FAQs
What type of running is the HOKA Clifton 10 designed for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is specifically designed for road running, making it ideal for daily training, maintenance miles, and recovery runs on paved surfaces.
What are the key improvements in the Clifton 10 compared to previous versions?
The Clifton 10 features a revitalised underfoot experience with an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop, extra heel cushioning for better comfort, a fine-tuned fit, and a breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock to mitigate tongue migration.
How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?
To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap and cold water solution with a damp cloth to wipe the upper. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, its exceptional ultralight cushioning and enhanced comfort make the HOKA Clifton 10 an excellent choice for long-distance road runs, providing sustained protection.
What does 'double-lace lock' mean?
The 'double-lace lock' refers to a feature in the lacing system designed to secure the shoe's tongue and prevent it from shifting or migrating to the side during your run, ensuring a more consistent and comfortable fit.
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 predecessor, though the specific total drop isn't provided. This modification contributes to its revitalized underfoot feel.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the HOKA Clifton 10 is specifically designed for road running. While it offers great cushioning, its outsole and upper are not optimized for the demands of technical trails or uneven off-road terrain.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels uncomfortable or rubs during runs.
Ensure correct lacing technique and verify you have the appropriate size. Check for proper sock fit. If discomfort persists, consider visiting a running specialist for gait analysis.
Shoe laces keep coming undone.
Utilize a double knot or the 'runner's knot' lacing technique for a more secure fit. The HOKA Clifton 10's double-lace lock feature can also help by securing the tongue and providing more tension.
Shoe tongue slides to the side.
Make sure to properly use the double-lace lock system on the HOKA Clifton 10. Threading your laces through these loops is specifically designed to mitigate tongue migration.
Shoes feel less cushioned or supportive over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses over mileage. Most running shoes last between 300-500 miles. Track your mileage and consider replacement when cushioning feels noticeably degraded.
Unpleasant odor develops in shoes.
After each run, remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely. Avoid storing them in a gym bag. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers or baking soda. Ensure regular foot hygiene.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure your laces are threaded through all eyelets, including the extra top eyelet if desired for a more secure 'runner's knot' fit. Use the double-lace lock feature by threading laces through the dedicated loops to minimize tongue migration.
- Fit Check: When trying on, ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your foot should feel secure but not constricted, with no pressure points.
- Break-in: While HOKA shoes are often comfortable out of the box, consider a few shorter walks or runs before your first long run to allow the shoe to conform to your foot.
Compatibility
- Surface: Exclusively designed for road running and paved surfaces. Not recommended for technical trails, muddy paths, or uneven terrain.
- Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning. Suitable for various foot strikes due to its balanced design.
- Activities: Best suited for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts. Less ideal for track workouts or short, fast races where a more minimalist or responsive shoe might be preferred.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., old toothbrush). Use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a damp cloth to clean the upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as these can warp materials and degrade cushioning.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
