Features
The HOKA Clifton 10 delivers more cushion with the same comfort.
Step into effortless strides with the HOKA Clifton 10, the latest iteration of one of the most beloved daily trainers out there. Featuring plush cushioning, a smooth ride and a secure yet roomy fit, the Clifton 10 delivers everything runners love—plus a little extra protection underfoot.
Whether you're logging daily miles, heading out for a recovery run or just looking for a cushioned shoe for all-day wear, the Clifton 10 is your go-to for comfort and performance.
Details:
- Upper: The engineered mesh upper provides breathability and a secure, adaptable fit. A flared heel collar reduces friction, while a wide, padded tongue ensures comfort and lockdown.
- Midsole: Compression-molded EVA foam offers soft, responsive cushioning that balances plushness with stability. The updated 8 mm drop gives you smooth transitions and an easy ride.
- Outsole: Strategic Durabrasion rubber placement ensures durability and traction while keeping weight to a minimum.
What's New
The Clifton 10 maintains the smooth, cushioned ride runners love while adding subtle refinements. The biggest update is an increased stack height in the heel, shifting the drop from 5 mm to 8 mm for a slightly different ride. Extra cushioning provides even more impact protection, and the wider base enhances stability without changing the signature Clifton feel.
Who It's Best For
The HOKA Clifton 10 is a great choice for runners seeking a soft, balanced daily trainer that delivers comfort mile after mile. Whether you're a longtime Clifton fan or trying it for the first time, this shoe is ideal for easy runs, recovery days or anyone who values plush cushioning in a lightweight package.
In our HOKA Clifton 10 review, weartester Caroline said, “The Clifton 10 is a shoe just about anyone can enjoy, which is why it’s one of the most popular running shoes on the market. Not only is it a go-to for runners, but I also see my much cooler, non-running friends wearing them around town.”
Why You'll Love It
You’ll love how the Clifton 10 feels familiar yet refined, offering the same soft and smooth ride with just a little more protection underfoot. Its comfortable fit, lightweight feel and reliable durability make it an easy favorite for runners and walkers alike.
