FAQs

What kind of runner are these shoes designed for?

The HOKA Clifton 10 is specifically designed for women who engage in daily running, offering exceptional cushioning and a smooth, neutral ride for high-mileage training on roads.

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

These shoes feature an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, providing a balanced platform that promotes a comfortable and natural foot strike during your runs.

How does the sizing for the Clifton 10 run?

If you are a returning HOKA customer, we recommend going half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. If you are new to HOKA, stick with your usual UK shoe size.

Can I use these shoes for trail running or off-road adventures?

The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running. While they offer superb cushioning, their outsole is optimized for paved surfaces and may not provide adequate grip or protection for technical trails or uneven off-road terrain.

What's the best way to clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Hand wash your shoes with cold water and a mild soap, using a soft brush to gently remove dirt. Always air dry them completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight.

What does 'neutral stability' mean for a running shoe?

'Neutral stability' means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) during their stride. It provides cushioning and support without additional motion control features, allowing for a natural foot motion.

What is the 'MetaRocker' feature?

The smooth MetaRocker geometry is a unique sole shape designed to facilitate a quicker and more efficient transition from foot strike to toe-off. This creates a rocking chair-like feel that promotes a more propulsive and fluid running experience.

Are these shoes suitable for walking or general everyday use?

Yes, due to their ultra-plush CMEVA cushioning and overall comfortable design, the HOKA Clifton 10 is an excellent choice for walking and providing sustained comfort for long periods on your feet, in addition to running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight, especially around the heel.

Adjust the lacing using the double-lace lock system for a more secure fit. Ensure laces are evenly tightened but not constricting. If you're a returning HOKA customer, remember the recommendation to go half a UK size down; if new, stick with your usual size.

My feet feel hot and sweaty during longer runs.

While the jacquard knit mesh upper is designed for breathability, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking synthetic materials, not cotton, to help manage foot temperature and moisture.

Experiencing slight discomfort or pressure points during the first few runs.

Like all new running shoes, the HOKA Clifton 10 may require a short break-in period. Start with shorter runs or walks to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's cushioning and fit. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate your sizing against the HOKA recommendations.

The outsole seems to be wearing down unevenly.

Uneven outsole wear can sometimes indicate aspects of your running gait, such as overpronation or supination. While the Clifton 10 offers neutral stability, if uneven wear persists, consider having a gait analysis done by a running specialist to determine if a different type of shoe might be more suitable for your biomechanics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes involves proper sizing, lacing, understanding their intended use, and regular maintenance.

Sizing Guide

Please pay close attention to sizing recommendations:

  • For Returning HOKA Customers: The Clifton 10 has an updated sizing. We recommend going half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size for the best fit.
  • For New HOKA Customers: If you are new to the HOKA brand, we advise sticking with your usual UK shoe size.

Lacing for Optimal Fit

  • Utilize the Double-Lace Lock: The shoes feature a double-lace lock system. Use this to secure the laces tightly and prevent heel slippage, customizing the fit around your ankle.
  • Even Tension: Ensure your laces are snug but not overly tight across the top of your foot. This allows for natural foot expansion during your run and prevents pressure points.

Compatibility

  • Intended Use: The HOKA Clifton 10 is specifically designed for road running and paved surfaces. Its outsole provides optimal grip and durability for these environments.
  • Avoid: While versatile, these shoes are not built for aggressive trail running, technical off-road terrain, or sports requiring rapid lateral movements, which could compromise their stability and durability.

Product Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Clifton 10 shoes. The primary materials are a Textile & Synthetic Upper and a Synthetic Sole.

  1. Initial Cleaning: After each run, gently remove any loose dirt, mud, or debris from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or old toothbrush.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, hand wash your shoes with cold water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or laundry detergent). Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  3. Washing Process: Gently scrub the mesh upper, midsole, and outsole. Do not submerge the entire shoe in water for extended periods.
  4. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all soap residue.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Place them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators, dryers, or direct heaters). Stuffing them lightly with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  6. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  7. Avoid: Do not put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning.
