FAQs
What type of runner is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is ideal for neutral runners seeking a highly cushioned and lightweight shoe for daily training, recovery runs, and long distances. It's also suitable for beginners due to its comfort and protective cushioning.
How does the Clifton 10 differ from previous Clifton models?
The Clifton 10 features an updated, more plush underfoot experience with an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop, a refined fit, and a breathable jacquard upper with an improved double-lace lock system for enhanced security.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for speedwork or racing?
While it offers excellent cushioning, the Clifton 10 is primarily designed for daily mileage and comfort. For faster workouts or races, a lighter, more responsive shoe might be more suitable.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the HOKA Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 has a 3mm heel-to-toe drop.
How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or using high heat to dry.
Is the jacquard upper durable?
Yes, the engineered jacquard upper is designed for both breathability and durability, providing a comfortable and secure fit for regular use.
What does the double-lace lock system do?
The double-lace lock system features additional eyelets to help secure the tongue in place, preventing it from shifting or migrating during your run and ensuring a consistent fit.
Troubleshooting
Tongue migration during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading the laces through the extra eyelets near the top of the tongue to secure it in place.
Feet feel too warm
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The breathable jacquard upper is designed for ventilation, but extreme heat may still cause warmth.
Slight discomfort with the new drop
Allow for a 1-2 week break-in period, incorporating shorter runs initially. If discomfort persists, consult with a running specialist.
Sole wears out quickly
Ensure the shoes are used primarily for running on appropriate surfaces (roads, treadmills). Excessive use on abrasive surfaces like trails or pavement can accelerate wear. Rotate with another pair of shoes if possible for daily use.

Compatibility: This trainer is designed for road running and general fitness activities. It is suitable for adult runners of all levels looking for a cushioned daily trainer.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the 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 adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
