FAQs
What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous versions?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop for enhanced plushness and a refined underfoot experience, along with an updated breathable jacquard upper and improved lace lock system.
Are these shoes suitable for someone with wide feet?
The Clifton 10 offers a standard fit. While the design accommodates natural foot splay, individuals with significantly wide feet might find the standard width restrictive. It is recommended to check for wide-fit versions if available or try them on if possible.
How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 trainers?
Clean gently with a soft brush or cloth and cool water. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution applied sparingly. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What type of running are these shoes best for?
They are best suited for daily maintenance runs, long-distance training, recovery runs, and general fitness activities where maximum cushioning and comfort are desired.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running. While they can handle very light, well-maintained trails, their outsole and cushioning are optimized for pavement and harder surfaces.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 has a heel-to-toe drop of 5mm.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While many find them comfortable immediately due to the plush cushioning, a short break-in period of a few runs might be beneficial for some runners to adapt to the feel and fit.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slips to the side during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system provided on the upper eyelets to secure the tongue in place.
Feet feel too warm during runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, allowing for better air circulation. The jacquard upper is breathable, but excessive lacing can restrict airflow.
Shoes feel less stable than expected
Verify that the shoe size is correct and fits snugly. The increased cushioning can feel different; allow a brief break-in period to adapt to the shoe's geometry.
Reduced performance on faster runs
The Clifton 10 is optimized for comfort and cushioning over speed. For faster workouts or races, consider a more performance-oriented shoe from HOKA's range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The HOKA Clifton 10 comes ready to wear. Ensure the shoes are laced appropriately for your foot, utilizing the double-lace lock feature if desired to secure the tongue and prevent slippage. The fit should be snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box for natural foot splay.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are best suited for neutral runners who benefit from substantial cushioning. They are compatible with most standard running socks. While they can handle light trail use on well-maintained paths, their outsole is optimized for pavement.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
