FAQs
What kind of running are the HOKA Clifton 10s best suited for?
These shoes are specifically designed for urban and daily road running. Their cushioning and lightweight build make them ideal for maintenance miles on paved surfaces.
How has the cushioning been updated in the Clifton 10?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning, providing an even more plush and revitalized underfoot experience.
What is the purpose of the double-lace lock system?
The double-lace lock system is a new feature designed to prevent the shoe's tongue from migrating or sliding during your run, ensuring a consistently secure and comfortable fit.
Are these shoes lightweight, considering their cushioning?
Yes, the HOKA Clifton 10 maintains its reputation for ultralight cushioning, making it impressively lightweight despite its substantial comfort features.
Are the HOKA Clifton 10 available in wide sizes?
While this specific variant is standard width, HOKA often offers 'XW' or 'Wide' options in the Clifton series. Check other product variants for wider sizes if needed.
How often should I consider replacing my HOKA Clifton 10s?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or sooner if you notice significant wear on the outsole or a decrease in cushioning and support.
Who is the target user for these shoes?
These HOKA Clifton 10 shoes are designed for adult female runners who prioritize cushioning, comfort, and a lightweight feel for their daily road running activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoe tongue slides to the side during runs.
Ensure you are utilizing the double-lace lock system fully when lacing your shoes. This feature is specifically designed to mitigate tongue migration. Tighten laces evenly for a secure fit.
Shoes feel less cushioned or supportive over time.
Running shoes have a finite lifespan. If you've logged significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), the cushioning materials may have compressed. Consider replacing your shoes to maintain optimal support and impact absorption.
Discomfort or rubbing in specific areas, especially with the refined fit.
Verify you are wearing the correct size. Ensure appropriate running socks are used to prevent friction. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your foot and for your feet to adjust to the refined heel and forefoot design.

Care
- Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Lifespan: Running shoes generally last between 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor the outsole wear and cushioning feel to determine when replacement is needed for continued performance and injury prevention.
