FAQs

What kind of cushioning does the HOKA Clifton 10 offer?

It features a plush CMEVA midsole, providing a high level of soft cushioning for a forgiving impact and comfortable ride.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?

The HOKA Clifton 10 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, with an additional 3mm under the heel for enhanced comfort and a classic Clifton feel.

Is the Clifton 10 suitable for speed training?

While it can be used for various runs, its primary design focus is on plush comfort and daily mileage. Runners prioritizing high-speed workouts or a very responsive feel might find it less ideal compared to shoes designed specifically for speed.

How does the 'double lace lock' feature work?

The double lace lock is designed to mitigate tongue migration. By utilizing both loops on the tongue when lacing, it helps keep the tongue securely in place, preventing it from sliding to the side during your run.

What is the weight of the HOKA Clifton 10?

The HOKA Clifton 10 (Women's UK 3) weighs approximately 227.00 g.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

These shoes are best for road running and walking. While the outsole is durable, it's not designed with the aggressive grip or protection typically needed for varied and technical trail terrains.

How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals to preserve the shoe's materials and structure.

Troubleshooting

Tongue slides to the side during runs.

This can often be resolved by properly utilizing the shoe's double lace lock feature. Thread your laces through both loops on the tongue to secure it in place.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after a short period.

Re-check your lacing. Ensure laces are snug but not constricting. Also, verify your size; foot swelling can occur during exercise, so consider trying them on after a walk or run. The improved forefoot fit might require a break-in period for some.

Less responsive feel compared to other running shoes.

The Clifton 10 is designed for plush cushioning and comfort, which inherently offers less 'ground feel' or 'responsiveness' than minimalist or racing flats. This is a characteristic of its design for daily maintenance miles rather than speed work. Allow yourself time to adapt to the highly cushioned ride.

Premature wear on the outsole.

Ensure the shoes are primarily used for road running and walking, as intended. Running on abrasive surfaces like trails or gravel can accelerate wear on the inherently durable abrasion rubber outsole.

Foot feels unstable, even with Active Foot Frame.

While designed for neutral stability, ensure your lacing is secure, especially around the midfoot. If instability persists, consider getting your gait analyzed by a running specialist to ensure this shoe type is the best match for your biomechanics.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional plush cushioning for daily comfort and long-distance runs.
  • Revitalized underfoot experience with an enhanced heel-to-toe drop for a classic feel.
  • Improved forefoot fit and breathable jacquard knit upper for optimal comfort.
  • Inherently stable ride due to refined midsole geometry and Active Foot Frame™.
  • Double lace lock feature effectively prevents tongue migration, ensuring a secure fit.
  • Durable outsole rubber designed for extended wear on road surfaces.

Cons

  • The plush cushioning may feel less responsive for runners prioritizing speed workouts.
  • Primarily designed for road running and walking, not ideal for trail or technical terrain.
  • Weight of 227g (UK 3, approx.) might be considered slightly heavier by some minimal shoe enthusiasts.

Setup

  1. Lacing: Loosen the laces completely before putting on the shoes. This allows your foot to slide in easily and ensures a proper initial fit.
  2. Foot Placement: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel cup. The Rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame™ is designed to cradle your foot, so ensure it feels secure.
  3. Tightening: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom eyelets upwards. Ensure they are snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during activity. Utilize the double lace lock feature by threading the laces through both loops on the tongue to prevent migration.
  4. Fit Check: Stand up and walk a few steps. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel secure around the midfoot and heel, with no pinching or excessive pressure.

Compatibility

  • Best For: Road Running, Walking.
  • Foot Type: Neutral runners. The shoe provides a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies.

Care

  • Cleaning: After use, especially if dirty, gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in a car or damp environments to prolong their lifespan.
  • Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb smells.
