How much does a HOKA Clifton 10 weigh?
This model of the HOKA Clifton 10 (Women's, UK 5) weighs approximately 226 grams (7.97 oz).
Is the Clifton 10 suitable for runners with wide feet?
The new jacquard mesh upper aims to improve forefoot fit. Info needed: [While HOKA sometimes offers wide versions, please check product specifications or consult a shoe specialist if you require a wider fit.]
How often should I replace my HOKA Clifton 10s?
The typical lifespan for running shoes is between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Listen to your body; if the cushioning feels 'dead' or you start experiencing new aches, it might be time for a replacement.
Can I use the Clifton 10 for speed work or races?
While you certainly can, the Clifton 10's primary design focuses on plush comfort for daily training. For optimal performance in speed work or races, many runners prefer shoes with a more responsive, firmer feel.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides to the side during run.
Ensure you are using the double-lace lock system correctly. Thread the laces through both sets of eyelets on the tongue to secure it in place. Re-tie your laces, paying attention to even tension.
Shoes feel too stiff initially.
The Clifton 10 requires a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter runs (e.g., 2-3 miles) before tackling longer distances. The cushioning will soften and adapt over time.
Reduced cushioning or 'dead' feeling underfoot.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles depending on usage and runner weight. If you're past this range, it might be time for a new pair. Ensure you're storing them correctly when not in use.
Forefoot feels too tight or too loose.
Check your lacing. For tightness, try skipping the first eyelet or loosening the laces across the forefoot. For looseness, ensure a snug fit by tightening the laces evenly from toe to ankle. Consider if a different size or width might be needed for future purchases. Info needed: [Confirm available widths.]
Squeaking sound while walking/running.
This is rare but can occur. It might be due to the sockliner rubbing against the midsole. Try removing the sockliner, sprinkling a little baby powder underneath it, and then replacing it. If the issue persists, inspect for any debris or foreign objects caught in the outsole or upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unboxing & First Fit: Take your new Clifton 10s out of the box. Ensure you try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running.
Lacing: Utilize the double-lace lock system by ensuring the laces pass through both eyelets on either side of the tongue. This helps secure the tongue and prevents it from shifting during your run. Lace firmly but not too tightly to avoid pressure points.
Break-in Period: While HOKA shoes are often comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short runs (3-5 miles) to let the shoe fully adapt to your foot and gait.
Compatibility
Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners or those who use mild orthotics. Its generous cushioning is beneficial for a wide range of foot strikes.
Running Surfaces: Optimized for road running, paved trails, and treadmills. The outsole provides sufficient grip for these conditions.
Gender: This specific model is designed for Female runners.
Size: This guide is for UK Size 5.
Care Instructions
Cleaning: To clean your Clifton 10s, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water to wipe away grime. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can degrade materials.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the sockliners and allow them to air dry. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
