FAQs
Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is ideal for adult runners who prioritize cushioning and comfort for daily training, maintenance miles, and longer runs. It's suitable for various foot types and running levels.
What is the main difference in this version compared to previous Clifton models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and enhanced heel cushioning for a more plush underfoot experience. It also includes a refined fit and a breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for speedwork or racing?
While lightweight, the Clifton 10 is primarily designed for comfort and cushioning during daily runs. For dedicated speedwork or racing, a more responsive shoe might be preferred.
How do I clean my Clifton 10 trainers?
Clean your trainers using a soft brush to remove dry dirt, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What is the purpose of the double-lace lock system?
The double-lace lock system is designed to prevent the tongue from migrating or slipping to the side during your run, ensuring a more secure and consistent fit.
Is the Clifton 10 suitable for wet conditions?
The trainers are suitable for running in light rain, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may lead to wet feet. Ensure they are properly dried afterward.
What is the typical lifespan of the HOKA Clifton 10?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, terrain, and individual biomechanics. Generally, the Clifton 10 is expected to perform well for 300-500 miles before the cushioning significantly degrades.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slipping during runs
Ensure you are using the double-lace lock system correctly by lacing through both loops on the tongue. Check that laces are tied securely.
Discomfort with heel drop
If you experience discomfort due to the 3mm increase in heel-to-toe drop, try incorporating shorter runs initially and gradually increasing mileage as your body adapts. Ensure the shoe size is correct.
Shoes feel too warm
The breathable jacquard upper is designed for ventilation. If overheating persists, ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Consider lighter socks for warmer weather.
Reduced cushioning over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. If you've accumulated significant miles (typically 300-500 miles), it may be time to consider a new pair.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
