Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed for adult male runners seeking a lightweight, plush shoe for everyday maintenance miles. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort and a revitalized underfoot experience due to increased cushioning and a refined heel-to-toe drop. A potential caveat is that the increased cushioning might feel less responsive for runners who prefer a firmer ride. This iteration features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop, extra heel cushioning, a breathable jacquard upper, and double-lace lock for a secure fit, all built on HOKA's signature ultralight cushioning.

FAQs

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 extra heel cushioning for an even plusher and smoother ride, along with an updated breathable jacquard upper and a double-lace lock system.

Is the HOKA Clifton 10 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Clifton 10 is excellent for marathon training and racing due to its exceptional cushioning and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances.

How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Clean with a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher grime, use mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth. Always air dry and avoid machine washing or direct heat.

What type of running is the Clifton 10 best for?

It is best suited for everyday miles, recovery runs, long-distance running, and general training where comfort and cushioning are prioritized.

Does the Clifton 10 offer good stability?

The Clifton 10 provides a stable platform through its inherent cushioning and design geometry, making it suitable for neutral runners. It is not a stability shoe designed for significant overpronation.

What is the purpose of the double-lace lock on the Clifton 10?

The double-lace lock system is designed to prevent the shoe's tongue from migrating or sliding to the side during your run, ensuring a consistently secure and comfortable fit.

Can I use these shoes for speed work or racing?

While comfortable, the Clifton 10's primary design is for cushioning and everyday miles. For faster workouts or races where maximum responsiveness is desired, you might consider lighter, more performance-oriented racing shoes.

Troubleshooting

Tongue slides to the side during runs.

Utilize the double-lace lock system integrated into the upper to secure the tongue in place. Ensure laces are tied snugly.

Shoes feel too soft or lack responsiveness.

This is characteristic of the Clifton's plush cushioning. For a firmer feel, consider other models. Ensure the laces are tied securely to maximize any perceived responsiveness.

Discomfort in the heel.

Verify that the lacing system, particularly the heel lock, is adjusted correctly for your foot shape. Ensure you are using the appropriate sock thickness.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

While the Durabrasion Rubber outsole provides good grip, traction can be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions.
