FAQs
What is the main purpose of the HOKA Clifton 10?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed as a versatile running shoe for daily mileage and maintenance runs, prioritizing lightweight cushioning and comfort.
How does the cushioning compare to previous Clifton models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning, offering a revitalized and plush underfoot experience compared to older versions.
Can these trainers be used for racing?
While comfortable, the Clifton 10 is primarily optimized for daily training and recovery miles due to its substantial cushioning. For faster races, a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe might be preferred.
How do I clean my Clifton 10 trainers?
Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What does the double-lace lock system do?
The double-lace lock system helps to secure the tongue in place, preventing it from shifting or migrating during your run for a more consistent and comfortable fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Clifton 10 offers a standard fit. While the upper is breathable, individuals with very wide feet might want to try them on or consider wider width options if available.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Clifton 10?
The Clifton 10 has an increased heel-to-toe drop of 3mm compared to previous models, resulting in a higher drop that provides a more propulsive feel.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slips during runs.
Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading your laces through the extra eyelets near the ankle collar to secure the tongue in place.
Shoes feel too cushioned or different than expected.
This may be due to the increased heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning. Allow for a 1-2 week break-in period for your feet to adapt.
Upper feels too warm.
Ensure laces are not overtightened, allowing for better airflow through the breathable jacquard upper. Clean any debris from the mesh that might be obstructing ventilation.
