FAQs
What type of running is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is an excellent choice for daily road running, including long runs, maintenance miles, and recovery runs, due to its exceptional cushioning and comfortable fit.
How much does the HOKA Clifton 10 weigh?
The HOKA Clifton 10 (women's model) weighs approximately 227 grams (around 8.0 oz) for a size UK 7, making it a lightweight option for a cushioned shoe.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?
The Clifton 10 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which is an increase of 3mm compared to some previous Clifton models, offering a more classic, plush underfoot feel.
How has the fit been improved in the Clifton 10?
HOKA has updated the upper with a new jacquard mesh, specifically improving the forefoot fit. Additionally, a double-lace lock system has been added to prevent the tongue from moving during your run.
Can I use the HOKA Clifton 10 for trail running?
While the Clifton 10 offers good cushioning, it is primarily designed for road running. Its outsole is optimized for pavement, so it's not recommended for technical trails, but can handle very light, well-maintained paths.
How should I clean my Clifton 10 shoes?
It is best to clean your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Is the Clifton 10 suitable for neutral runners?
Yes, the HOKA Clifton 10 is designed with `Neutral cushioning` and features a `Rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame`, making it well-suited for runners with a neutral gait.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides during run
Ensure you are utilizing the double-lace lock system effectively. This feature is designed to secure the tongue in place. Experiment with different lacing patterns for a more secure fit.
Forefoot feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing tension, especially over the forefoot area. The new jacquard mesh upper is designed for an improved fit, but individual preferences vary. Consider trying a half-size up or down if discomfort persists.
Cushioning doesn't feel as plush as expected
Allow for a brief break-in period. The softer CMEVA foams will compress naturally over a few runs, conforming to your foot and providing the intended plush feel. Ensure your runs are on appropriate road surfaces.
Feeling an unfamiliar sensation due to the heel drop
The Clifton 10 features an increased 8mm heel-to-toe drop. If you're accustomed to shoes with a lower drop, give your body several runs to adapt to this change. Start with shorter distances if needed.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces
The `inherently durable abrasion rubber` is designed for road surfaces. For wet or uneven terrains, reduce pace and exercise caution as the outsole is optimized for pavement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
- Foot Placement: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the `Rearfoot Active Foot Frame`.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the toes, gradually tighten the laces for a snug, secure fit across the midfoot, without being overly restrictive.
- Double-Lace Lock: Utilize the extra eyelets at the top to create a double-lace lock, which helps prevent the tongue from sliding down and further secures the ankle area. This also helps customize midfoot lockdown.
- Check Fit: Walk around to ensure there are no pressure points and that your toes have enough room to splay.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Best suited for road running surfaces. While they can handle light, well-maintained trails, their primary design is for pavement.
- Foot Type: Features `Neutral cushioning` and a `Rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame`, making them suitable for neutral runners.
- Activities: Ideal for daily training, long runs, recovery runs, and walking. Not specifically designed for speed work or highly technical trails.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper and midsole with a soft brush or cloth, using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent odors or material degradation.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for any embedded debris that could affect traction or wear patterns. Periodically remove insoles to allow the shoe interior to air out.
