FAQs
What type of runner is the HOKA Clifton 10 best for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is best for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort for their daily training miles, long runs, and recovery runs.
What does 'revitalized underfoot experience' mean?
It means the shoe has an updated design, likely including changes to the foam composition or geometry, that results in an even softer, more responsive, and comfortable feel under your foot compared to previous versions.
How often should I replace my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?
Like most running shoes, the Clifton 10's cushioning and support typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as reduced cushioning or new aches and pains.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for speed workouts or racing?
While you certainly can, the Clifton 10 is primarily designed for comfort and daily mileage, not for maximal speed. Its plush cushioning might feel less responsive for fast-paced intervals or competitive racing. Other HOKA models are better suited for those specific needs.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop compared to its predecessors. Info needed: Specific total drop (e.g., 5mm, 7mm) not provided, but the increase indicates a slightly higher offset than previous versions.
How do I clean the breathable jacquard upper?
To clean the upper, gently spot clean with a soft cloth or brush, using mild soap and cold water. Avoid submerging the entire shoe or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Shoe tongue slips to the side during my run.
Ensure you are utilizing the double-lace lock feature. Thread your laces through the two uppermost eyelets on each side, then cross them over and insert them into the loops created by the previous eyelets. This creates a more secure hold on the tongue.
My feet feel too warm or sweaty.
The breathable jacquard upper is designed for airflow. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking materials. If the issue persists, consider airing out your shoes immediately after each run.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally breaks down with use. While the lifespan varies by runner and mileage, most highly cushioned shoes like the Clifton 10 typically last between 300-500 miles. If you're past this range, it might be time for a new pair. Rotating shoes can help extend this period.
Laces come undone frequently.
Try a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot' for increased security. Also, ensure your laces are pulled firmly, but not uncomfortably tight, across your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing to secure your foot comfortably. Utilize the double-lace lock feature by threading the laces through the extra eyelets to prevent tongue movement and enhance midfoot security.

- Running Style: Ideal for neutral runners or those seeking a highly cushioned daily trainer.
Care & Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently spot clean the upper with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air out the shoes. You can use odor-absorbing packets or baking soda to help neutralize smells.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Rotation: For avid runners, consider rotating your Clifton 10 with other running shoes to allow the cushioning to decompress and recover between runs, extending their life.
