FAQs
What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous models?
The Clifton 10 features an updated midsole with an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop for a more plush underfoot experience, and a refined breathable jacquard upper with a double-lace lock system.
Are the HOKA Clifton 10 trainers suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and lightweight design make them an excellent choice for marathon training and race day, providing comfort and support over long distances.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running. While they can handle light, well-maintained paths, they lack the aggressive traction and protective features needed for technical trails.
How do I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 trainers?
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the purpose of the double-lace lock system?
The double-lace lock system is designed to help secure the foot more effectively and prevent the tongue of the shoe from migrating or slipping out of place during your run.
Is the wider base of HOKA shoes stable?
Yes, HOKA's signature wide platform is engineered to provide inherent stability and support, offering a secure base without the need for traditional stability posts.
What is the recommended usage for the Clifton 10?
The Clifton 10 is best suited for daily mileage, recovery runs, long runs, and general fitness activities where comfort and cushioning are prioritized.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slipping during runs
Utilize the double-lace lock system provided on the upper. Re-lace the shoes, ensuring the laces go through the designated eyelets to secure the tongue in place.
Discomfort or blisters on first few runs
This may be due to the new cushioning and heel-to-toe drop. Ensure proper lacing and allow your feet a break-in period of 1-2 runs of shorter duration.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Check for debris or wear on the outsole and midsole. Clean the shoes according to care instructions. If the issue persists, the cushioning may have naturally compressed with use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers traction, wet surfaces can reduce grip for any shoe. Run with caution and be mindful of your footing on slick conditions.
