FAQs

What is the main benefit of the HOKA Clifton 10?

The main benefit is its exceptional lightweight cushioning and plush comfort, making it ideal for daily training runs and reducing impact on joints.

How does the heel-to-toe drop differ from previous models?

The Clifton 10 transitions from a 5mm drop to an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which is designed to provide a smoother underfoot experience and promote a more natural gait cycle.

Is the upper material breathable?

Yes, the engineered jacquard knit upper is designed to be breathable, providing a comfortable and adaptive fit that allows air circulation.

Can I use the Clifton 10 for racing?

While very comfortable, the Clifton 10 is primarily designed for daily training and comfort. For faster race-day performance, a lighter, more responsive shoe might be preferred.

How should I clean my Clifton 10 shoes?

Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

What type of surfaces is the outsole suitable for?

The Durabrasion rubber outsole is strategically placed for enhanced durability and reliable traction on various surfaces, including roads and light trails.

Does the shoe offer good stability?

The Clifton 10 provides a stable platform due to its inherent design and cushioning, offering a secure ride for daily miles.

Troubleshooting

Tongue slides to one side

Utilize the double-lace lock system provided. Ensure laces are threaded through the dedicated eyelets near the top of the tongue before tying.

Shoe feels too soft or lacks responsiveness

This is characteristic of the Clifton's plush cushioning. If a firmer feel is desired for speedwork, consider a different shoe model. For daily runs, this softness aids in comfort.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the Durabrasion rubber offers reliable grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction for any shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For very slick surfaces, exercise caution.
