Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Initial Fit Check: When first trying on your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes, ensure you have adequate space in the toe box, typically about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Pay close attention to the special sizing note: if you're an existing HOKA user, consider going half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. If you're new to HOKA, stick with your usual size.
- Lacing: Utilize the double-lace lock system to secure the shoe tongue and achieve a snug, comfortable fit across your midfoot. Adjust laces evenly to prevent pressure points. Ensure laces are tied securely to avoid loosening during your run.
Compatibility
- Gender: Designed for Female runners.
- Age Group: Suitable for adults.
- Running Surface: Optimized for road running due to its cushioning and durable rubber outsole.
- Foot Type: The Active Foot Frame provides adaptive support, making it generally suitable for a range of foot types, from neutral to those requiring mild stability.
Care
Caring for your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes will help maintain their performance and extend their lifespan.
- Cleaning: Gently clean the Textile & Synthetic Upper with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and cushioning. For the Synthetic Sole, a soft brush can remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or degrade.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing insoles occasionally to air them out.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, you can use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and smells.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear. Excessive wear on specific areas may indicate a need for replacement or a change in running form.
