Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Clifton 10 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a plush, cushioned, and smooth ride for their daily runs. Its key benefit lies in enhanced comfort and reduced impact, especially for heel strikers, thanks to an increased heel-to-toe drop and improved cushioning. A potential caveat for some users might be the higher heel-to-toe drop compared to previous models, which could require an adjustment period. This iteration features a breathable jacquard mesh upper for a snug yet flexible fit, a double lace loop to prevent tongue slippage, and a compression-moulded EVA outsole for that signature HOKA feel.

FAQs
What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous models?
The Clifton 10 features an increased 8mm heel-to-toe drop (up from 5mm) and enhanced cushioning under the heel for improved comfort and support, especially for heel strikers.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Clifton 10's plush cushioning and smooth ride make them an excellent choice for marathon training and racing, offering comfort over long distances.
How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 trainers?
Gently spot clean with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The Clifton 10 is versatile but particularly beneficial for heel strikers due to its enhanced heel cushioning and the 8mm drop, promoting a smoother transition.
Can I use these for cross-training or gym workouts?
While designed for running, the cushioning provides comfort for general fitness activities. However, for activities requiring lateral stability, a dedicated training shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure a secure fit with the tongue?
Use the double lace loop system by threading your laces through both loops to keep the tongue centered and prevent slippage.
What is the weight of the HOKA Clifton 10?
The Clifton 10 is designed to be lightweight, maintaining HOKA's reputation for providing substantial cushioning without excessive weight.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slips to one side during run.
Utilize the double lace loop system by threading your laces through both loops to secure the tongue in place.
Shoes feel too firm or stiff initially.
This is common with new cushioning. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase mileage to allow the cushioning to break in.
Feet feel warm during runs.
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The breathable jacquard mesh is designed for ventilation; check for any obstructions in the mesh.
Discomfort with the heel-to-toe drop.
If you are new to an 8mm drop, allow a gradual transition period. Start with shorter runs and consult with a running professional if discomfort persists.
