FAQs
What is the primary use case for the HOKA Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed as a versatile trainer for daily maintenance miles and everyday road running, offering a balance of lightweight cushioning and comfort.
How does the Clifton 10 differ from previous versions?
This version features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop, enhanced heel cushioning for more comfort, a refined fit, and a breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and lightweight design make them well-suited for marathon training, particularly for daily runs and recovery miles.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for trail running?
While they can handle light, well-groomed paths, they are primarily designed for road running. Their tread and cushioning are optimized for pavement, not technical trails.
How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 trainers?
Gently clean with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 features a 3mm increase in heel-to-toe drop compared to previous models, resulting in a higher drop for enhanced comfort.
What does 'double-lace lock system' mean?
It refers to an additional eyelet or loop integrated into the tongue's design, allowing for an extra level of secure lacing to prevent the tongue from shifting during activity.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slips to one side during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system by feeding the laces through the additional loop on the tongue to secure it in place.
Shoes feel too tight after initial wear
Ensure laces are not overtightened. If the fit remains too snug, consider if a half-size larger might be more comfortable, especially if you have wider feet or prefer more room.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While the Clifton 10 is durable, cushioning can naturally degrade with high mileage. Ensure you are not exceeding the typical lifespan for running shoes (typically 300-500 miles).
Feet feel warm during runs
The jacquard upper is breathable, but ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Avoid wearing thick, non-breathable socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Clifton 10 comes ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Lacing can be adjusted using the double-lace lock system for a personalized, secure fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running. While they can be used for general fitness activities, they are not optimized for trail running due to their tread and cushioning designed for hard surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
