FAQs
What kind of runner is the HOKA Clifton 10 designed for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is ideal for neutral runners seeking exceptional cushioning and comfort for daily training, recovery runs, and longer distances. It's a versatile choice for everyday miles.
What's the main difference between the Clifton 10 and previous models?
Key updates in the Clifton 10 include an increased stack height for enhanced cushioning, an updated heel-to-toe drop from 5mm to 8mm for smoother transitions, and a refined breathable jacquard knit upper with a double-lace lock for an improved fit.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for speed work or racing?
While the Clifton 10 offers responsiveness, its primary design focus is on cushioning and comfort for daily training. For dedicated speed work or racing, you might prefer a lighter, more aggressive shoe, but it can certainly handle varied paces during everyday runs.
How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?
We recommend hand washing your Clifton 10s with mild soap and cold water. Gently brush off dirt and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, an update from previous Clifton models, designed to promote a smoother underfoot experience.
Is the Clifton 10 suitable for wide feet?
The engineered jacquard knit upper offers a balance of flexibility and support, designed to adapt to various foot shapes. For specific wide-fit options, check if HOKA offers a dedicated wide version in your size. > Info needed: confirm availability of wide sizes for this model.
What surfaces are these shoes best for?
The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running, paved surfaces, and sidewalks. The Durabrasion rubber outsole also provides reliable traction on well-maintained paths and light gravel.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
The jacquard knit upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying different sock materials.
The tongue of the shoe feels like it's shifting.
The Clifton 10 features a double-lace lock to mitigate tongue migration. Ensure your laces are threaded through both loops on the tongue and tied securely. Adjusting lace tension can also help.
My gait feels different with the new shoes.
This model has an updated heel-to-toe drop (from 5mm to 8mm). It's normal to feel a slight change. Allow for a short adaptation period, starting with shorter runs to let your body adjust to the new geometry.
The cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoe midsoles compress over time. Regularly inspect the shoe for signs of wear. While the Clifton 10 is durable, consider replacing running shoes after 400-600 miles or if comfort and support significantly diminish.
Squeaking noises while running.
Squeaking can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's footbed, or from the outsole on certain surfaces. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. If the noise persists, it might be due to normal shoe movement on specific surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly. The double-lace lock in the jacquard upper is designed to help mitigate tongue migration; adjust as needed for optimal comfort.
- Break-in Period: While often comfortable from the first wear, a short break-in period of a few short runs may help your feet fully adapt to the shoe's cushioning and updated heel-to-toe drop.
Compatibility
- Running Type: Best suited for neutral runners and those seeking maximum cushioning for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts.
- Surfaces: Designed for road running and paved surfaces, but the Durabrasion rubber outsole provides adequate traction on light trails or well-maintained paths.
- Feet: The jacquard knit upper is designed to adapt to various foot shapes, offering a breathable and comfortable fit.
Product Care
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage materials.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can warp materials and degrade adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Keeping shoes stuffed with newspaper when not in use can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Rotation: For optimal longevity, consider rotating your HOKA Clifton 10 with other running shoes, especially if you run daily.
