Hoka Clifton 10 Running Shoes
A trusted running shoe for daily maintenance miles, the Clifton has been the keystone of Hoka's cushioned styles for 10 years. Ushering in a new era of plush performance, this next-generation update delivers a revitalised underfoot experience with an additional 3mm heel-to-toe drop.
Jacquard Knit Upper
The upper of the Clifton 10 has been constructed using a jacquard knit, which offers an improved fit and increased breathability compared to previous models, with a refined heel and a better forefoot fit. Not only breathable, but the fabric is highly wicking, actively and efficiently removing sweat and moisture as it is created, leaving your feet feeling cool, dry and comfortable even when your training heats up. Perforations in the upper encourage cool air to circulate whilst built-up heat escapes, creating a cooler, drier environment for feet to thrive. For a secure fit, the shoes use a double-lace lock system to mitigate tongue migration, whilst the padded tongue sits comfortably against the skin for all-day wear and comfort. Completing the uppers are reflective elements that provide visibility in low-light conditions, allowing you to train safely on early morning or late night runs.
CMEVA Midsole
Smooth Meta-Rocker geometry has been added to the newest version of the Clifton. This has been designed to increase running efficiency and create a smoother ride as you run. The Meta-Rocker geometry has a low heel-toe differential and a sculpted outsole to create a unique fulcrum effect, like a rocking chair, encouraging a guided gait cycle. Supporting a runner's natural form while promoting an efficient, smooth roll from initial impact to toe-off allows you to run for longer, as this slows fatigue. The midsole geometry has been fine tuned from the last model, providing a more stable ride. A platform of compression-moulded EVA resides underfoot for lightweight, responsive cushioning. Generous, soft, and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces whilst adding an energetic response with each step. Hoka has introduced their Rearfoot-Focused Active Foot Frame technology, designed to cradle and support the foot in the rearfoot area, enhancing stability and a smooth transition from midfoot landing to toe-off. This is further enhanced by the extra 3mm drop from the previous iteration. Increasing underfoot comfort, there is a moulded EVA sockliner for a soft feel with every step taken.
Durabrasion Outsole
A grippy outsole with a full ground contact design completes the Clifton 10. The 10th version has received a new tread design to increase traction on the ground below while still being low in weight. This will allow you to keep in firm control across varied terrains over a long period. The rubber is highly durable, resisting the traumas of heel strikes to bring you a long-lasting running buddy.
