HOKA Clifton 10 Road Running Shoes - Black - UK 8.5

The Clifton 10 is ideal for neutral runners looking for maximum cushioning for daily training, recovery runs, and even longer distances like half-marathons and marathons.

This version features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning for enhanced comfort, along with a refined fit and a breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system.

The standard width is designed for average foot shapes. While the upper has some give, those with significantly wide feet may find a wider version more comfortable if available, or may need to consider other models.

While they offer excellent cushioning, the Clifton 10 is primarily designed for training. For faster race-day performance, HOKA offers lighter, more responsive racing-specific models.

With proper care and maintenance, the Clifton 10 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles, depending on the runner's weight, gait, and the surfaces they run on.

Gently clean the jacquard upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading the laces through the designated eyelets near the top of the shoe to secure the tongue in place.

Loosen the laces and re-lace the shoes, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. The jacquard upper may require a few runs to break in.

While designed for durability, cushioning does naturally decrease over time. Consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use, depending on running style and terrain.

Allow your body time to adapt to the increased 3mm heel-to-toe drop. Incorporate shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage as your muscles and tendons adjust.
