Product Information
Full details
The Hoka One One Clifton 10 Wide is designed for adult male runners seeking a lightweight, plush, and stable shoe for their daily training miles on asphalt. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort and a revitalized underfoot experience, thanks to updated cushioning and an increased heel-to-toe drop. A potential caveat is that the 'wide' fit may not suit all foot shapes, and experienced runners might prefer a firmer ride for speedwork. This neutral trainer offers ultralight cushioning, a breathable jacquard upper, and a Meta-Rocker geometry for a smooth stride, making it a reliable choice for everyday mileage.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Hoka Clifton 10 Wide best suited for?
It is ideal for neutral runners who need a well-cushioned, comfortable, and stable shoe for daily training miles on asphalt and paved surfaces.
How does the 'Wide' fit differ from a standard fit?
The 'Wide' fit provides more volume and space in the forefoot and midfoot areas, accommodating runners who find standard widths constricting.
Can I use these shoes for marathon running?
Yes, their plush cushioning and comfort make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners prioritizing impact protection over a very responsive feel.
Are these shoes good for speedwork or racing?
While comfortable, the Clifton 10 Wide is primarily designed for daily training and comfort. Runners seeking a shoe specifically for fast-paced workouts or races might prefer a lighter, more responsive model.
How should I clean my Clifton 10 Wide shoes?
Clean them with a soft brush to remove dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10 Wide?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm, providing a balanced feel between the heel and forefoot.
How much do the Clifton 10 Wide shoes weigh?
The Hoka Clifton 10 Wide weighs approximately 278 grams for a men's size 9.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides to one side during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading the laces through the designated loops on the tongue to keep it centered.
Feet feel too warm or sweaty
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, allowing for better air circulation. For persistent issues, consider moisture-wicking socks.
Discomfort in the forefoot or midfoot
Verify that the laces are adjusted correctly, providing enough room. If discomfort persists, the 'wide' fit may still not be sufficient, and a different shoe model might be more appropriate.
Slipping at the heel
Adjust the lacing to create a more secure heel lock. Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width for your feet.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended lifespan of the shoe and consider replacing them when the impact absorption feels significantly reduced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Hoka One One Clifton 10 Wide requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up using the provided eyelets and the double-lace lock system to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied comfortably, not too tight to restrict blood flow, but snug enough to prevent heel slippage.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are best suited for road running and daily training on asphalt or paved surfaces. They are compatible with most standard running socks. The wide fit is ideal for runners who require more room in the forefoot and midfoot.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Clifton 10 Wide:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
