FAQs
What kind of running is the HOKA Clifton 10 best for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is ideal for daily road running, recovery runs, and long easy efforts. Its plush cushioning and smooth ride prioritize comfort and impact protection.
How does the cushioning in the Clifton 10 compare to previous versions?
The Clifton 10 features an updated design with an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning, providing an even more revitalized and plush underfoot experience compared to its predecessors.
Is the Clifton 10 suitable for neutral runners?
Yes, the HOKA Clifton 10 is designed for neutral runners. Its Active Foot Frame™ provides inherent stability by cradling the foot, without adding traditional motion control features.
How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?
Clean your shoes gently with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
What is the typical lifespan of the Clifton 10?
Like most running shoes, the Clifton 10 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles, depending on individual usage, running style, and body weight. Pay attention to how your body feels and visual signs of wear on the outsole and midsole.
Can I use these shoes for walking or standing for long periods?
Absolutely. While designed for running, the exceptional cushioning and comfort of the HOKA Clifton 10 make it an excellent choice for walking, standing for extended periods, and general everyday wear.
Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?
While HOKA shoes are known for their comfort right out of the box, we recommend wearing them for shorter periods or runs initially to allow your feet to fully adapt to the shoe's unique cushioning and fit characteristics.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides to the side during runs.
Utilize the double-lace lock system. Thread your laces through the top eyelet and then back through the secondary loop on the tongue before tying. This helps secure the tongue in place.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Experiment with different lacing techniques. If too tight, try skipping an eyelet. If too loose, ensure you're using all eyelets and tying securely, possibly using a runner's knot for extra heel lock.
Unusual squeaking noise while running.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction between shoe components. Check if the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists and is new, contact customer support as it might indicate a manufacturing issue.
Reduced cushioning feel or increased foot fatigue.
This is a common sign that your shoes may be reaching the end of their lifespan (typically 300-500 miles). Consider if it's time for a new pair to ensure optimal protection and comfort.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking material. The breathable jacquard upper of the Clifton 10 is designed to enhance airflow, but sock choice is also crucial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup for First Use
- Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. Use the double-lace lock feature if you experience tongue migration by threading the laces through the extra eyelet near the ankle.
- Break-in Period: While HOKA shoes are often comfortable right out of the box, it's recommended to wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's cushioning and fit.
Compatibility
- Runner Profile: Best suited for neutral runners (those without significant overpronation or supination) seeking maximum cushioning.
- Terrain: Specifically designed for road running, paved surfaces, and treadmills. While it can handle light, well-maintained trails, it's not engineered for technical off-road terrain.
- Running Style: Ideal for daily training, recovery runs, long-distance easy efforts, and runners who appreciate a softer underfoot feel.
Product Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently clean your shoes with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's materials and glues.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly check the outsole for significant wear, especially in high-impact areas. Pay attention to the upper for any tears or excessive stretching.
- Replace When Needed: Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs like reduced cushioning, increased aches, or significant tread wear.
