FAQs
What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and enhanced heel cushioning for a revitalized underfoot experience.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Clifton 10's plush cushioning and lightweight design make it an excellent choice for the majority of marathon training miles, particularly for daily and recovery runs.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running. While they might handle light, dry trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical or wet trail conditions.
How do I ensure the tongue doesn't slip?
The shoe includes a double-lace lock system. Use the designated eyelets to secure the tongue in place after lacing up.
What is the expected lifespan of the Hoka Clifton 10?
For optimal performance, most runners find the cushioning and support remain effective for 300-500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, frequency, and individual biomechanics.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Hoka Clifton 10 features a breathable jacquard upper and is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation rather than water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slipping during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading the laces through the eyelets specifically designed to secure the tongue. Ensure laces are tied snugly.
Shoes feel too stiff initially
The shoe may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter walks or runs initially to allow the cushioning and upper to adapt to your foot.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, extreme mileage and harsh conditions can reduce cushioning. Ensure proper care and consider replacement after 300-500 miles, or when significant wear is evident.
Discomfort with the heel-to-toe drop
If you experience discomfort, it might be due to the increased drop. Try adjusting your running form to land midfoot rather than heavily on the heel, or consider a shoe with a lower drop if this persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Hoka One One Clifton 10 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size and adjust the lacing to your preference using the double-lace lock system for a secure fit.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed as a road running shoe, suitable for adult male runners. It is compatible with most standard running sock types. It is not intended for highly technical trail running or very aggressive off-road conditions.
Care: To maintain the shoe's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, 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 place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the cushioning and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged compression.
