HOKA Clifton 10 - Trainers - Midnight Blue/Starlight Glow - Size 3.5

The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and enhanced under-heel cushioning for an even more plush and comfortable ride, alongside a refined fit and a breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system.

It is ideal for adult runners, particularly females, who need a lightweight, cushioned shoe for daily training, maintenance miles, and recovery runs. It's designed for comfort and impact absorption over long distances.

While the Clifton 10 is lightweight, its primary design is for comfort and daily training rather than peak racing performance. For faster races, a more performance-oriented shoe might be preferred, but it can serve for longer, slower race efforts if preferred.

Try the shoes on at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Utilize the double-lace lock system to secure the midfoot and heel.

Like most running shoes, the cushioning and support typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). This can vary based on running surface, runner's weight, and gait.

No, the Clifton 10 is designed with a breathable mesh upper for ventilation and is not waterproof. It is intended for dry-weather running and general training.

Ensure you are using the double-lace lock system correctly by lacing the extra eyelets near the ankle. Adjust lacing tension for a secure fit.

This is common for runners new to a higher drop. Try shorter runs initially to allow your body to adapt. Consider alternating with a shoe with a lower drop if discomfort persists.

While the upper is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Clean any debris from the mesh to maintain optimal airflow.

The lifespan of running shoe cushioning varies with mileage and impact. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles.
