HOKA Clifton - Black - UK 5

These shoes are best suited for daily training runs, long-distance road running, and recovery runs on paved surfaces.

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush for the outsole. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.

The HOKA Clifton 10 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

While the Clifton 10 is known for out-of-the-box comfort, a few short runs can help the shoes mold to your feet and maximize comfort for longer distances.

The MetaRocker is a rockered sole geometry that encourages a smooth and efficient transition from heel strike to toe-off, helping to propel you forward.

The Active Foot Frame design cradles your foot deeper within the shoe's midsole, providing integrated stability and support without feeling restrictive.

The Clifton series is generally considered accommodating. The Active Foot Frame provides adaptable stability. Info needed: [Specifics on arch support or width options if available from manufacturer]

Double-check the sizing guidance: existing HOKA users should size down half a UK size for the Clifton 10, while new users should stick to their usual size. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot.

Ensure your shoes are laced properly, not too tight or too loose. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Make sure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Allow for a short break-in period if they are brand new.

Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses with use. The typical lifespan for running shoes is 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style and weight. If you're past this mileage, it might be time for a new pair.

The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed with a durable rubber outsole optimized for road running. If you're experiencing lack of grip, ensure you're using them on appropriate surfaces (pavement, track) and not on slippery or highly uneven off-road terrain.

Remove the sockliners and allow them to air out completely after each run. For persistent odor, sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and sockliners overnight, then shake it out. You can also hand wash sockliners with mild soap and water.
