FAQs

What kind of running is the HOKA Clifton 10 best for?

The HOKA Clifton 10 is best suited for daily road running, recovery runs, and long-distance training on paved surfaces due to its exceptional cushioning and stability.

How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Gently clean with a soft brush and lukewarm water, using a mild soap if needed. Hand wash only and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

I've worn HOKA shoes before; should I order the same size?

No, for the Clifton 10, if you are a returning HOKA customer, it is recommended to go half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. New HOKA customers should stick with their usual size.

What does 'Smooth MetaRocker™' mean?

The Smooth MetaRocker™ is a unique midsole geometry that uses a small difference in height between the heel and toe, creating a 'rocker' effect. This design helps to propel you forward, facilitating a smooth and efficient transition from foot strike to toe-off.

Is the Clifton 10 suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: While the jacquard knit upper offers some adaptability, specific information on wide-fit availability for this model is not provided. Users with wide feet may need to try them on to assess fit.

What are the main improvements in the Clifton 10 compared to previous versions?

The HOKA Clifton 10 has been specifically retuned for increased stability and offers more cushioning in the heel for superior underfoot comfort, marking a decade of cushioned performance with these key upgrades.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too big/small after initial wear.

Refer to the sizing note: If you're a returning HOKA user, consider if you followed the recommendation to size down. If new to HOKA, ensure you ordered your usual size. Check if sock thickness is affecting fit.

Laces frequently come undone during runs.

Ensure you are utilizing the double-lace lock feature and tying a secure knot. A double knot can also prevent slippage.

Foot feels hot or sweaty during runs.

The jacquard knit upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks, as cotton socks can trap heat and moisture.

Experiencing minor discomfort or rubbing.

Check your lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose in specific areas. Break-in period might be needed; gradually increase mileage. Review sock choice for seamless designs.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Running shoe midsoles have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on individual use and weight. If you've put in significant mileage, it might be time for a new pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Before your first run, ensure laces are evenly tightened from the forefoot to the ankle. The double-lace lock system allows for a secure, customized fit. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause pressure points.
  2. First Wear: Wear your new Clifton 10s around the house for a short period to get accustomed to their feel and cushioning. This helps ensure comfort before a full run.
  3. Sizing Note: If you are a returning HOKA customer, consider going half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. If you are new to HOKA, stick with your usual shoe size. This is crucial for optimal fit and performance.

Compatibility

  • Intended Use: Best suited for daily road running, recovery runs, and long-distance training on hard, even surfaces.
  • Runner Profile: Ideal for female runners seeking a highly cushioned, stable, and comfortable shoe for regular training.
  • Foot Type: Accommodates a wide range of foot types due to its adaptive fit and stable platform.

Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your HOKA Clifton 10s, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently remove dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and lukewarm water. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap or shoe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Washing: Hand wash only. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can degrade materials.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  5. Laces: If laces become worn, they can be replaced to maintain a secure fit.
