FAQs
Are the Hoka Clifton 10 suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and lightweight design make them well-suited for the demands of marathon training, providing comfort over long distances.
What is the primary difference from previous Clifton models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3 mm of heel-to-toe drop and enhanced cushioning in the heel for increased comfort, along with a refined fit from the jacquard upper.
Can I wear these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, their cushioning and stability can be suitable for some light cross-training. However, they may not offer the lateral support needed for more dynamic gym activities.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt, then wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water and gently scrub. Allow to air dry completely.
What is the expected lifespan of the Hoka Clifton 10?
Typically, running shoes like the Clifton 10 last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km), depending on running surface, user weight, and running gait. Regular inspection for wear is recommended.

What does the 'MLST' in the MPN refer to?
MPN abbreviations can vary by manufacturer. 'MLST' likely refers to a specific colorway or material combination within the Midnight Blue/Silver color family for this model.
Troubleshooting
Tongue shifting during runs.
Utilize the double lacing loops provided to secure the tongue more effectively. Ensure the laces are tied snugly but not too tight.
Slight discomfort from the increased heel drop.
Allow a break-in period of a few runs to let your feet and stride adapt. If discomfort persists, consult with a running specialist or consider alternative models.
Shoe feels too warm.
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The jacquard upper is breathable, but very warm conditions or intense efforts might still lead to warmth. Consider shorter runs or cooler times of day.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
The outsole is designed for general road running. Be cautious when running on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
