FAQs

What makes the Clifton 10 different from previous Clifton models?

The Clifton 10 features an increased heel-to-toe drop (now 8mm) with extra heel cushioning for a more classic feel, a refined jacquard knit upper for an improved forefoot fit, a double lace lock to prevent tongue migration, and fine-tuned midsole geometry for an inherently stable ride.

Are these shoes suitable for walking as well as running?

Yes, the HOKA Clifton 10 is designed for both road running and walking, offering plush cushioning and a comfortable wide fit ideal for long periods on your feet.

What kind of stability do these shoes offer?

The Clifton 10 offers neutral stability with a symmetrical bed of cushion. It provides support by cradling your foot within the Active Foot Frame without using additional prescriptive technologies to correct pronation.

How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Hand wash your shoes with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub with a soft brush, then rinse and allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry.

What is the weight and heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?

The HOKA Clifton 10 weighs approximately 227g (for a women's UK 6, typically) and has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

Is the wide fit significantly different from a standard fit?

Yes, the wide fit provides more volume and width in the forefoot and midfoot compared to HOKA's standard width offerings. It's designed for those who find standard shoes too narrow or prefer extra room for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping or uncomfortable fit inside the shoe.

Ensure you are utilizing the double lace lock to secure the tongue and tighten laces appropriately. Check your sock choice; thinner socks might be needed if the wide fit feels too generous.

Shoes feel less cushioned or 'flat' over time.

Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've logged significant mileage, the cushioning may be naturally worn down. Consider when you purchased them and your running frequency; it might be time for a new pair.

Unpleasant odor from the shoes.

Always air out your shoes after each use. Remove insoles to allow them to dry separately. If odor persists, sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and leave overnight, then shake out. Avoid storing in damp, enclosed spaces.

Lack of grip on wet or uneven surfaces.

The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed for road running. While it has durable rubber, its tread pattern is optimized for paved surfaces, not for aggressive grip on slippery or very uneven terrain. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional plush cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Wide fit offers enhanced comfort for many users.
  • Lightweight design suitable for daily training.
  • Improved upper with double lace lock prevents tongue movement and enhances fit.
  • Neutral stability suitable for a wide range of runners.
  • Durable outsole rubber ensures longevity on road surfaces.

Cons

  • Plush cushioning may feel less responsive for speed-focused workouts.
  • Primarily designed for road surfaces, not optimal for technical trails.
  • Wide fit may not be ideal for individuals seeking a very snug, narrow fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Utilize the double lace lock feature to secure your foot. Start by lacing the shoe normally, then thread the laces through the extra loops (if present) before tying, to prevent the tongue from sliding.
  2. Socks: Wear appropriate running socks that wick moisture to maximize comfort and prevent blisters. Ensure they are not too thick, especially with the wide fit, to avoid unnecessary bulk.
  3. Initial Wear: Take a short walk or light jog to allow your feet to adjust to the shoe's cushioning and fit. The wide fit should feel comfortable without being overly loose.

Compatibility

  • Best For: Road Running, Walking.
  • Surfaces: Optimal performance on asphalt, concrete, and paved paths. While the durable abrasion rubber offers good wear, these shoes are not designed for technical trails or uneven off-road terrain where more aggressive traction and stability might be needed.
  • Foot Type: Ideal for runners with a neutral gait or those who require a wide fit. The symmetrical bed of cushion provides inherent stability without prescriptive motion control technologies.

Care Instructions

  1. Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and debris with a soft brush after each use. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can warp materials and degrade the midsole.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing them when stored.
  4. Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes. This allows the cushioning to fully decompress and recover between runs, potentially extending the lifespan of each pair.
