FAQs
Are the HOKA Clifton 10 trainers good for marathon training?
Yes, the Clifton 10's plush cushioning makes them an excellent choice for long-distance training runs, including marathon preparation, due to their comfort and impact absorption.
What is the main difference between the Clifton 9 and Clifton 10?
The Clifton 10 features an increased heel-to-toe drop (8mm vs. 5mm in Clifton 9), additional heel cushioning, a refined midsole geometry for enhanced stability, and an improved forefoot fit and toebox volume. It also includes a double-lace lock feature.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running and walking. While they may handle very light, smooth trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protective features needed for technical off-road terrain.
How do I know if the neutral support is right for me?
Neutral shoes like the Clifton 10 are suitable for runners with a neutral gait (where the foot lands and rolls inward slightly) or those who supinate (roll outward). If you have significant overpronation, you might benefit from a stability shoe.
Is the jacquard knit upper durable?
The jacquard knit upper is designed for breathability and a comfortable fit. While generally durable for its intended purpose, excessive abrasion in high-wear areas could potentially affect its longevity over time.
What is the weight of the HOKA Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 weighs approximately 227 grams for a women's size 7.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides to one side.
Ensure you are using the double-lace lock system correctly by threading the laces through the designated eyelets on the tongue.
Feet feel numb or uncomfortable after initial wear.
This may be due to the increased heel-to-toe drop. Try wearing thicker socks or using the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adapt. If discomfort persists, consult with a running shoe specialist.
Slight stiffness in the upper.
The jacquard knit upper may feel slightly stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short walks or runs to break them in. The material will soften with use.
Poor grip on wet surfaces.
While the outsole is designed for durability, grip on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Clifton 10 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are threaded through the double-lace lock system for optimal tongue stability.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and walking. They are suitable for neutral runners and those with mild overpronation due to their inherent stability features. They are compatible with most standard sock types.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Clifton 10 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Rotation: For maximum longevity and to allow the cushioning to recover, consider rotating your Clifton 10s with another pair of shoes if you run daily.
