FAQs

Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 for?

The HOKA Clifton 10 is primarily for adult runners seeking a highly cushioned and comfortable shoe for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. It's also suitable for individuals who spend a lot of time on their feet and prefer maximum shock absorption.

What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous models?

The Clifton 10 features an updated 8mm heel-to-toe drop (up from 5mm in some previous models), offering more pronounced support for heel strikers and potentially reducing strain on the posterior chain.

How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 trainers?

Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water with a soft brush. Always air dry away from heat.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Clifton 10 is designed for road running and general training. While they might handle very light, smooth gravel paths, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical trails.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?

The HOKA Clifton 10 has an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the plush cushioning and smooth ride make the Clifton 10 an excellent choice for marathon training and even for the race itself, especially for runners who prioritize comfort and impact protection over a highly responsive feel.

What does 'CMEVA' stand for?

CMEVA stands for Compression-moulded EVA, a type of cushioning material known for its durability and shock-absorbing properties, which provides the signature Hoka ride.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after first wear.

Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. The jacquard mesh upper is designed to flex and adapt, but it may take a short time.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (running/walking) and not subjected to excessive wear or harsh conditions. Cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.

Slipping occurs on wet surfaces.

The outsole is designed for road running. While it offers good grip, extreme wet conditions may reduce traction. Avoid highly polished or very wet surfaces if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for comfort during long runs and daily training.
  • Smooth and stable ride that aids in reducing fatigue.
  • Breathable and adaptable upper for a comfortable fit.
  • Improved support for heel strikers due to the increased heel-to-toe drop.
  • Durable construction for extended use.

Cons

  • The 8mm drop might require an adjustment period for runners accustomed to lower drops.
  • May feel less responsive for runners seeking a very fast, minimalist feel.
  • The wider Hoka platform might not suit those with very narrow feet without additional adjustments.
  • Colorway (Varsity Navy and Black) might not appeal to all preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA Clifton 10 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (this guide refers to UK size 8).

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general training. They are compatible with most running socks. While not designed for technical trail running, they can handle light, well-maintained gravel paths.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: To clean, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water, and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shoe.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Rotation: For best longevity and performance, consider rotating your Clifton 10s with another pair of running shoes if you run frequently.
