dry them away from direct heat. The `moulded, removable sockliner` can also be hand washed separately.
Do these shoes offer good grip on different surfaces?
Yes, the `Durabrasion sticky rubber outsole` is designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces, ensuring stability during different activities, from playground surfaces to paved paths.
Are there any safety features for low-light conditions?
Yes, the shoes include `360 degrees of reflectivity` to enhance visibility, making children more noticeable in low-light environments, which contributes to their safety during outdoor activities.
What kind of environmental considerations went into making these shoes?
The Hoka Clifton 10 Kids incorporate eco-friendly materials, including an `ultralight 30% sugarcane midsole` and a `breathable jacquard knit upper` made with `31% recycled yarn` (specifically 57 rPET content), and `95 rPET linings`, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.
Is the insole removable if my child uses custom orthotics?
Yes, the shoes feature a `moulded, removable sockliner`, which can be taken out to accommodate custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet feel too hot or sweaty during wear.
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking athletic socks). The `breathable jacquard knit upper` is designed for airflow, but heavy cotton socks can trap heat. If the issue persists, consider adjusting the lacing to allow slightly more air circulation.
The shoes seem to be wearing out quickly in certain spots, like the toe.
While the `TPU toecap and heel` add durability, very aggressive play or specific activities can still cause wear. Regularly check the shoe size to ensure it's not too small, as improper fit can exacerbate wear. For scuff marks, gently clean the affected area as per care instructions.
My child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
First, ensure the correct size. The `UK size 4` should allow for a thumb's width space at the toe. Check if the laces are tied correctly – not too tight, which can cause pressure points, and not too loose, which can lead to friction. Also, ensure the `moulded, removable sockliner` is seated properly without folds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unboxing: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied, neither too loose nor too tight, to provide optimal foot support.
- First Wear: Have the child try on the shoes with their usual athletic socks to check for a comfortable fit. There should be a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility:
These shoes are specifically designed for `kids` in `UK size 4`. They are `unisex` and suitable for children of varying foot shapes, thanks to the `rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame` which cradles the foot.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: The `breathable jacquard knit upper` can be gently cleaned with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Outsole Maintenance: Remove any debris from the `Durabrasion sticky rubber outsole` using a brush to maintain optimal traction.
- Sockliner: The `moulded, removable sockliner` can be taken out and washed separately by hand with mild soap, then air-dried.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material degradation. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Durability: The `TPU toecap and heel` enhance durability, but regular inspection for wear and tear, especially in high-abrasion areas, is recommended.
