HOKA Clifton 10 Road Running Shoes - Grey/Grey - UK 5.5

The Clifton 10 is ideal for neutral runners seeking a highly cushioned and lightweight shoe for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.

The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop for a revitalized underfoot feel and an updated breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system for improved fit.

While they offer excellent cushioning for long distances, they are primarily designed as a daily trainer. For racing, some runners may prefer a lighter, more responsive racing shoe, though the Clifton 10 can be used by those who prioritize maximum cushioning.

The increase of 3mm in heel-to-toe drop is subtle and aims to enhance the transition. However, runners accustomed to lower drops might notice it and could require a short adjustment period.

Clean them with a damp cloth or soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry naturally.

The standard width is designed for a typical foot. Check for specific wide-width (2E for men, D for women) versions if available, though this guide focuses on the standard model.

The double-lace lock system consists of additional eyelets near the ankle collar that allow for a more secure lockdown, specifically to prevent the shoe's tongue from shifting during runs.

Utilize the double-lace lock system. Thread the laces through the extra eyelets near the ankle collar to secure the tongue in place.

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The breathable jacquard upper is designed for ventilation; if persistent, consider thinner socks.

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage as they adapt to your foot.

Check your running gait for any imbalances. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate pronation or supination issues that may require professional assessment.
