FAQs
Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
It's ideal for adult female runners who prioritize maximum cushioning for daily training, road running, and covering long distances comfortably. It's also a good option for those seeking plush comfort for everyday wear.
What is the main difference from previous Clifton models?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop for a more plush and revitalized underfoot experience, along with an updated breathable jacquard upper and a double-lace lock system.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and comfort make them an excellent choice for marathon training, especially for logging high-mileage training weeks.
Are they suitable for walking?
Absolutely. The superior cushioning and comfort make them very suitable for walking and general everyday use.
How do I clean my Clifton 10 trainers?
Gently clean the upper and midsole with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the purpose of the double-lace lock system?
The double-lace lock system is designed to keep the tongue from shifting or migrating during your run, ensuring a consistent and secure fit throughout your activity.
Are these waterproof?
No, the Clifton 10 trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, not water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slipping during runs
Ensure you are using the double-lace lock system. Thread the laces through the designated eyelets near the ankle to secure the tongue in place.
Slight discomfort with new drop
This is common with an increased heel-to-toe drop. Gradually increase mileage over the first few runs to allow your body to adapt. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist.
Shoes feel too warm
While the upper is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For extreme heat, consider alternative models with even more ventilation if this persists.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road grip. While generally good, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery road conditions.
