FAQs
What type of runner is the HOKA Clifton 10 best for?
The Clifton 10 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and a lightweight feel for daily training, recovery runs, and long distances on asphalt.
How does the Clifton 10 differ from previous versions?
The Clifton 10 features an updated CMEVA midsole with increased cushioning, a 3mm higher heel-to-toe drop, an improved fit, and a breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system for enhanced comfort and security.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Clifton 10?
The heel-to-toe drop on the HOKA Clifton 10 is 8mm.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Clifton 10 is specifically designed as a road running shoe for asphalt and hard, even surfaces. Its cushioning and outsole are not optimized for the varied terrain and debris found on trails.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Ensure you select the correct UK size. The shoe should feel snug but not tight in the forefoot, with ample room for your toes to splay. Use the double-lace lock system to secure the midfoot and prevent the tongue from shifting.
What is the weight of the HOKA Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 weighs approximately 227 grams in a women's size 7 (UK).
Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?
While the Clifton 10 offers excellent cushioning for long distances, it's primarily designed for training. For competitive marathon racing, runners might prefer a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe, though the Clifton 10 can be a comfortable option for some.
Troubleshooting
Tongue keeps slipping to the side.
Ensure you are using the double-lace lock system correctly. Thread your laces through the designated eyelets on the tongue and the corresponding eyelets on the shoe to secure it in place.
Shoes feel too firm or different than expected.
The Clifton 10 features updated cushioning and an increased heel-to-toe drop. Allow for a break-in period of 15-20 miles to let your feet adjust to the new feel. Ensure the size is correct; a shoe that is too small can alter the cushioning sensation.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
While the jacquard upper is breathable, very long or hot runs can still lead to heat buildup. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's ventilation meets your specific needs under extreme conditions.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces.
The outsole is designed for optimal grip on dry asphalt. Wet surfaces, especially smooth asphalt or painted lines, can be inherently slippery for any road running shoe. Exercise caution and adjust your stride on wet terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading the laces through the extra eyelets to secure the tongue and prevent movement during your run.
Compatibility: The Clifton 10 is designed as a neutral road running shoe, best suited for asphalt, concrete, and other hard, even surfaces. It is compatible with most standard running socks and GPS sports watches for tracking your runs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. 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 a tumble dryer, which can warp the shape and materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are not compressed or stored in a way that could distort their shape.
