HOKA Clifton 10 Road Running Shoes - Blue - Size 2.5Y

While the Clifton 10 offers excellent cushioning, it is designed as a running shoe. For toddlers just starting to walk, a shoe with more ankle support and a more flexible sole might be more appropriate. Consult with a footwear specialist for the best options for early walkers.

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when the child is standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should not feel constricted.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and materials. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best method.

The Kid's Clifton 10 is a scaled-down version of the adult model, incorporating the same cushioning and performance technology but adapted for a child's foot. It also features a more durable toe cap and potentially brighter colorways suited for children.

Children's feet grow rapidly. It's recommended to check their shoe size every 3-4 months, or whenever you notice signs that the shoes may be getting too small, such as discomfort or difficulty putting them on.

The Clifton 10 is primarily designed for road running and general wear. The durable rubber outsole provides good traction on pavements, tracks, and dry, smooth trails.

Refer to the HOKA sizing guide and ensure the correct UK youth size is selected. Adjust lacing if applicable to customize fit.

This is a cosmetic issue due to wear and tear. While functionality may slightly decrease, the shoe's core performance is unaffected. Clean gently and avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Check for significant wear on the tread pattern.
