HOKA Clifton 10 - White, Size UK 2

The HOKA Clifton 10 is designed for neutral runners seeking a highly cushioned and comfortable shoe for daily training and long-distance road running. It's ideal for those who prioritize plushness and impact absorption.

The Smooth MetaRocker™ is a unique midsole geometry that features a low heel-to-toe drop and a sculpted outsole, creating a fulcrum effect. This design is engineered to propel you forward and promote a smooth, efficient transition through your gait cycle.

The typical lifespan for running shoes like the Clifton 10 is between 300-500 miles, or approximately 4-6 months for regular runners. This can vary based on your running style, body weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as decreased cushioning or persistent discomfort.

While the Clifton 10s offer comfort, their primary design is for forward motion running. For activities requiring significant lateral movement, stability, or heavy lifting, a dedicated cross-training shoe would provide better support and performance.

Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel secure but not tight, and your heel should not slip excessively. Try on shoes at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and always wear your typical running socks.

CMEVA stands for Compression-Moulded Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. It's a type of foam used in the midsole that provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption. HOKA's CMEVA is specifically engineered to offer their signature plush feel while remaining durable.

Check your lacing. The double-lace lock allows for adjustment; try loosening the laces slightly, especially over the forefoot. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks.

Ensure the shoe size is correct. Check for any bunched-up socks. Allow for a short break-in period. If issues persist, consult a running specialist for gait analysis.

This can sometimes occur from moisture trapped between the sockliner and the midsole. Remove the moulded EVA sockliner, clean and dry both surfaces, then reinsert. If it persists, it might indicate wear.

Running shoes, especially highly cushioned ones, have a lifespan. The CMEVA midsole will naturally compress over many miles. Consider replacing your shoes typically between 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and body weight.

Regularly remove the sockliners and air out the shoes after each run. For persistent odors, use baking soda inside the shoes or a shoe deodorizer spray. Avoid sealing damp shoes in a gym bag.
