Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (Setup)
The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed for immediate comfort. Follow these tips for an optimal fit:
- Lacing: Utilize the `double-lace lock` system to secure your foot and prevent tongue migration. Adjust the laces evenly to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit.
- Break-in Period: While designed for immediate comfort, the updated 8mm heel-to-toe drop may feel different initially. Consider a few shorter runs or walks to allow your feet to adapt to the new geometry.
- Sizing: Ensure you have adequate space in the toe box (about a thumb's width) to allow for natural foot splay during running.
Compatibility
- Running Surfaces: These shoes are primarily designed for road running and are highly compatible with paved roads, sidewalks, and light, well-groomed trails.
- Foot Type: The Clifton series is generally known for its balanced cushioning, suitable for a wide range of running gaits. The `jacquard knit upper` adapts to different foot shapes.
- Info needed: [Specific foot type suitability (e.g., neutral, mild pronation support) if available from HOKA's technical specifications.]
- Activity: Ideal for daily training, long runs, recovery runs, and general fitness activities where cushioning and comfort are priorities.
Product Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your HOKA Clifton 10 shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the `jacquard knit upper` with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and water to remove dirt and debris from the `Durabrasion Rubber Outsole`.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their integrity.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can degrade the materials and construction of the shoes.
