FAQs
Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
The Clifton 10 is ideal for runners of all levels, especially those who prefer maximum cushioning for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. It is particularly beneficial for heavier runners or those seeking joint protection.
What is the main difference between the Clifton 10 and previous models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop and a refined jacquard upper for enhanced breathability and fit. This provides a slightly different underfoot feel and transition compared to earlier versions.
How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?
Clean with a soft brush and cool water with mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are these shoes good for racing?
While very comfortable, the Clifton 10 is primarily designed as a daily trainer due to its focus on plush cushioning. For faster race-day efforts, HOKA offers more specialized racing shoe models.
What is the expected lifespan of the HOKA Clifton 10?
Typically, running shoes like the Clifton 10 last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, intensity, runner's weight, and shoe care.
Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?
While comfortable for walking, the Clifton 10's design is optimized for the biomechanics of running. For other activities like gym training or hiking, specialized footwear is recommended.
What does the 'double-lace lock' feature do?
The double-lace lock system uses additional eyelets near the ankle to allow for a more personalized and secure fit, helping to prevent the tongue from shifting or migrating during your run.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slips during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system by threading the laces through the extra eyelets designed to hold the tongue in place. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Shoes feel too stiff or different
The updated heel-to-toe drop might require a short break-in period. Try shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure the lacing provides a comfortable fit without being too tight.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While durable, cushioning can compress with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity. Consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use, depending on your running style and terrain.
Upper feels tight or causes irritation
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. The jacquard upper is designed for a snug, breathable fit; adjust lacing to relieve pressure points. If irritation persists, consult with a running shoe specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Clifton 10 comes ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred snugness using the double-lace lock system to prevent tongue slippage. The fit is designed to be accommodating, but always test the fit in-store if possible.
Compatibility: These are road running shoes, optimized for pavement and other hard, relatively smooth surfaces. They are not designed for trail running or significant off-road use.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the materials.
