FAQs
What is the HOKA Clifton 10 designed for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed as a highly cushioned daily trainer for road running, ideal for your everyday maintenance miles.
How does the Clifton 10 differ from previous models?
This update features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning for a revitalized underfoot experience. It also has a fine-tuned fit and a breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock to mitigate tongue migration.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Clifton 10 is optimized for road surfaces. While they can handle light, non-technical paths, they are not specifically designed for challenging trail conditions.
What does 'double-lace lock' mean?
The double-lace lock refers to specific eyelets or a lacing technique that helps to secure the shoe tongue and prevent it from shifting sideways during your run, ensuring a more consistent and comfortable fit.
How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
What kind of cushioning do these shoes have?
They feature HOKA's signature ultralight cushioning, designed to provide a plush, comfortable, and shock-absorbing experience for daily mileage.
Are these shoes suitable for walking as well?
Yes, while designed for running, their high level of cushioning and comfort make them an excellent choice for walking and everyday wear as well.
Troubleshooting
Shoe tongue keeps slipping to the side.
Ensure you are using the double-lace lock eyelets at the top of the shoe. This system is designed to secure the tongue and prevent migration. Re-tie your laces, making sure they are snug across the top of your foot.
Feeling discomfort or hot spots during runs.
Check your lacing for overtightening in certain areas. Experiment with different lacing patterns to relieve pressure points. Ensure your socks are breathable and properly fitted. If discomfort persists, check your gait and consider consulting a running specialist.
Shoes feel heavy or waterlogged after a run.
While the shoes offer ultralight cushioning, heavy saturation can occur in wet conditions. After your run, remove insoles, stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, and air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Shoes developing an unpleasant odor.
Allow shoes to fully air out between runs. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside them when not in use. Wash insoles separately or replace them if the odor is persistent.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying a double knot. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques that provide a more secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced snugly but not overly tight. Use all eyelets, especially the top ones, to engage the double-lace lock feature which helps secure the tongue and prevents heel slippage.
- Initial Fit: Wear them around the house for a short period to get accustomed to the fit and cushioning before your first run. Your foot should feel secure with a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Sock Choice: Pair with technical running socks to enhance breathability and moisture-wicking, maximizing the shoe's comfort features.
Compatibility
- Activity: Primarily designed for road running and daily training.
- User: Adult female runners seeking high cushioning and comfort.
- Terrain: Best suited for paved roads, sidewalks, and light urban paths. Not recommended for technical trail running due to its road-specific outsole and cushioning profile.
Care
- Cleaning:
- Remove excess dirt: Gently brush off loose mud or dirt from the upper and outsole.
- Hand wash: Use a mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Rinse thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Drying:
- Air dry: Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Replace paper every few hours.
- Avoid direct heat: Do not place shoes in a dryer, near a radiator, or in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Allow shoes to fully air out between uses to prevent odor and prolong their life.
- Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to air them out and clean them separately if needed.
