FAQs
What type of running is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
The Clifton 10 is best suited for daily training runs, recovery jogs, and longer, steady-paced efforts on roads or paved surfaces, thanks to its plush cushioning and smooth ride.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which is an update designed to provide a smoother underfoot experience and more natural gait.
How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 running shoes?
It is recommended to hand wash your shoes with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the upper and outsole, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does 'Meta-Rocker Geometry' do?
HOKA's Meta-Rocker Geometry is designed to facilitate a smooth and efficient heel-to-toe transition, creating a rolling motion that enhances your natural gait cycle.
How durable is the outsole of the Clifton 10?
The Clifton 10 features a Durabrasion Rubber Outsole, which is strategically placed in high-wear areas to enhance durability and provide reliable traction on various road surfaces for long-lasting use.
Is the Clifton 10 suitable for speed work or racing?
While versatile, the Clifton 10's primary focus is on plush comfort and everyday miles. For dedicated speed work or racing, some runners might prefer a shoe with a firmer, more responsive feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoe tongue slips or moves during my run.
Utilize the integrated double-lace lock feature. Lace through the extra eyelets at the top to create a tighter loop that secures the tongue in place.
Feet feel too warm or sweaty.
The jacquard knit upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a different lacing pattern to reduce pressure on the top of the foot.
Not feeling enough cushioning or shoe feels 'flat'.
Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses over time. The compression-molded EVA foam has a lifespan. Assess your mileage; most running shoes last between 300-500 miles. If you're past this, it may be time for a new pair.
Heel slipping or shoe feels loose.
Ensure you are using all available eyelets for lacing, including the top eyelet to create a 'heel lock' lace. This can significantly improve heel security and overall fit. Make sure the lacing is snug through the midfoot.

Setup & First Use

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes and maintains their performance.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your shoes using mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub the jacquard knit upper and outsole with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Rotation: Consider rotating your Clifton 10 with another pair of running shoes to allow the cushioning to decompress and prolong their lifespan, especially if you run frequently.
