FAQs

What type of runner is the HOKA Clifton 10 designed for?

The Clifton 10 is designed as a daily trainer for neutral runners seeking exceptional cushioning and support for everyday road running, including short to moderate long distances.

Why is there a specific sizing recommendation for women's Clifton 10?

HOKA updated the sizing for the women's Clifton 10. Existing HOKA wearers are advised to go down half a UK size, while new HOKA users should stick to their usual size for an optimal fit.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?

The HOKA Clifton 10 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, an increase compared to some previous models, contributing to its plush cushioning.

Can I use these shoes for racing or speed work?

While versatile, the Clifton 10's primary focus is on plush cushioning and comfort for daily training and longer, slower runs. For dedicated racing or speed work, you might prefer a shoe with a firmer, more responsive feel.

How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, gently scrubbing with a soft brush. Air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry.

What does the 'Smooth Meta-Rocker' do?

The Smooth Meta-Rocker is a rockered midsole geometry designed to promote a smooth and efficient transition from foot strike to toe-off, enhancing your running gait.

Is the Clifton 10 suitable for wider feet?

The Clifton 10 features an improved forefoot fit. While generally accommodating, if you typically require a wide fit, you may need to try them on to ensure comfort. HOKA also offers specific wide-fit versions for some models, but information on a wide variant for this specific model is not provided here.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too large or small for existing HOKA users.

The women's Clifton 10 has an updated sizing. If you previously owned HOKAs, consider going half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. If this is your first pair of HOKAs, stick to your usual running shoe size.

Tongue slips or moves during a run.

Ensure you are utilizing the double-lace lock feature. Threading laces through the extra eyelets provided can help secure the tongue and reduce movement.

Lack of expected cushioning feel.

The Clifton 10 features softer foams designed to compress more. This might feel different initially if you're used to firmer shoes. Allow a few runs for your feet to adjust. Ensure the moulded EVA sockliner is correctly seated within the shoe.

Shoes feel less stable than expected.

Confirm the shoes are laced properly and snugly. The rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame provides inherent stability, but an improper fit can compromise this. Ensure your foot is properly nested within the shoe's design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Sizing Guidance

For women's sizing, the Clifton 10 has been updated. Please note the following:

  • If you are an existing HOKA customer: It is recommended to go half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. For instance, if you typically wear a UK 5.5 in a Clifton 9 or Bondi 8, try a UK 5 for the Clifton 10.
  • If you are new to HOKA: Stick with your usual running shoe size.

Always try on shoes with your typical running socks to ensure the best fit.

Compatibility

The HOKA Clifton 10 is primarily designed for:

  • Daily Road Running: Its high cushioning makes it perfect for everyday training, from short jogs to moderate long runs.
  • Neutral Runners: Provides support for runners who don't require significant motion control.
  • Recovery Runs: The plush feel is excellent for easier-paced runs after harder efforts.
  • Walking/Casual Wear: The comfort and support also make them suitable for prolonged standing or walking.

Care Instructions

To maintain the longevity and performance of your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) or a dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cool water. Lightly scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Washing: Hand wash only. Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), which can warp materials. You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
