FAQs

What type of running is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?

The HOKA Clifton 10 is ideal for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs on road and paved surfaces. Its plush cushioning is designed for comfort and impact absorption over mileage.

How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Hand wash your shoes with mild soap and cold water, using a soft brush to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry.

What is MetaRocker™ technology?

MetaRocker™ is HOKA's signature curved sole geometry. It's designed to create a smooth, 'rocking chair' like transition from foot strike to toe-off, promoting efficient gait cycle and reducing fatigue.

How often should I replace my HOKA Clifton 10s?

As a general guideline, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or approximately every 4-6 months, depending on your running frequency, body weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs of wear on the outsole and reduced cushioning feel.

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, while designed for running, the HOKA Clifton 10's exceptional cushioning and comfort make them a very popular choice for walking, especially for long distances or for individuals seeking maximum comfort and support.

What is the benefit of the CMEVA Midsole?

The Compression-Moulded EVA (CMEVA) Midsole provides the signature soft, responsive, and highly cushioned experience of the Clifton series. It absorbs impact effectively, offering protection and comfort with every stride.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too snug or uncomfortable

Re-evaluate your lacing technique, ensuring it's not too tight across the top of your foot. You might also try different lacing patterns to alleviate pressure points. Ensure you have the correct size; running shoes often require a half size up from casual shoes.

Reduced cushioning feel after some use

Running shoe midsoles compress over time. While the Clifton 10 is durable, all running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've reached this mileage, it might be time to consider a replacement pair.

Squeaking noise when walking or running

This is often temporary and can be caused by moisture between the sockliner and the shoe's last, or a new outsole breaking in. Ensure your shoes are thoroughly dry. If it persists, remove the sockliner and sprinkle a small amount of baby powder underneath, then replace the sockliner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your HOKA Clifton 10 is straightforward. Simply put them on and adjust the double-lace lock system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are snug enough to prevent your foot from sliding inside the shoe but not so tight that they cause pressure points. Taking a few steps or a short jog can help you fine-tune the lacing for optimal comfort and stability.

Compatibility

The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running and paved surfaces. Its plush cushioning and smooth ride are best suited for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts. While durable, it is not optimized for technical trail running, track workouts, or highly dynamic, agility-focused sports. This specific model is a standard width; however, HOKA often offers wide (XW/EE) variants for those who require more room in the toebox.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your HOKA Clifton 10:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap (dish soap works well) and cold water. Gently scrub the upper and sole. Do not machine wash or dry.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove the Moulded EVA Sockliner occasionally to air it out.
  4. Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Clifton 10s with another pair of running shoes to allow the cushioning to fully decompress and recover between runs.
