FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school or just for running?
The HOKA Clifton 10 Kids are primarily designed for running and everyday training, offering excellent comfort and support for active play and sports. They can also be worn for school, especially if your child is very active.
What does the 'MetaRocker' technology do?
The Smooth MetaRocker is a curved sole design that helps create a smooth, efficient transition from the moment your foot lands to when you push off. It promotes a natural, forward-rolling motion, enhancing running efficiency.
Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?
Yes, these shoes feature a breathable jacquard knit upper made with 57% recycled PET (rPET) and 95% rPET linings. They are also constructed to be vegan.
How do I know what size to get for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and refer to a HOKA sizing chart for kids' shoes. Ensuring there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe is generally a good guide for running shoes.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is advised to prevent damage to the materials and construction.
What is the benefit of the TPU toecap and heel?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) toecap and heel are applied to high-wear areas to provide enhanced durability and protection against scuffs and impacts, extending the lifespan of the shoes for active kids.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet feel too warm or sweaty during activity.
Ensure your child is wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. The breathable jacquard upper is designed for airflow, but heavy cotton socks can trap heat. Also, confirm the shoes are not laced too tightly.
The shoes seem to be wearing out quickly, especially the toe area.
While these shoes feature a hardwearing TPU toecap and rugged outsole for durability, excessive dragging of feet or use on extremely abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Encourage proper running form and ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended purpose of running and training.
The reflective elements don't seem very bright in low light.
Ensure the reflective hits are clean and free from dirt or mud, as grime can reduce their effectiveness. While 360-degree reflectivity enhances visibility, always use additional lighting or wear brightly colored clothing in very low light conditions for maximum safety.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Durability: While featuring durable components like the TPU toecap and Durabrasion sticky rubber, regularly inspect the shoes for signs of wear and tear, especially the outsole, to ensure continued performance and safety.
