FAQs
Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 designed for?
The Clifton 10 is designed for adult runners, particularly women, looking for a highly cushioned and lightweight shoe for daily training, recovery runs, and long-distance running on roads.
What is the main update in the Clifton 10 compared to previous models?
The primary update is an additional 3mm in the heel-to-toe drop, providing a revitalized and more plush underfoot experience, along with refinements to the fit and a breathable jacquard upper.
How do I clean my Clifton 10 trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, using a soft brush if needed. Always air dry them away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.
What is the benefit of the double-lace lock system?
The double-lace lock system helps to secure the tongue and prevent it from migrating or slipping during your run, ensuring a more consistent and comfortable fit.
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the Clifton 10 is primarily designed for daily training and comfort rather than high-performance racing. For speed-focused races, a lighter, more responsive shoe might be preferred.
What surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
They are best suited for road running on paved surfaces and treadmills. They can also handle light, well-groomed trails.
How long can I expect the cushioning to last?
The lifespan of the cushioning typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Replace the shoes when the cushioning feels significantly reduced.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slipping during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system provided. Thread the laces through the additional eyelets near the ankle to secure the tongue in place.
Discomfort with the heel-to-toe drop
If you are new to this drop height, allow your body a gradual adaptation period. Start with shorter runs and gradually increase mileage as your body adjusts.
Shoes feel too warm
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The jacquard upper is designed for breathability, but very thick socks can reduce airflow.
Reduced cushioning over time
Cushioning can naturally degrade after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacement if the impact absorption feels diminished.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have tied them properly using the lacing system for optimal fit and security.
Compatibility: Designed for road running on paved surfaces, treadmills, and light trails. They are suitable for all adult runners prioritizing cushioning and comfort.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and structure.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
