FAQs

Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?

The Clifton 10 is ideal for adult male runners who prioritize lightweight cushioning for daily mileage, recovery runs, and everyday training. It's particularly good for those seeking a plush and comfortable ride.

What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous versions?

The Clifton 10 introduces an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning for an enhanced plush underfoot experience. It also features a new breathable jacquard upper and a refined fit with a double-lace lock system.

Can I use the Clifton 10 for speedwork or races?

While the Clifton 10 offers a comfortable and cushioned ride, it is primarily designed for daily training and maintenance miles due to its plush nature. For faster workouts or races, runners may prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe from HOKA's lineup.

How do I clean my Clifton 10 trainers?

Clean your trainers using a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Remove loose dirt with a dry brush after each use. Allow them to air dry completely and avoid machine washing or heat.

Is the HOKA Clifton 10 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the enhanced cushioning and comfort of the Clifton 10 make it a strong candidate for marathon training and even the race itself, especially for runners who prefer a protected and plush feel over many miles.

What does the double-lace lock system do?

The double-lace lock system is designed to provide a more secure and customized fit by preventing the shoe's tongue from migrating or slipping to the side during runs.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Clifton 10?

The HOKA Clifton 10 has an increased heel-to-toe drop of 3mm compared to previous versions, contributing to its plush feel and updated underfoot geometry.

Troubleshooting

Tongue slipping to one side

Utilize the double-lace lock system. Thread the laces through the designated eyelets near the top of the tongue to secure it in place.

Feet feel too hot during runs

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, restricting circulation. The jacquard upper is designed for breathability, but optimal airflow depends on proper lacing and sock choice. Consider moisture-wicking socks.

Discomfort or rubbing on heels

Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure the heel counter is properly engaged by lacing the shoe securely. Break-in period may be required for some users.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While HOKA cushioning is durable, it can compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exceeding their recommended mileage lifespan. Clean out any debris that might be lodged in the midsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional lightweight cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Improved breathability due to the new jacquard upper.
  • Secure fit with the double-lace lock system to prevent tongue slippage.
  • Increased heel cushioning offers a plusher feel.
  • Durable construction suitable for high mileage.

Cons

  • The increased heel-to-toe drop may not suit all running gaits.
  • May feel too soft for runners preferring a firmer, more responsive shoe.
  • The specific red/blue colorway might not appeal to everyone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA Clifton 10 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Lace them up using the provided double-lace system, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit, particularly around the ankle to utilize the tongue lock feature.

Compatibility: These are road running trainers designed for pavement and other hard, even surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners and those who might benefit from a cushioned shoe. They are compatible with most running socks and insoles, though the shoe's inherent cushioning may reduce the need for aftermarket insoles.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Clifton 10s:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
